I am feeling particularly happy tonight so I am

releasing two construction pics of Desert Eagle. Not much has been built yet. About

1/4 of the first horshoe turn.

Note: If you would like to help me out and

make a sig for Desert Eagle, PM me. Thanks.

Second pic:

I am working on the

coaster's slogan. Have any ideas? I am thinking of using:
Desert

Eagle-SHOOT THE SKY
or
Desert Eagle-SHOOT FOR THE SKY
Which one do you like best? If you have an idea for the slogan, please post it. If I

like it and decide to use it, you will get pics of Desert Eagle when it is finished before

the public release.

It looks really smooth and i thought you where going

to use one booster for the first horseshoe

[nitro9003]

How tall will the coaster be?

I figured out a way to make an rr train westside7th

and it works perfectly. I don't have a digital camera so I'll try to explain

this as best I can. You know how there are holes on the side of the rr car where the

thing for the booster is. Well you take a stron piece of string and put it through the

front hole then connect it through the back hole of another car with strong tape. Do

the same on the other side as well. Then take the middle points of each loop of string

and put them together in the center and tape it. I hope it makes sesne

Edit:

found a crap digi cam in my house I think you can see it ok

/\ That is creative.

Nice work

westside. I have a cheesey slogan: Fear in a Bullet
That is pretty

cheesey. I thought it would be worth a post though.

[nitro9003]

Nice train. Has anyone made anss train that works

with rr.

[ThEoNe]

Do you mean an ss train that operates with an rr

booster? I higly doubt thats possible. You would have to add on something on the side

just like the rr car that can withstand the force of the turning booster wheels without

breaking.

Desert Eagle-SHOOT THE

or
Desert Eagle-SHOOT FOR THE SKY

If any of them I would suggest shoot

for the sky, you don't want to shoot the sky j/k , or maybe

"soar to the sun", "reach the clouds" somethin like that.

[Westside7th]

That is a pretty neat way of making a train, theone.

But does it work well? I might use it on another model but I think my custom cars will

slow down the ride enough already. Maybe I'll try it when teh coaster is

finished. Thanks for the comments everyone. I do not know how tall the coaster will

be. It will be as tall as those two boosters in the pics will get it! jumpboyb, I

decided on two boosters so I could get more speed for the pretzel loop. Thanks for

the slogan ideas. I still haven't decided what it will be but I have more ideas

thanks to you guys. There won't be much construction going on until Polar

Plunge is dismantled.

It looks very smooth! Good job! Also

theone, I like how ya painted the RR car red!

[vortexfreak]

This coaster is cool! The transition is very

smooth as always!

[ThEoNe]

The train works like a beauty. I tested it several times

and it works all the time. It is also has a strong enough hold to withstand anything.

I'm also going to paint the other car red as part of my model.

[nitro9003]

What about Desert Eagle- Glide the sky?

[Westside7th]

I'll have to try the train somtime when I get

further along in my model. Thanks for the slogan ideas. I like the slogans that have

things that have to do with the fact that a Desert Eagle is a gun. So, words like

"shoot" and "bullet" are good.

[CostaKid]

It is hard to keep cool while staring down the barrel...
That is a little too long though. How bout this: Desert Eagle: Bite the Bullet
Anyway, it look and sounds great.

[Da Squriel]

Nice westside and nice idea sort of theone and i will

have pics of my ss train that works with boosters soon but let me tell you they are alot

of work.

[nitro9003]

Desert Eagle: Dodge Bullets. How about that?

[AJ2K6]

How about this "AiM 4 the

SkY!!!" I thought of it even though it doesn't have

"shoot" or "bullet" on it. Do you like it?

[Westside7th]

All of your ideas are good. I will think about it. It is a

long way off before Desert Eagle takes flight!
