I think that they should just do a lot of different types of

train, it would be better than just buying the train and track- you would save a lot of

money, but at the same time they could sell, say, 45 foot of B&M track with

applicable supports, or 45ft of Intamin track with supports. They need to expand into

supplying brakes and stations along with launches too, heck even special staions for

the fliers! Imagine this- a recreation of Oblivion or G5 with realistic trains with

Coasterdynamix!

thast what i said, like since its all b&m, just make

different cars

[CostaKid]

If I am not mistaken, that is what they are planning on

doing. But first they are coming out with their a station, breaks, and other track

extras.

[nyteflyte]

did you guys see the pics from the ihobby expo 2004?

they have the prototype station and it had a sensor so when it reaches a certain point

in the circut, the station ends out the other car! oh man and the model looks

sweet! they use over 4 kits

[Dakanektr]

Actually, the first

Beemer was Kumba, not Iron Wolf. BGT openned it in Feb. I believe, correct me

BGTKing.

[CostaKid]

Wrong, Iron Wolf was in 1990. Kumba didn't

open until 93. B:TR, Both Vortex's, and Top Gun (PGA) also predated Kumba.

[b] I just thought 4D

coasterswould be possible, just very Very VERY difficult. You could rise and

lower the second set of tracks (the ones that enable the flipping) but little kids and

young adults would have a hard time figuring it

out.

Here's an idea. What if they could have little

preset notches that you snap the rails into? For instance, each notch could be 45

degrees rotation, and the center on would be 0 degrees rotation. For each notch you

move up, they rotate forward 45 degrees. For every notch you move down, 45

degrees backwards.

It's a thought.

[cotton_eye_joe92]

Good idea, Xcooldude. You're a pretty smart

thinker, that'd be easy!
I'll bet you guys that they'll wait

for more 4Ds to be built so they become more popular so then they're more

appealing though. But I like the sound of them building a 4D...

[nyteflyte]

X has a pretty good layout but theres not alot of 4d layouts that could make them look realistic

[Coaster Man 555]

I want them to make a corckscrew

rollercoaster!

*ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT*
Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Great America was the first Inverted Rollercoaster

in the World.

[NitroRyder33]

Ummm..................thanks? Even tho I knew

that.

A giga/mega coaster (or better yet, a TTD style

strata) is just what they need IMO.

[Toastermaface333]

yeah, a strata with a working launch system... that

would be awesome! but a wooden coaster would be too.

[jmrtc89]

A wooden coaster would be bloody hell to set up.

A sitdown is managable.

A floorless car could be made, and sold

individually, therefore no extra track parts will be necessary.

A flying

coaster would only work if it was B&M, and the seats didn't transform into

differnt positions.

4D wouldnt be wise...It would be bloody hell to build,

and wouldn't be expandible.

Standup would be OK, but the trains

would be pretty bulky, and easily fall apart.

A bobsled is possible, but not

smart, due to the wheel and train arrangements possible at this size.



Face it...B&Ms are really the only area you can take these models.

[coastergeekrtc]

They could make a flying coaster train and station

that go together. then the station can have parts on the trck that hit a button on the trai

nthat release the seats. It stops in the station, starts going, and right as it goes it hits

another thing that will lift the seats up. Its not that hard but not worth it.

[Toastermaface333]

^ well if the

''full'' inverted model costs $400 imagine the price of the

flying cars and the coaster track plus the station that u described.... that would be too

much. so yes, it isnt worth it... i agree.

[Ace o Spades]

As for my 4-D idea I posted a while ago, I decided

to do some thinking on it, and I am going to make a pixel art of my idea. Ill post it

sometime tonight.

[Dakanektr]

Cool, I

automatically understood how to do that. If it is as you say in theory it should work.

[NitroRyder33]

coasteragent...WTH is up with you? You dont visit

here in months and all of a sudden youre bumping every topic you see...
