New model K'Nex Coaster: our first since 2002


Recommended Posts

So we have 5 model parks in operation throughout Ohio and Michigan. Our worst park model that just has never been to our quality level is called Chipper Heights. 

 

Chipper Heights is situated on two 5' by 16" shelves in my apartment in order to conserve space. 

 

For the Spring 2018 season, we have added a third level shelf at 5' by 16" and extended our first level shelf to 7' long by 16" wide. This gives us enough space to expand the park with new coasters and hopefully a chance to do this all right. 

 

Last year, we aquired a knex roller coaster kit (mirco). We consider micro knex O scale. Whether that is all true or not, I don't know however it matches our other O scale rides in this park. 

 

So we set out to build our first K'Nex Coaster since 2002. It ended up being short and sweet, however kind of cool. 

 

We call it VERIOLOSITY. 

 

VERIOLOSITY is modeled after a Geresheir compact Infinity Coaster that features a vertical lift and beyond vertical drop followed by 3 inversions. 

 

We are now painting the structure of this ride. Attached are the latest photos. 

 

Our original layout that we had created for this coaster was much lengthier and quick amazing, but we had to make it more basic because the coaster wasn't making it back to the lift efficiently. 

 

This new layout also enables us to add small rides in between the structure as well. Maybe someone can enlighten me on the friction rate of these coasters. There is one more project that we may utilize the K'Nex track system for that is not a roller coaster, in the future. The cars seem indestructible!
