I've been making this, and thought I'd post it on here.

This is a Giga I've been making out of Knex for a little while. Its meant to have a MF feel.

The giga looks sweet so far. You should make a catwalk to go along the lift.

How many K'Nex coaster sets do you own?? I saw at least 4 in one of the pics and the big ball factory in another set....i used to have that..i made the ball factory then decided to modify it to launch K'Nex pieces at my little brother. A rube Goldberg catapult, if you will. Anyway, nice work can't wait to see the full layout completed.

I just had to make a swing with Knex in my physics class. Some of the students didn't even know how to use them. But this looks awsome
What are these for?

I have like 7 SS, 2 RR, 2 Big ball factorys, and lots of VV and other sets.

Your on SSC? Whats your account?
I know I'm not the best builder ever, but I'm really good IMO.

If you want more ss, your best bet is Ebay, and craigslist. Craigslist is cheaper, but is a waiting game. A good deal is 20-30$ for me.

I'm probrably going to make a elevator track on it, then on the crest there will be a catwalk. Just like MF.

If I made it steeper, it was unrealistic. It looks fine in real life. Thanks!

I've heard they are up till High School. But I'm homeschooled, so I don't get the benefits:(

Are you planning on doing a full layout? If so, when do you expect to be finished?


Um..... Probrably 2019[;)]. Idk, it could be a few months, or like 8 months. I'd like it to be done in a few months. And it will have a full layout.

You lied to me, that thing's only like 3 feet tall. Nowhere near a giga coaster [:P]

But seriously, looks kickass. I love K'Nex coasters; I have a few sets myself, but not nearly enough "normal" pieces to make anything that's decent.
