brand new coaster toy was released, the inverted CoasterDynamic set. These babys
will be released sometime in April, running at $500 dollars apeice. The company
will first be only selling 500 kits, depending on sales, they may make new types and
create more kits.
Personally I think that this coasters system will kick the
butt of Screamin Serpant. Although it is pricy (more for the serious coaster enthusits)
it looks like it will provide tons of layouts and awsome looking models.
Here is a link to the page with pictures. That model that is shown was built with
ONE set, can you believe it? only one?
BTW, for those of you
who can't figure out how you assemble this. its quite simple. First attach the
support beams into the base, then attach the spine to the supports, then add the ties,
and lastly, add the rails......
What do you guys think of this? I am definatly
going to buy one when it comes out!

*EDIT*
Here I thought I would link you to a topic about this model in Coasterbuzz.com, it
answers a lot of questions.

model only thing? It looks like it will be totally different to build from K'NEX
coasters but it doesn't look like as much of a challenge.

2004 - Centaur | Polar Plunge | Chaos | Nessie | Eclipse | Desert Eagle

like it can not

from what I can tell by all the posts made on coasterbuzz. although it's
unbelievably realistic there's no challenge, just know how to use a screwdriver
and snap on parts. Knex=better for challenge New thing=better for realism
ya
$500 is crazy and I live in Canada so that's like $650 for me. I
could never afford that. I say we stick to knex.

different tracks over and over again. It is totaly customizable. They will sell
aftermarket stuff too, like stations, lift hill extentions, and hyper coaster
trains!! I am definatly getting it when it comes out next spring.

2nd page.
The co-creator of it is sayingThe kit will come with around 35-40 feet of
track. The model shown is one kit. We may modify it to include a cobra roll after the
loop and move the Immelman under the first turn. We aren't sure. You can take
it down as many times as you want without losing structural integrity. The spine and
track come in 6 foot sections and have joints to connect them. You must remove the
rails to modify the layout, but they snap on in a couple minutes. Trust me, it works like
a dream.
this so it isn't a rumor.

You can build ANY combination you can dream up
since it is easy to change support height and track geometry. This kit was designed to
be totally expandable. Build Batman, Raptor, or get two and build Dueling
Dragons! There is no limit to what you can build. Best of all, the kit is easy to
assemble. How about two eight car trains on Dueling Dragons- one with an on-ride
camera on the front car and the other with one on the rear? Would that be too cool or
what?

Personally,
I think it would be a challenge, since you actually have to have an idea of what you
want to do, lay it out, then modify the supports. The most challenging will be making
realistic layouts (and recreations) that look almost exactly alike, and now there is no
excuse saying that it has to be flawed so it can work
But
seriously, this is something great, I can't wait for it....
