Thunder - A Model Roller Coaster
Maker Faire Bay Area 2018
May 18th-20th
This is Thunder - A B&M style roller coaster made from K'nex. I designed and built this coaster over the course of 3 months, and spent about six hours building per week. It features two lift hills, a loop, and tube-style supports.
