^that is what enables it to go through the booster
I mean a video converter that converts the video to an avi file instead of a mov file.

I need to convert mov file to any thing windows movie maker will take.

It takes a while, but it's worth it.

ok well the booster idea is okay. however, i built a launch system on another coaster that uses rubber bands and is totally automatic. but it can only go once before you reload it. maybe something you might wanna think about

^^ thanks but I already decided to just use the converter I used to use. I just have to make sure I get a lot more footage than I normally would it takes off 30% so I just take 40% more. lol

^sounds cool I'm already using a launch sorta like that.

EDIT: the video is nearly complete I would say I'm 75% done

EDIT: WOW you guys are going to love the video. The music I got is perfect for it the coaster goes right to the beat with it.

I have a question after I finish the next coaster Im building I want to build a Blitzcoaster. I will most likely use a booster so can i get a pic of the side of the train the booster and the car in the booster when its turned off.
By the way Maverick turned out awesome. Most people doubted you in the begining but it happened. Great coaster 10/10 :]

^thanks a lot.

it's really simple I don't know if you have the materials though.
it's jut foam that comes in a role like tape that has one sticky side to it you cut it too fit on the train.

you can use card board too I used that in the beginning but it looked to sloppy.

you just get a 1/2 inch by 2 inch piece of card board and tape it on to the sides of the seats.
