Jun 15, 2011. 7:57 AMalbydesign says:

Ideas for your future coasters. :-)

1. A transfer track?
2. A brake run?
3. Those stairs next to the lift?
4. A matinence track section?
Apr 23, 2011. 10:29 AMRandomguy65 says:
1. Use two trains. You'll have have to cut two track sections to size. I can help design. I have Micro K'nex :-)
2. Hmm well some of your coasters I see go a little too fast when reaching the station. ( NOT to offend you)
3. Oh o.k
4. Its basically a transfer track with an open walkway under the track.


Another idea:

A launching coaster?
Apr 26, 2011. 2:42 PMShadowman39 says:
If you do build one, please make a better launching system than rubber bands. If you do a drill it has to be automatic. :-)
May 8, 2011. 11:58 PMRNB says:
I'm building one WITHOUT drill, fully automatic with just k'nex, and it doesn't need to stop the train first. The train just rolls out from a drop (like Gerstlauer Eurofighters) and it launches immediately.
May 9, 2011. 11:11 AMShadowman39 says:
That sounds cool, maybe you can give Tornado a few hints. :-P
May 9, 2011. 11:47 AMRNB says:
see 6 comments down! :-P
May 10, 2011. 3:59 PMShadowman39 says:
Lol, he doesn't get it. Typical Tornado. :-)
Apr 27, 2011. 8:23 AMShadowman39 says:
What is side car launch? Automating is easy. :-P
May 8, 2011. 11:59 PMRNB says:
It's easy! I did it! (especially for VV, i'm making it for SS, which needs much more power)
May 9, 2011. 6:37 AMRNB says:
Yes, without! (hint: mechanism that you used on you lift that you wanted to put in Dragon Gem, and you said WHAAAAAT when you saw a freefall tower with the same mechanism... Use that one...)
May 9, 2011. 10:19 PMRNB says:
Simple, make sure thei're still at tension at the end of the launch track! (so the rubberbands go on a wheel back, to make them longer)
Jun 16, 2011. 10:36 AMRNB says:
Figure it out then!
