Well as you guys know I'm making a roller coaster called 2012. What you didn't know is that I want to make this thing fully innovated. Something that will put Aminspecs name out there. So I need your help. If you have any layout, innovation, or element idea's please post them here. Lets show everyone that we are better than steelway.

I think my woodie walk boards would be cool to use for this coaster. They would look pretty nice on the lift and brake run...

Well, if it's a woodie, I can imagine adding a loop might work (like SoB did well with for a few years). I don't think that's been done on a K'Nex woodie before.

EDIT: It has been done. Not on a major one though. -pkiknex25

^^^ If I have enough pieces I will definitely add that to the coaster.
^^Bad ass man, I like it. I might change a few things but the main layout will stay the same. Thanks.
^I might or might not add the loop, I think i remember someone adding a loop but I don't know who it was.

not to be a downer but steelway has gotten to everything and the sad thing was is that it is really just steelway that made the stuff. If you are making a woodie then what about a everest type layout. I had a idea where the track unlocks when the car hits a swith. It could be done if you have a rubberband pulling stress down. You can make a 2012 theme with bulding almost hitting the car and that could be the same thing with a car unlucking a gear and the weight of the knex tilts over.

How about a launched Woodie? I bet anything that's not actually been done (at least not one that's actually called a Woodie).

I don't know if this has been done before, but what about making a tunneled helix like on the beast?
