K'nex coasters

I use traditional K'nex, not the screamin serpent, and I've made several recreations, including an 8' tall TTD with an accurate support tower, an Impulse model, and a number of original designs. Right now I have a 5' tall loop model with a launch... And it works! :)

Those things are amazing! How long does it take to build stuff like that?

Can I see pics of your coasters!! It only took me 2 hrs to do Top Thrill Dragster..

MF Freak, I might post pictures of my coasters starting with my current model, but I didn't get an opportunity to take any of my previous ones. Guess I'd just have to rebuild them :)

All right. I will be looking forward to see these pictures. By the way, how many sets do you have? I have 4 sets.

Darn, I lost count :)

But it's probably around 5 or 6, but varied sizes of sets.

I make coasters, I am working on one now that is really long. I will have pictures of it soon on my website. The ones I have up now are like "tests" for our new bigger one using all of our 3 sets. It has two lift hills, lots of bunny hops, and a high speed helix at the end, just like the one shown on the site currently.

I like that one! Good job! Right now I am currently constructing the coaster Gemini at CP! I will have pics up in 2 weeks. I also made "x" and wicked twister!
