The winner of this year's Model of the Year Contest is one of the most impressive models to be built in recent memory. Simply put, it is enormous. This ride should certainly be considered not only one of the best models of all time, but will battle Apollo's Chariot for the best recreation ever. The ride is well paced, super smooth, and incredibly long. My only gripe is more of wish; a working water splash would have just been pure amazing. And if you haven't guessed it already, the winner is...

I thought Apache and Leviathan would put up a good fight, but I knew in the back of my mind this had to win. Simply put, it's the best K'NEX model of any sort that I have ever seen. Congrats CC10 and PKI. Your hard work has finally paid off!

Thanks BGT and everyone else. I'm glad kevin and I were able to finish, and equally so that you all enjoyed it so much.
By the way, kevin and I are considering adding a water splash and station over thanksgiving break. We have at least one idea at the moment for a working splashdown, and if it succeeds we'll take at least a video clip...and who knows, i might get antsy and make another whole one.
Thanks again everybody. I'm sure kevin feels the same way.

Awesome job guys. You deserved it, and I knew it would be awesome when you first told me about it. Too bad I couldn't see it or help. Maybe next year though

If you do add more to this coaster, then I recomend you put a working lift, that would put this beast in first first place.
