Wolverine Wildcat

After 3 months of construction, the re-creation of Wolverine Wildcat is finished. It took my friend and I about 300 hours (estimated) to build, 3-4 (we aren't quite sure) rippin rockets, 5 screaming serpents, and a lot of painstaking replication. It was built for our school's variety show, and it was a huge success. It was fun to see people's jaws drop :D. Sadly, it was only up for about a week, and only 2 days at my school. On top of that, we couldn't get a full circuit working until the 2nd day. But in spite of this, it was an awesome experience, and I learned a lot about planning ahead and prioritizing my time, money, and resources wisely. One of the biggest challenges for me was finding God's will for me in this. I had gone through serious questioning of "How can I glorify God through this?" What I found is humility. God's engineering of the universe is far more impressive than this replication of a roller-coaster. Enough said, here are the pictures.

By the way, I have hired someone to make all my final videos, so it will be up this spring break. The video is only an overview test.

Outstanding!!!! Nothing short of excellence. Best woodie recreation ever. Fantastic job on all the details and getting such a long circuit to work. It's great that you got to show it off at school. Do most of the people from your area know the real coaster you recreated? One of the best coasters I've seen on this site. Can't wait for the video.
