i want to buy some tubing and the green connectors, obvisouly i'm not aiming to build anything as good as yours but how much of each would i need to build a decent rollercoaster? (in feet and number of connectors)

you need like 200-300 green connectors to build a nice coaster. and anywhere from 30 -60 ft. so that's 2-3 screamin serpent sets.

...www.sscoasters.com....

we have all sorts of tutorials and tips for building there.sorry Im not going to sell my parts.

this coaster proly used 300 ft or more. tho it was at most 120 ft long. cause i use triple and sometimes quadrupal tubing on the track.

Or does 60ft breakdown into 2 lengths of 30ft for a decent coaster?

Jan 26, 2011. 9:21 PMthe_burrito_master (author) says:

well 60 ft of track asin 120 ft total, that's about 2 sets.

Jan 27, 2011. 9:47 AMThe_Lost_Carrot says:

So if i buy 300 crossties then that means 60ft of tubing but 30ft of track

Just buy a screamin serpent set or 2, buying individual parts will always leave you at a disadvantage.

it will probably have to be rippin rocket sets intstead as there are no screamin serpent sets on ebay atm except one for £50 + £20 shipping which is outrageous

dang that is, ive heard there's a more popular ebay like site for Europe, you might want to look around.

Jan 24, 2011. 8:50 AMThe_Lost_Carrot says:

does the 60ft figure mean that i need two lengths of 60ft so 120ft?

how much did it take to build yours?
