Actually should really re-create every steel coaster at Cedar Point, we will call you the re-cre man.

^maybe mantis and milenium force. possibly magnum. that would be cool.

to be honest cedar point is like the only roller coaster park I even know about besides six flags... that's why I can never get good ideas for anything.

it's pretty hard to look up coasters on rcdb.com because you cant just look up a coaster type and stuff.

finish up the stations and take the videos right now.

Ok, sounds good!!! Can't wait for vid-I'm panting in anticipation!!!

to be honest cedar point is like the only roller coaster park I even know about besides six flags... that's why I can never get good ideas for anything.

Actually, Cedar Point is probably the park with one of the best selection/variety of rollercoasters there is from what I've heard. I mean, they have 200 foot coasters, a 300 foot coaster and a 400 foot coaster. They have an impulse, a standup, a bobsled, a wooden, plus the extremely unique Maverick.

^ok...

^^yeah. I know but I don't know about any others.

update.

I wasn't able to get hardly any of the shooting in today.

I think it was to cold for the rubber bands they couldn't contract fast enough for the launch. :(
I sure hope the rain holds of Sunday so I can shoot...

It looks like Wednesday through Saturday will give me a second chance.

Most peoples 3 foot coasters shake, it's amazing how little it shakes for a 12 foot tube supported TTD. Great recreation TBM, probably the best recreation of anything I've seen. You should try to recreate a lot of Cedar Points coasters, or from other parks. It probably wouldn't be too hard, since you were able to build Maverick and TTD.

Have you ever tried to get it stuck at the top?

yeah I am lucky to have him do that but he doesn't always do what you say. :P it took 15 minutes to convince him that it was fun to launch it. and then it took another 10 to make him move out of there for a certan clip.

should I enter this in moty instead?
