I was looking around on the internet today and found this site. This site is where people have made different models of coasters out of the K'nex Screamin Serpent Coaster set. Some of the models are accully quite good. I have the K'nex set and made many models but I only have one set so my options are limited.
Anyways heres the site:

I actually just finished a coaster in knex.

Gone Mad! -cousin came up with name

It is a rubberband launch then shoots straight up into a inverted tophat and then into a hill to the brakes- I only have 2 coaster sets but I have the amusement park sets.

If you want pics and a movie PM me I will email it to you.

P.S. In Physics (in school) we just finished rollercoasters and I figured out that this ride launches at 100 in/s which is 56 m/h.

I am honestly tempted to go and buy maybe 100 bucks worth of these things on ebay...is it worth it? Do you really have that much fun?
