Hey guys. I'm going to build a new knex coaster it's called pegasus. The coaster goliath from walibi i wanned to build was a little bit hard for only my second coaster with the rippin rocket en shark run set. I've made some pictures of the lift hill were im currently working on.

Dude, please build with boxsupports.
I know you think that you can build something like that, but you dont.
I thought that earlier too.
People like The Burrito Master, Jogumpie, or steelspectrum can build so awsome coasters, because they have built a lot of smaller boxsupported coasters in the past and improoved their skill.
Everyone starts small and gets bigger.
So, please do us all a favour and build boxsupported coasters at first.

[jespercoasters]

I just wanna try it. It's like an experiment for me just see if i can make a good knex coaster with tube support's
I hope you guys have positieve comment's too

Goodluck, try to make it as sturdy as possible.
You should post this in the sponsored model construction since your in DutchDetails.

[kne` builder]

These are just improvements you should make:
-Put laterals on the base
-Put a small structure under the lift-track to make it more strait.

[jespercoasters]

I did that yesterday. Keep the tips coming.

Just letting him know. Not like I did it in an asshole-ish way.

Looks nice. One question, though. Do you have any SS trains?

[kne` builder]

It would be nice if youn would do a train of the screamin serpent set.
But those tubes are looking rly awsome!!

[jespercoasters]

I dont have a screamin serpent set:nevs. I've just bought a storm mountain set for 22 euro's.

Greet jesper

[kne` builder]

Oh.
Sorry.
But you should use the storm mountain car instead of the rippin rocket car.
They look waaaayyyyyyy better
And I hope you will get a SS set soon

[jespercoasters]

Here's a new update with a movie and pictures.

[Knexrule11]

The supports in picture 1 are bending alot, you need to fix that. And it also looks like there is a straight spot in the turn. And it looks a little weird were it turns right before it turns left. Other then that it looks good.

[Kevyn230]

The part before the turn looks really weird and awkward. Maybe because its your first tube supported. Well apart from that it looks really good. i can't even build with tubes yet.

[Jonny]

Looks good for your first tube support coaster, I bet that you can shape it out better when the element is done. You sould oil your cars ( NOT WITH WATER! )
