Introduction: Full Throtle Knex Roller Coaster

By
About: I'm a 16 year-old guy who loves to build mechanics out of knex. my main interests are ball machines and roller coasters. My real name is Matt and I'm a christian. I live in Australia or more commonly known as …

Hi! I'm Tornado96 and this is another roller coaster instructable on my recent knex coaster Full Throtle. This is the first knex LAUNCHED roller coaster on instructables and the layout is very realistic. First up there is the Booster which launches the car at full speed up the hill. Waiting at the top is a colossal loop which then Goes to a three-quarter loop. Prepare to puke because coming up is a vertical drop followed closely by a cobra roll. If you think that is all, upcoming is a small hill followed by a twisting horseshoe. Now, get ready to build this colossal coaster. Tell me if you see anything that can improve. Advance to next step to start building.     

Step 1: Piece Count

Here's a piece count of the roller coaster. Have in mind that they are all micro pieces:

Have fun.
