:D Hey, yall. well, my first

model was a success, but the pictures weren't. My second model was a failure.

But, this one is sure to bring back my reputation (hopefully :D )

My new

coaster, is a wooden one with no inversions. The last turnaround is complete and the

lift is halfway there. It's going to be like a classic woodie. It'll be 5-6 feet

high (depending on supports).

I'll be sure to post 2 pics tonight...
hope to see you then! :)

Sorry about the blurriness of

these shots. I have a sucky camera and it's raining outside.

Looks cool. Next time don't post each pic in zip

file, its easier to see not in it.

Just convert them to JPG in some photo editor (like

paint) and post them as normal pics instead.

Ok.... it's nearly finished. I still have to put

the tubing on the lift and finish the first drop and the second hill's ascent. I found

out that it's better from building it to the station backwards to the lift. expect pics

by the weekend or sometime next week (if all goes well.)
Oh, and btw, does

anyone have a name for this?

Another thing, the pictures are going to be

crystal clear, since i'm using my uncle's digital camera instead of my

flash-less one. It turned out better than i expected.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE:
This coaster is

crazy! It has a huge drop of like 4-5 feet and goes into a drop-turn... then it

goese into a 2 foot turnaround, into 2 bunny hills, and does a turn back into the

station! It came out a lot better than i expected. It might be the best model

i've built so far. You'll be able to check it out on hopefully Saturday.

Construction is FINISHED!

WARNING, WARNING!
There was a

huge earthquake at the site of the roller coaster! Many riders were injured, but

the ride remained together. There was boats, cars, and rocks being thrown in all

directions. It was a disaster. But, this incident unleashed the name of this coaster.

AFTERSHOCK.

Construction, or should i say destruction pics will

be later today.
