after the disapointment of not being able to do nemesis

until summer i have decided to do Oblivion instead i have already started and have the

lift hill the drop and the banked turn more of less complete so here are some pics so

far.
thanks.

[knex_krazy]

this is number 2 of Oblivion

[knex_krazy]

this is the 3rd picture. Because Oblivion actually goes

underground i decided i would make a second floor so that when i make the base like

a floor using knex i would make it look like it goes underground when it doesnt just the

floor has been risen which is why it goes up 1 grey rod.
although it looks pretty

rubbish at the minute when i have the track work complete i will do the caging around

the track where it goes into the ground and then out of the groung plus ill be doing an

exact copy of the station and for the brake run at the end that will probably be a chain

and yes it will have thoses all important brakes which hold you still for about 5 secs at

the top but obviously the carrage on my model wont hold it complete just slow it right

down and if i have to time it will have custom trains with 8 seats.
i will keep you

all updateed with pics and words enjoy.

FATAL NEWS: whilst Oblivion was in construction its

main platform, which held it up and made it look like it went undergorund has fallen

through nad brought the lift hill down onto the (87.5 degree) drop cause ing it to crash

to the floor it happened whilst i was having my lunch so i had no idea what had

happened because it was only me and my mum and dad in the house at the time but i

have taken pics of the wreckage.

No. 2 of the disaster

Oh No! Are you going to try to fix it? I have

found that when you are building a coaster, it is much better to use the green bendy

rods to hook the green pieces onto. Usually my coasters turn out smoother when I do

it that way.

well no i cant really fix it its gone beond reapair so i

might just bring it down and build omething else...

[jumpboy]

That really sucks,it was looking good and i know how

you feel about a model falling.

[sfmm_freak]

I think you should call this ride "Fatal

Attraction"</stupid joke>

anywhoozies, i think if it is going to

be reconstructed, you need to make the transition of the drop more gradual.

[PlatinumCoasters]

That does'nt look beyond repair to me. I had

socks catching on my coasters all the time and it was PRETTY bad, just try and work

through it one step at a time and you'll have it finished and back to normal in no

time. I think you should also make the pull out more gradual, maybe add some supports

on the right side of the lift that is vacant and put some weight on it so it won't tip.

The coaster looks awesome, when you get it back up and into construction you should

cover the base with construction paper or something so then it will enhance the tunnel

effect, just a suggestion.

[Da Squriel]

If you give up that is sad My mf fell over all over the

place and i got it back up and working in like a half hour so keep trying.

[knex_krazy]

i cant now anyway because i broke it up but im also

now waiting for my sister to move out so that i get her room and there is 2 floors to

this room so im then going to make oblivion there so that it has a 2.5m drop and it will

be great!!!

[wakey1512]

thank god you are going to make it again
i was

getting worried then!

[vortexfreak]

Yes just don't quit because it was looking very

good!
