Having Problems W/ Screamin Serpent

I got a Screamin Serpent for christmas and cannot figure out how to build the loop. I followed the instructions, but I can't get it built right. Can anyone help ?

Also How do you build a Cobra Roll and Barrel Roll

Hmm, well, how is it looking? Maybe I can help you from there.

Basically, you have to make sure the loop doesn't have any kinks in it. What is wrong with it? Does the train not have enough speed to make it through? You can look at my model page and see a couple pics of it with a vertical and heartline. For the heartline just build a long straightaway, then twist it as if it wrapped around a pole. Keep it as straight as possible otherwise it will start to resemble a corkscrew.

Umm.....nothing. But the element he wanted is a heartline. Just trying to help. As for the cobra roll Titan, you'll need it to be fairly large. I found that the train will lose way too much momentum if the elements are too small. You may also need the 2nd inversion of it to be lower than the first if it slows down too much.

I too got one for Christmas and my loop actualy looks like an inclined loop like on Mantis.

I kept the vertical supports straight but the thing doesnt invert.

Well my problem is the frame that is suppose to hold up the loop. When I started putting it together it started to fall apart it would not stay together. Get what I'm saying ?
I wanted to see it work so I went ahead and finished it up. So right now it looks like Steel Phantoms first drop looked like.

WOW!Exact same time!!!!

Is the drop supposed to go down just a bit have it go left 90 degrees but banked to the right then go stright and then start to bank left and drop?

Arrow Guy- Sorry about that. I missed the second line where he asked about the inline twist

Titanfan- So you are saying that the support structure was falling apart. Hmm.....well, I dont know what do say. Just follow the instructions the best you can and dont be afraid to play around with the parts. The entire set is very forgiving.  I dont even think everything was correct when I built the set the first time. But it worked. Anyways, good luck with the set. And have fun. :)

How many sets would it take to build a model of Wildfire or Titan ?

Thanks for the Help Everyone !!

My brother got it and I helped him build it today.  We finished it and it worked perfectly, must be luck! Sorry I can't help.

My Screamin' Serpent is running fine except I can't find where sticker 1 goes.  Does anyone know where sticker 1 goes?

Bubba,what is sticker 1? I forget.

If anyone has made Wildfire or Titan, I want to see it!

Yeah, I can't figure out what sticker 1 is.

-----------------
Force Laps: 424
Wicked Twists: ???
VertiGo Shots: 32

I actualy had no real problems with putting the Serpent up.  Those flexable rods are cool.  I'm not sure where sticker #1 goes, It's not in the manual at all.

Sticker 1 looks like a handbar of somesort.  It's orange on the bottom and has a greenish handlebar thing.

Anyone buy 2or3 sets,and make a bigger and better coaster?

I would love to rebuild Wildfire!!!!! Do you think it would be possible to build Demon or Raging Bull, I think those would be cool to build.
-----------------
So many coasters, so little time!

I was wondering, I have the old original coaster kit from Knex, is the track for it compatible with the new stuff?

I was wondering where Sticker #1 went, also.
