<br />
<br />Well here I am with a brand new SSC set and that means there is a new session This Session is called ACE and the first coaster to kick start the Ace series is Air Strike. This coaster is going toi be my 2nd coaster using Tubular supports and it will be my first time using Tubes to support 85% of the track. The Coaster was not inspired by anything. I simply had an idea and went with it. I wanted to incorporate 2 methods of propulsion so I first had a lift and then I had a Launch. It was very difficult to design both a lift and a launch that would run effectively and efficiently on just one motor. The launch was hard to design because the 6 car train was quite heavy and had some large amount of mass. The train had to be sped up quickly as the launch section was very short. I designed a suspension system to make the train accelerate as fast as it could but not brake of from the rest of the carnages. I also added a 2nd chain dog under the 6th car of the train. This have the train extra power once the front dog detached from the launch train.. The coasters lift needed to run slower the launch chain for obvious reasons. So I just simply attached gears to make the lift run slower with more power. Since the lift chain was very tense and strong it needed an emergency release. If the chain got caught it would rip apart the lift because of the powerful gear ratio down change. So I made a simple Drum Clutch mechanism that disengaged the lift chain if it was coming under to much strain. It was fairly easy to make and it worked well. It saved me rebuilding the lift about 5 times.
<br />
<br />Name on Train Comp
<br />My name on train comp was the 1st Competition for usernames on trains.
<br />The tomisdabomb02 NOT comp is the ORIDGINAL competition where anyone can get there name on my train!!! The first time I put usernames on my train was “ATOMIC ROCKET” over one and a half years ago! And the first ever competition I had was made more then 3 years ago when I advertised for names to be in the credits for “RAPTOR” My 4th Fav coaster I have ever built. This time the competition worked Very well with over 40 emails regarding places on my train!
<br />
<br />For all of the winners of the Ace Airstrike Coaster… You can see your username on the NOT COMP WINERS slide show below. And you will also get to see your username in the music video for Air Strike. It is going to look amazing so stay tuned
<br />
<br />The Coaster. I wanted to make a coaster that would really test my skills so I set out to make a tubular coaster and it worked. I did my best to make the track as realistic as possible. I also aimed to make the track as smooth as possible. I succeeded in some areas bud did not succeed in others. I now know what to do next time. the coaster has 3 inversions. First a Immalmann. Then comes my first ever Inclined loop to the right. Then I finished of with a Cork screw. I have always had trouble building cork screws and other inversions. So it took me a whilst to get the dimensions right. It pulled in a little bit to fast but other then that the shape of it is very nice.. Instead of flex rods as a back bone I found my own way. IS THIS A KNEX FIRST?? Using Track tubing as a back bone??? I don’t know. I simply thought of it at school one day. It worked AMAZINGLY!!!! I was so surprised at how affective it worked. I then added brakes to make the coaster that more realistic. I designed a simple and effective brake pad that was manual and you could adjust it to apply different resistant levels. It was mainly there to be another feature but it did a good job swell. This coaster was a huge success for me! I worked for 4 months of the coaster and the end result was amazing from the Brand new cars I painted to the Station deck. I loved every bit of the project.
<br />
<br />
<br />I hope you can enjoy the videos I make and I hope you like the pictures as well I hope that you look at all of them and I also hope you can message me on YouTube. Thanks for all the help from everyone and a super big thanks to my Girlfriend Jacqui Nesbitt for doing Such and amazing Job in helping me out!!

<br />Ok so my next project is basicaly a replica of the giant drop at dreamworld. a replica of the worlds tallest and fastest freefall ride. its going to look amazing but i have to sart to draw up plans and stat building. the attaction wil be able to cary a camera for a pov and the tower will reach a hight of 6 meters tall around 20 feet tall:)
<br />
<br />
<br />ok i am sorry for my fans who have been weighting for me to feed you with more information on the giant drop... well basicaly i did my first atempt on the 10 of october 2009 and i had the helping hands of Jacqui N, Jeremy J and Ben L. as we wer standing the giant drop for the first time we found that all of the suports wer buckeling and snaping. the tower was simpaly not strong enough so we then reenforced it with x suports insted of diaganal I rods. the tower heald its weight well. so we then stood the tower up and placed the 5 meter freefall segment onto the base and then we pregresed to move the tower 3 metres to its destanation in the midle of the yard.. as we reached the 2 metre mark we wer forced to stop moveing the tower as wind speed picked up.. we couldent fight the wind and the tower ended up toppleing over. i was so crushed but from the disarster i had the evedence in what caused the tower fo snap in the center and fall over. we basickaly suported the towers weight with the base of the tower. since there was heavy winds i was forced to use guidence lines atached to the top of the tower. it was basicaly bound to snap in the midle as there was no horisontal suporting in the center of the tower. the wind saw it as a sheet of polystirien and snaped it with its speed. i knew that i had to another 4 guide lines in the midle of the tower to give it full structual suport.
<br />
<br />
<br />The next weekend. (17/20/2009)we set out once again to make the tallest and fastest frefall ride in the world and we did it succesfully for the win! thw tower stood at 7 metres tall (23 feet) and the gondalur fell fo 5 metres. the atraction was desighend to holst a onride camera and posabaly a small animal like a mouse accept i thauight it would be best to not use an animal as people would see it as some act of animal crulety. the attraction had a 2 meter brake segment and it had an extra metre of egmergencty brakes if it was holding the camera or any other heavy load. the ride was fully functional with automatic gondalur sispatchment system at the top of the tower as wel as 2 brake segments, manual cable car and a asistant gonderlur lift to bring the guandelur into the station after it hit the brakes.
<br />

ATOMIC ROCKET! Atomic Rocket was built in the Summer holidays of 2009 and it was built in 15 days. the roller coaster was a challenge as i wanted to build to the biggest i could with the limited amount of pieces that i had. i had 3SSC and i used the Serpents spiral coasters knex in the creation. i was planing to create giant elements for what i could afford to build. so i built a 2 meter tall immelmann and a 1.3 meter vertical loop. It was a zero g loop. the coaster needed a powerful launch because i wanted to launch 5 trains. i tryed multiple launch techniques. i tryed 3 different ways. you can see them all in the !!!!DELETED SCENES VIDEO!!! below the actual video.. (scroll down) i designed my own type of launch. i called it the "Tom-Cat" launch short for tom catch car. the coaster was built to be realistic so as you can see that the whole roller coaster looks and banks smooth. i also made a custom station. which housed the launch mechanism for the "Tom-Cat" launch and it also held a station brake. a pop op break system that gets dispensed once the train clears the runway. the pop up stands in a vertical position coming from under the track and it stops the train at the rite place when it returns to the station. i will be using the "Tom-Cat" launch on my new roller coaster i am building as well! <strong>id like to thank my lovely girlfriend Jacqui</strong> for helping me out with the picture for Atomic rocket and helping me pack up the ride. <strong>id also like to thank Chloe</strong> for coming over and helping me and cheering me up whilst i was home alone. if you guys wer wondering why i was waring things on my legs. it was due to a incident that occurred and i got <strong>2ND DEGREE BURNS OVER MY ARMS AND LEGS</strong>. and i had to stay in hospital for over 2 weeks. also thanks for supporting me by visiting this page. :) i am getting payed by google ad sense so thanks or popping by :) so this is the video of Atomic Rocket and i hope you also love the DELETED SCENES VIDEO.
<br />PS: stay tuned for my new coaster. Replica of Superman at Movie world !!!

Cliff hanger and Atomic Rocket. the coaster took about 12 days to build and perfect. it was very difficult dealing with the tilt sections because they preformed differently every time and it was a pain in the neck to fix them every 3 runs some advice... if you are planing to build a coaster with a tilt section. id say to not build one unless you are super keen. i wished i didn't build it once i was filming it... it only worked once every 6 times and it took me the whole day to film. in the deleted scenes you can see all of the bloopers! seriously i as about to take it down because if how annoying it was. so Anny way. it incorporates 2 tilt sections built into the main structure and the track is wavy and looks like the mountains. the return to the station is smooth and wavy and is like the sea it has 2 camel backs and a hart line roll. the coaster also incorporates a station and a vertical lift which uses my new high speed motors. the finished product was awesome (movie).so now you can watch all o the media that was taken from Mountain to Sea :)

<br />
<br />In the video i also used my new HD video camera that i got for X-mass its a $1000 camera and i use it in all of my new videos today. the video quality sorta mucked up and went dark because i had not yet gotten yous to all of the functions yet but it still turned out to look pretty good.

<br />
<br />www.youtube.com/user/tomandjj
<br />
<br />i wanted to make a rollercoaster whitch would be diferent and whitch viewers would be interested in so i thaight of a new way to launch a rollercoaster. i came up with the idea that a rocket strapd to the train could propell it in the rite way. we and jj discused at school the rocket and the track desighn and then we came up with the final product. the only bad thing was whilst we wer testing take off the rocket destroyed the tower!!! it was compleetly destroyed so the project was called of but i got some good footage of it so here are some pictures and video of TAKE OFF!!!

The tower of terror is my favourate ride and i will show you multiple videos and pictures of the actual ride and my 17 foot model.
<br />
<br />This is some information for those who wer interested:
<br />
<br />Tower Of Terror is a steel reverse freefall coaster. The six ton passenger vehicle, is electro-magnetically powered, accelerating its passengers rapidly to 160.9 km/h (100 mph) in seven seconds. The track then turns skyward, with the passengers pulling 4.5 G’s. The car climbs to almost 38 stories high. Following the climb, there is a 6.5 second free-fall before the 90 degree turn is executed in reverse. The vehicle then hurtles into the station where it comes to a rapid stop.

<br />I was obsesed with this ride. i rly wanted to make it and i was determand!!! so i started to make the coaster. i was determand to set a reacord and wanted to make the tallest and fastest knex coaster in the sourthern hemisphere. so i did so with my 17 oot launcher TOT. i used a custom launching technique that aloud the train to be launcher by rubberbands but so the train wouldent hit the bands on its way back to the station and i also made custom side friction brakes. i use the same brakes today in my coasters as they are EXTREAMLY powerfull and reyable. so with no further adue.. this is my TOWER OF TERROR video:
