They're marketing it as a toy so they don't have to care about it being a realistic or interesting layout. Plus the current setup saves money, which is the whole point to the new kit...a CD set for $100. You get what you pay for and most of that is going towards the working station, lift, and train. You don't like it then buy the other sets an make your own layout.

What I'll probably do is buy the new set and a scorpion to have the sit-down train and station to make inverted and sit-down coaster. But red track would be very cool.

No, they said they have not put them on yet. They are just seeing how the prototype pieces fit together for now. Once they work out the bugs then they will put the rails on and test it out. Really guys, are you that dumb?

We are not putting RAILINGS on it. We are putting RAILS on it. Do you guys read the posts? I have said over and over that the colors are just prototype colors, yet I still have people complaining about them.

Dude, someone who spells as crappy as you doesn't deserve an objective opinion.
It is so easy to be critical, but to be correct requires more intellect than you obviously posess.

^Wow I spelled some words wrong but I can't spell and i never could. I don't want to start anything with you guys. I guess my main concern is that are many straight parts in the pre-molded pecices.

You could help by at least rereading your post over again, since you actually realize you're spelling words wrong.

AND, I don't think you understand how the pre-molded pieces work. They are TRACK TIES pre-molded into a shape, which you snap the rails on. Where are there straight spots? The rail will provide the curve.

and for anyone who dosn't know, the red parts are pre molded parts. I like the color scheme in the first pic but thats not the real color scheme :(.

EDIT: Red with that light blue looks cool. Did you guys name it or did you just name it roller coaster 9which dosn't sound good)?

Quick question...

If the first turn is level with the lift hill, does that mean the spring goes all the way through the turn? I remember you saying that the premolded parts have to have the spaces so the spring could fit through them.

Good obsevation. The spring will go about 3/4 of the way through the turn. We don't have a drop at the top of the lift hill because that would make the model too long so we will just power it through the turn.

So will this set come in a huge box and be very easy to assemble since half of it already is?

^no the pre molded parts will be broken down into small pecices of track. They will snap together easily though.

I honestly think that the new coaster looks cool. KEEP THE COLORS! I also like the feature of the spring through the molded track.
