New K'nex coaster this July

K'nex is coming out with a new coaster this July. It has boosters with a thrustair type hill followed with a loop. I don't remember the name of it, but I saw it one ABC news around 5/4 a.m. eastern time. Did anyone else see this?

its the rippen rocket

are you sure it comes out in july? I hear it was coming out in august

if its in july then it will be one month AFTER my birthday :(

I thought they said July.

Mine too colincsl, here's what you do...Ask for the coaster, but tell them that it's not out yet, so you'd like a "certificate" for the coaster that would entitle you one or two or whatever number you want of the set and, when it comes out, return the certificate to the giver and they will get you the coaster. That's how RCT2 worked for me.

Warning: I do not think like the average person. My remarks have plenty of thought behind them. Take it for what it's worth, if you disagree, please, feel free to express it, but don't put me down because of it.

heh, yeah, or ill just tell my parents that it comes out in july and ill get it then, hopfully ill just do that

Could you see if it looked compattible with the Screamin Serpent track?

Does anyone know what colors the track and supports will have?

Backhand, who thinks signatures like this are redundant

im guessing a bunch of it will be red... it just sound like it would go with "Rippen Rocket"

Does anybody have a website where i can find out more info??? This is going to be sweet!!:)

I would also like to have a website with some info on this product!

The only known Photos of the New KNEX set that I've seen are at http://www.bgtguide.com/~sscoasters/knex2003coaster/RRMain.htm. It looks like it uses a single car train and it has 2 launchers. I also like the fact that it is 5 feet high and has more track than the Screaming Serpent does. For now you should use a gaint rubber band to build launch coasters or mix Six Flags Cool Coaster Track with Knex.

BTW I found a KNEX Coaster Set that was never released in the USA. It is called Storm Mountain and it can be seen at http://www.knex.nl/FamilyFun/StormMountain.html. As of right now KNEX does not plan to release this set the USA.
