Sorry for how long the final video took, I finally got around to finishing it over the weekend. Piraten has been taken down for over a month now, and my next coaster has already been started. The thread for my next coaster has already been made, and can be seen Here.

Before Piraten was taken down, I did some measuring and found this out,

Piraten (Real): 105ft tall, 2477ft long, 56 Mph

Piraten (Recreation): 4ft tall, 72ft long, Average speed of 4.63 Mph

Height, length, and speed are all at 34.4 scale to the real ride.

Now I cant see the video because it's on you tube but that's awesome how the ratios all worked out. You did an incredible job!

It would be awesome if you could upload it to PB. or Google video.

One of my favorite coasters. The speed is fantastic throughout the entire ride. Magnificent!

Amazing! This is probably the best recreation I've ever seen. I especially love the 3 buckels
Oh, and I'm so glad you used the music I recommended! I can't think of any other soundtrack that would be more fitting. And the fades into white are awesome too.

^Say what? This thing is amazing It is now my new favorite coaster. Were you crying when you were taking it down?

^ Actually, I was kind of glad to take it down. After having it up since November, I really wanted to start building Manta. Then it came time to make the final video, and everyday I went to get the footage for it the cars would rollback at 3 different parts on the ride. I had some of it, but not enough to make a video, and I didn't want to take it down with it not working. Part of the reason the video took so long.

Thanks for all the comments, I've uploaded the video to photobucket for anyone that can't get to Youtube.

That's the problem I had with Stealth. When I was filming the final video, it wasn't working, and my launch actually broke. So I just had to push it through the rest of the ride, and that's why the speed is a little different in each clip.

Oh, it looks great. This is my favorite final video of all time.
