Compact.
Fast.
Not fun for all ages~

Knotter is a launched Intamin coaster featuring intense forces, decent airtime, and a variety of twist and turns to keep the rider entertained.

If anyone would be kind enough to do a station, it would be very much appreciated. *It isn't necessary, I just believe it would be a decent touch.

~Terrain may change. ~Track color may change.

Any recommendations on name/track color/terrain will be taken under consideration. Thank you. [:)]

I don't know...it looks like a great ride, but I still have question about whether my 4 year old cousin wouldn't be intimidated by it.

Looks like a really cool ride though!

It's actually pretty mild. I don't know many Grandmothers getting on roller coasters, let alone height restrictions.

Anyway, I won't be able to work on it next week because I will be on a hiking trip from Wednesday-Friday. However, I will begin support work the following Saturday.

Support work has started. There's a lot of collision avoidance I have to work with, but I've so far managed to work around the hard parts. Pics will be posted up in a few minutes.

Also, I had to move the station back and add another brake to insure that the E-Stop will work effectively. Due to this, however, I had to remove a train, so the ride operates 2 trains now.

On a plus side, the launch speed has increased from 45KM/h to 50KM/h, adding little airtime to the crest directly after the launch.

EDIT: Pictures with the first supports are uploaded.

This looks awesome Zoozer! Really a good knot ride...but, I have yet found more evidence contradicting your so called "fit for all ages...". The ride goes upsidedown! My 4-year-old cousin hates "upsies" like that! I'm sure alot of other young-uns wouldn't be too comfortable with that corkscrew either.

But on the bright side, the ride looks phenominally squeezed and the supports are comin' in at a good, safe rate! The only thing I can recommend right now is remove the "fun for all ages" statement, and you're track, and gaurentees, will be good to go [it would seem].

I have abandoned this project due to lack of interest.

However, if you'd like to ride it for fun or continue where I left off, feel free to download it in the Scrapyard at: http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/

Thanks for following! [:)]
