Although the last part looks a bit rushed, you did a great job! The drop, loop, dive loop, zero G roll etc. look amazing and the train has a nice speed through every element. Did you already try two boosters instead of only one? It could help to get it through the cobra-roll.

The way it soars through the first half of the layout in the video is amazing, it speaks to the sheer scale of this project. I can look past the booster. Great job guys!

Dang! What a coaster to recreate! I bet it will take awile for you to finaly figure out how to get this whole thing to work!:) Happy building, in the hot, humid, masquito infested place where ever you live! (You are not alone on that part)

This is absolutely beautiful!!! I can't believe you pulled this off!!! Great job! :D


Thanks!

This right here will be forever remembered as one of the best recreations of a coaster. The attention to detail on this thing was what I liked best about it. You did a really good job for your first c-roll, and the same could be said for the interlocking corkscrews. My only complaint (apart from the last picture being a little too dark) being that the end of the ride is highly unsupported, but I could understand if you ran out of pieces. What do you lube your cars with?


I had no more pieces and supporting it wouldn't have done much. We (Brandon and I) use a lubricant called CRC Siilcone Lubricant.

Well, apart from the funny little last straight bit (don't film that too much ;)), this recreation is amazing. Pity the lift hill doesn't work but for anybody who doesn't pay attention to this site, they'll never know. And probably won't also care about the booster.


Thanks, I tried not to focus on the end too much, but I think I failed that.

Great job on this, very tough one to recreate. The first half of the ride is absoilutely perfect.


I'd say the first 3/4th ;)

Woo looks awesome even though I was just there I love this ride and recreation too the lift is like 8 feet tall!q


It is!

Holy shit, you actually did it. Not a reflection on you, but on the difficulty of the coaster. Impressive. It could use some ironing out, if you're up for it.


Thanks, but after you posted this I already had the drop and lift ripped to pieces, and I finished filming :D.

This is my favourite coaster in real life and this is an amazing recreation very well done!


Thanks.

We did the MCBR, corks, turn, and helix all in two days. and one booster turned out to be enough and it flies through the C-roll.

The way it soars through the first half of the layout in the video is amazing, it speaks to the sheer scale of this project. I can look past the booster. Great job guys!


Thanks, RCF! I am glad you can.

:D You know that feel.

IT IS FINALLY HERE!


Though the quality could have been better, along with my editing skills I think my friend Halee and I did a great job!

Well, this is quite easily my favorite recreation of a ride ever made. ;) That being said, well done, you two! Not only did you two complete a difficult recreation, but also paid attention to detail, which makes it all the more amazing to watch. I like the final video, it was worth the wait!
Edit: I'm with Muzz135 on this. This is the best recreation ever.
Edit 2: BTW, I watched this video 4 times in a row.

Fantastic job, man! I am very impressed that you were able to finish a build this big, this fast. Definitely one of the best ever made, obviously one of the biggest! Like everyone else said: up to the MCBR, everything is absolutely perfect and strikingly smooth. I wonder what's next from you? ;)

wow the final video is so awesome . also like the editing considering how long it is. I am though really impressed that you actually finished it perfect to the real one ,which is incredible , considering the scale you built it at. My only complaint was the booster but it actually doesn`t bother me to much. Because the way the scale of it is , so all I can say is wow. Also one best scale recreations ever just because of the extra detail you put there , which means a lot when doing a recreation and you pulled the whole thing off. I`m very impressed.(thumbsup)

Well, I had 1,200 half moons laying around that I wouldn't use anyways... And thanks a bunch!

I wonder what's next too, i can't seem to make anything that works. Thanks! The part after the brake run was rushed, so that's why.

Well, I wasn't going to build another cobra roll, so that's why I had to use a booster. Thanks!

Well, it was inevitable. Thanks.
