I recently finished the video of my latest coaster: Speed o' Fear. I hope you will all enjoy it. And don't hesitate to leave a comment.

Awesome vid! Its great! Although, it did get a little annoying watching the cars go up the lift. The onride view was great!Might i ask, how did you get the camera on the car?

During the onride part, when it was on the overbanked turn, it looked like it went straight, small turn, straight small turn, straight. But that's probally because I just got up im using my wii.

Awesome video, an even better coaster!!

Sorry for d posting.
Do you think you could make a tutorial for the supportes you used? They are so realistic!

[Jogumpie]

I tried to use as many action shots as I could. However, I had to show the trains climbing the lift hill.

The overbanked turn and the first drop seemed to lose their shape after many test rides. They became a little bumpy, but I tried to reshape them every other day.


This is what I use to record onride footage. I taped the camera to the first row and the 9V-battery to the fourth.

I may make a tutorial. These supports are actually very easy to build. You just need to know how to connect the track to them. That's the main problem. Luckily I have a lot of those ball-socket joints from the Big Air Ball Tower.

^Where did you get a camera that small? I want one of those now!
AWESOME VIDEO!!!

^ ^ i could still use a tutorial....
I know tht making 'em is easy caus i've zoomed in on ur pics with my wii to see how its done.
I just can't seem to figure out how to connect em to the track.
And i still have a small bit of confusion on how to make the supports themselves

[RCT2123]

^He just said he uses the ball and socket joints. It is the same thing I use for connecting any kind of turn...

I didn't judge the coaster at this point on the smoothness. I know that the longer it is up, the more bumps form, and since it was smooth at first, it is good...

Very cool on-ride video.

I had to watch again right after I watch it.Awesome video and great coaster you have to enter it in the MOTY award.
2 questions:Where did you get that camera?
How much did it cost?

[Jogumpie]

That's the place I got it from, it cost € 70,-.

I already entered it in Top Model, since BGTKing told us there will be restrictions and rules for the MOTY Contest.

[Antinos]

Very nice video. Definately deserves a Top Model. The supports looked like they could have been stronger though. Oh well...

[koasterlover3315]

Awesome video, those supports look like real coaster supports, the only thing was it that it shook alot. Bt thats fine cuz the coaster is too awesome anyway!!!

[Chubs33]

^No, the supports were sick. Even if they did shake a little, the layout and supports were amazing! Besides that, those supports are hard as heck to make. I tried and you can see how miserably I failed with Serpentine. W/e they are cool.

[Jogumpie]

^Without those ball-socket connectors it wouldn't have been possible to build most of the coaster. It is also very important you use different rod lengths to get the right height for a support.

Btw... taking them apart is even harder.

[CoasterBuilder]

Yeah, taking them apart must be hard on your fingers. Anyways, awesome video. I just love the on ride part, it was pretty realistic. Can't wait to see your next coaster;)
