    Im gonna buold this ong thanks for the inspiration i have 32 big bins full of knex stuff larts motors belts and parts and i have 136 knex sets that i built once played with as a kod the. Put away back in box cause I've been collecting connect set since I was 7 years old so me my son pulled out all the bins and now we're fixing to build a massive roller coaster thanks to your inspiration and the ceilings in my house where we're going to build that is 20 ft high well 24 ft high really the ceiling is so we're going to do a 20 ft high drop / tower on the roller coaster one of the parts and they're going to do 10 to 15 ft high loops And it's in a spot in the house where I don't have to take it down and move it around and stuff like that where it's out of the way of people and other things too so that way it can stay up for a long time we can keep adjusting and building on it bigger and bigger and better me and my son I'm 34 and he is now 9 so we're going to build it together. The only reason we have 20 ft high ceilings in my house that I bought is because it used to be an old courthouse back in the late 1800s and early 1900s and it's a completely restored revamped modern home now which on the outside it still looks like a vintage house/courthouse but on the inside it's a beautiful modern house and our formal dining room has 24 ft voltage ceilings so that's where I'm building the roller coaster at Don't think I have some mansion at 34, but it's still a really nice house and a really big house and I only paid $250,000 for it but that's besides the point we're talking about roller coasters and knex and not my house. And I designed our own train and cars for it and it looks like a dragon one of them and the other two one looks like a formula 1 type racecar style and the other kne looks like a top fuel dragster the front main car looks like the front if a top fuel nitro dragster and the rear amhas the massive rear wing and simulated parachute and looks great gotta love 3d printers. My son also has me printing two other trains one to look like thomas the train and the khter kne to look like lightning McQueen from the movie series cars. We do alot lf cool stuff with the 3d printer and knex
