Hey everyone!! I decided that I didn't want to keep all of my coasters on that thread because it would be pretty confusing. I am going to recreate Kraken at SeaWorld Orlando. It will be my entry for the recretion buildoff 2010 I wanted to do it because it is going to be a chalenge. And because if I finish it I will be very proud of myself:p. Right now I have nothing done, I still have Medoroid in my room..
Here is a pic of most of the coaster:

Here is the logo:


I will start to take apart Medoroid today. I will have an update in a few weeks

Comment!!

Are you sure you will be able to do this? It looks a little too hard for your skill.

[SimpsonsJunkey24]

^ You can't tell if can does this or not yet! But dude, really a few weeks? That's way to long....you would have been better of just making this thread in a few weeks when you have pictures of the coaster!....BTW good luck!

[Jonny]

I know. Im doing a woodie between those weeks then I will build Kraken

[Pyro]

Good luck making it go underground. You will have to make it on about a 4 granite Knex base.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

No offense, but I personally don't believe that you have enough pieces or skill or determination to do this. Heck, I probably don't either. But I want to see you try it anyway. Prove me wrong!

[TheCodeMaster]

I think you can do it

[Eggo]

Good luck, you'll have to make it like 6 feet tall.

[maarten12]

^ that's not true, I'm sure if you have a well supported coaster with weigthed and lubed trains you can do it with 4 feet. But just make it as high as you want, J-boy. The only problem I see is the cobra roll and the turn upwards. Good luck!

I hope you'll be able to make this, really, i have some trust. If you make it about 4ft high and if you do the best work you can get, you have to be able to recreate it. Good luck with KRAKEN whahahah.

TBH, the only problem here is the cobra roll. I mean after a zero-g, good luck making it go through both half loops. If you get through that, well than that will be amazing.

You do know why the upcoming models section was eliminated, right?

[scott]

Gosh i wish you luck. =P

[Outerlimits659]

Okay why did think it was okay to start a thread with no construction pics and a promise to update in a few weeks? That would make it an upcoming model and that section was removed because of threads like these. Anyone who has been here as long as you have should know, and it gets really annoying to see threads like these....it's not that hard to remember....

I started it so that you guys can give me advice ahead of time so I will be all set when I got to build Kraken. Sorry if im annoying you...Right now I have my car wheels soking in water and my cars are ready to be spayed. Today im going to the store to get black or blue spray paint and maybe silicone spray. Remember, I am buildng a woodie then Kraken. I made the threadso that nobody would take this coaster idea for teh buildoff. But I dout that anyone would pic a hard project like this.

[dylan]

Anyone stupid enough to build this would be J-boy.

Well why would you make a thread when you are not even building this yet?
Come on man you ned to make up your mind.

[Jonny]

I did make up my mine. I made this thread so that you guys can give me tips!! And wall some of you do that I will happen to be building a woodie....

[dylan]

Well have you started your woodie?

[Jonny]

No, I still have to organize all the pieces so they are not all over the place.

[Jonny]

Can I have everyone's attention?!?!
I was really thinking about oing Kraken for a recreation bu then, I thought that it woud be very difficult to do some parts of it. So I decided to do Cyclone, at Crystal Beach in Canada. I will have an update in like a week because right now i'm sick and I need to still organize and take down Medoroid. And by sick, I mean throwing up....
