<span

style='color:blue'>I am going to build a recreation of the Sidewinder at Hersheypark

since my Dragon's Revenge didn't work.

Right now I am

waiting for my second set to arrive. When it gets here, I'll be able to finish the

recreation. But for right now I'll just have to wait.

I'm not sure

how I'm going to get the lift hill to work the way it does on Sidewinder.

(It's a reverse incline coaster.)
(That means that it goes backwards up the

lift hill is released and falls back down through the station and through the rest of the

course)

(The second parantheses are just for squirel (and for anyone else

that doesn't have a brain.)

Is this a Vekoma Boomerang?

Why

don't you post some pics of the real ride so other people can see what you are

trying to make....

style='color:blue'> Here is a construction update.

Well, I finished the

"cobra roll" or "boomerang" support structure this morning.

Right now I am still waiting for my second set to arrive.

I would just like to point out that a Cobra Roll is the

name for a B&M version....

A Boomerang is the Vekoma

version.....
