Alot better than the TTD version, looks stable

Someone needs to do one of these that really works

It does really work

Thats cool, i think now k'nex should make rocket coaster recreations instead of really crappy layout rides

its cool, ive known about it for a while and i got a video, it fast[:p]

That looks pretty cool. Much better than any of my attempts to make a model coaster.

I wanna see the video! I wish i had that thing. It looks very well built

Looks cool,but that would suck to make it, then have to take it down.

how does he get it to accelerate?!?

a big ass rubber band [:)] conected to the upper part of the tower[:)]

can someone put a link of the video?

Pull out = Ouch.


Not to mention that someone has WAY too much free time and WAY too much money. I dont even want to know how many sets were needed to make that.

I think he got it moving by the motors from the newest coaster design... Cant think What it is called...

I made a 6ft TTD model and it took both motors to get it over.

Here's your video link:

Just click on "download."

As far as sets go, says on the page that it took 3 Serpent sets, 2 Rocket sets, 289 grey rods, and 3 months. Looks like fun!

no in the video it shows him pulling it back and letting it go

(70 * 3) + (2*80) = 400 when you figure in taxes and other expenses.

Thats nuts. Give me 400 bucks, Ill get tickets to a theme park.

That's probably around right Real. I also do this, when I was joking about a 1:24 scale MF, I figured it would take 9 sets, and cost over 500$.

There's also another way to launch these coasters, other than the rubberband and those stupid motors. You could hook a string to a piece of the chain, make a back tower, attach a weight and drop that, or just yank as hard as you could.

^A weighted catapult drop. Similar to the Sharwtzkopf shuttles. Would be interesting I'm sure.
