won't start on it until Polar Plunge is open. I will do whatever it takes to get the
heads off.

about ten minutes to pull of the boy and girl's heads! It wasn't that
hard. I am going to start work on making custom RR flyer cars.

first and worked at him for 8 minutes. He didn't budge. I tried the girl for a
minute and she popped right off so then I did the boy and he popped off quickly too.
You just need to pull as hard as you can and keep doing it until they come off. Also, it
helps to bend their necks to one side as you pull.
I just finished making a
custom flyer car that will seat 4 lego people in one row. Riders will be seated in pairs
and placed in one row of four but there will be a divider in the middle seperating the
two pairs. However, I have not placed any of the riders in yet. Since this uses RR
boosters, I don't know what to use as restraints. Rubber bands are annoying to
get on but work pretty well. I don't know if rubber cement will hold very well
with the powerful blast from the boosters.

a store like wal-mart,go to hair stuff and look for small black rubber bands.Goody
brand snap real easy so look by the relaxers and stuff thats how our wal-marts are set
up.
I just tried to get the heads out and they came right out doing the way
you discribed.Maybe ill do a launched floorless one day.

floorless would be fun to ride. In RCT2, I made floorless rocket coasters and floorless
and flying impulse coasters. But, some rides shouldn't be done. I was talking to
Nitro on AIM and he said he wanted to do stand-up rocket coaster but I think that
would be painful to ride.

people I doubt, but I know you'll be able to do it with your experience. Just make
sure it has a LOT of speed, or put a booster right near it. Good
luck!!!

A stand-up rocket in real life would beThe
RR boosters are great, IMO. A launched floorless would be fun to ride. In RCT2, I
made floorless rocket coasters and floorless and flying impulse coasters. But, some
rides shouldn't be done. I was talking to Nitro on AIM and he said he wanted to

fun IMO.They would just have to make a completly new stand-up train and not base it
off the TOGO or B&M trains.Intamin could make a train without the stand up
seat thing and some other stuff and it would be fine IMO.
BTW,will the train fit
through the boosters?

Giovanola on some stand-up coasters. If you go on their website, they have stand-up
coasters listed as a product. Their seatin design is just like the B&M style and
the trains, IMO look worse. Stand-up trains are big and bulky and fast acceleration
like TTD would wear down the trains very quickly. Plus, a sudden jolt from a luanch
would knock you off your feet!
Now that
you mention it, I don't think the trains will fit through the boosters but I can
modify them so they fit. Right now, most of my time is going towards getting Polar
Plunge up and ready to go.

I have made a logo/sig for Desert Eagle. For those of you who don't know, a
desert eagle is a very powerful pistol. I decided to name my new flyer after it
because the Eagle part fits the coaster type and since it is a rocket, why not name it
after a gun?
So, without further ado, here is the logo for Desert Eagle:

Plunge is shceduled to be assembled today in a few hours so once that is up, more
work can begin on Desert Eagle. By the way, do you guys like th logo or is it too
plain? I thought is was simple yet effective. Also, depending on speed and ho I place
the boosters, some new elements might be added to teh coaster. It all depends on the
speed.

built and 1 booster is in place. The base of the big horeshoe turn is being built. Also,
the car has been modified to fit through the booster.

awesome. I tried to make one by disassembling the ss car and merely attacthing those
key parts to the rr, but it didn't work

didn't work very well, either. Desert Eagle will most likely be one car per
train.
As you probably have noticed from my logo for Desert Eagle, I am
not very good at making sigs or logos, mine are usually very simple. So, if anyone who
is good at making sigs would be willing to help me out and make me a sig for Desert
Eagle, please PM me. Thanks.
Originall, the plan for Desert Eagle was to
have the first horseshoe turn be the highest point of the ride but I have decided now to
just build it as high as 1 booster will take it. I want to save the boosters for some other
elements. Construction has been halted at the moment because Polar Plunge needs
my attention right now.
