Lots of bits and pieces are coming together for the theming. (Also, I have added a support to the drop, which I'll show more clearly in the next update)

Insane amount of theming here. I love the brick paper and printed signs, they add a ton of character to this build.

The coaster is complete! 

 

. . . but the final video is gonna take me a little longer to make.

 

In the meantime, please watch this final construction update on the coaster, where I'm able to highlight all the theming.

This is uh... I uh, uh... anything I could say can't do this justice. 



I'm not done building yet.

This is a level of theming I've never seen before. Incredible work! The brick building and snowy terrain is really good, especially with the way the track interacts with it. I love how that first inversion squeezes through a tiny hole in the bricks. But then the lights, the moving parts, even the motion-activated sound, it's above and beyond what I was expecting. I hope you can really show off all that hard work in the final video!

When you said fun fact, I was very much expecting you to tell me that Charles Dickens was big into roller coasters.

 

I love the theming, and I'm excited for the video

Here's the final video! This is the most ambitious (risky) coaster I've done, going beyond theming and into the realm of storytelling. So please let me know what you think!

Wow. That video was so good! I felt like I was in the pre-show of a ride at Universal. Especially Gringotts. You are the king of theming.
