Insurrection - Knex GCI Woodie

[donkeyman18A zonkey is a cross between a zebra and a donkey.]

Smooth with airtime and incredible supports one of the if not best coasters made from K'nex's ive ever seen.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Pics got a little blurry, Camera Issues. But I could really use some feedback on this turn before I move on.

















Enjoy!

[Doerzb91I know quite a lot about Donkeys!]

That turn is so..... so sexy.

Love the first drop and everything about it, looks amazing!

[FilmoreISnAZNDoes Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

LOVE IT! It's absolutely beautiful.

One thing. Will you be adding laterals to your supports? I think that adding laterals will greatly enhance the wooden coaster feel as well as making it a much more realistic GCI (especially on that awesome turnaround).

Stunning. Simply stunning. That turn just looks incredible and I cannot wait to see a finished product.

Thanks for all of the feed back guys. I'm really trying to do this the best that it can be done. I'll have a update with the station fly by tomorrow.

^^ I plan on adding lateral supports to that turn and the large airtime hill once i'm done, as well as a few other places that may or may not structurally need them. As usually I'm running short on pieces so that's why I am waiting to the end. I also have a large station and some paths that need to be built.

Sorry. Double Post.


Small update here. I'm just showing the finished fly by.

This is absolutely mindblowingly awesome! I cant find any faults with it.

oh, and in the last picture, you cat is probably thinking something like "I wish i was getting as much attention as that knex rollercoaster "

^My cat loves to hang out around my coaster and to go in them when he can.

So the next section is finished. With the addition of hill over the lift and the following air hill (which I will probably be changing to make more GCIish) I am up to 7 out of 10 airtime moments. As you can see on the ground in the pictures bellow, I'm planing a figure 8 finale. Which will include the remaining 3 airtime spots and a bunch of twisty goodness. It wont be just a basic figure 8 The angle and elevation of the turns will be changing just like real GCIs. But I'm not totally sold on the idea so if anyone has any good, twisty, airtime filled endings that would fit well on my GCI I am open to, and would appreciate, suggestions. Also, I am currently out of the following: All 3d connectors, granite rods, metallic green rods, and metallic blue rods, so a Knex order is called for and this will be the last update for a while (Week or two). And now pictures:
