Dang, that's insane! I can't believe that you also put in custom cars! Everything about this coaster is awesome! I can't wait for the final video.

Thanks me too!!

 

I look so elegant sitting on your sofa.

And those four days of constants assembling, then disassembling were miserable. Followed by the 2 weeks of constant building from Gwazi. :P

Yes we all know lol. Thanks for the help buddy!

 

I love the details on this, for example I really like the station and switch tracks. It looks like you weren't able to keep the scale of elements exact but that's to be expected with a recreation, especially with custom cars. Very clean otherwise, nice job!! Good luck on Gwazi!

I wanted to make the station as realtistic as possible and effiecntly working. I just had to make make tracka nd suports really strong to make the train complete the layout. We already did gwazi in August lol, check out the thread soometime.

 

Now that is impressive! Your supports look beautiful - and incredibly realistic too, and you really can't fault the shaping at all!

Maybe you could just modify the...oh wait.

Did the switch track actually work?

No it was impossibe for the track to line up so I just did one side so it would work everytime! But thanks for the comment.

 

Very nicely built! This looks brilliant and I look forward to seeing the video! :)

Thank you very much. Here's the video!!

 

The ending seems a little bit sloppy, however this is definitely one of the best models I've seen in a long time.  Great work here, especially on the supports.

Yea IK it's a little sloppy but rushed it becasuse we only had two days to finsh and film the final video for the coaster and we running out of pieces after the lie to fly part but the barrel rolls turned out nicely then expected. I used some of CG987's pieces after the barrel rolls to finsih the helix and brake run.

 

I'm very impressed that you maintained speed so well! It's crazy that the custom cars can make it all the way through the layout and that the supports don't shake noticeably. I'm really glad you put in the effort to finish this awesome model!

Thanks dude! Your should do a recreation of Revoultion or Twisted Collosus sometime!!

 

Well here's what you've all been waiting for the final video!!

 

 

Comment on what you think of the final video!! :P

 

I'll post my next coaster tomorrow too!!

Thanks to the solid supporting on this coaster, the train maintains speed very well! There is barely any shaking and the train has a wonderful pace through every element. I enjoyed watching the Final Video, good job!

The shaping is looking amazing! I love the look the supports and lift hill give it. It looks like you nailed the Vekoma Flying Dutchman feel! Awesome job so far!
