Thanks for your question. I get asked this a lot at the exhibit at Union Station. My answer is probably not, unless they remove them, though I have toyed with a Mamba recreation, but it would take up a huge amount of space. I have yet to actually build a wooden style coaster, thought plans are in the pipe for such a ride. Peace!
With a bit of creativity, it will work. Just wait!

I'm wondering. Are you going to make models of any modern day steel coasters at WOF, like Mamba, Patriot, and a challenge, Boomerang? And either of the woodies? Btw, awesome job with all of the models. My personal favorite is the Orient Express.

A new year, a new project. I will get the tutorial videos done, it's just a much larger project than I thought it would be and very time consuming. Here's the "big reveal" of my latest endeavor, Project 35:

The videos for this project will start rolling out next month sometime. Who's excited?

Wow. This model took forever to get landscaped. So without further ado, I present the first model coaster of Project 35: The Roller Coasters of Marriott's Great America, 1977 (Santa Clara, CA): Turn of the Century. I really wish I could have ridden this one before it's conversion to Demon. Enjoy. Also, are you all enjoying this (now) second annual "retro" throw back each year? Peace!

- See how fast it's going? It would totally kill you. Screw the Euthanasia Coaster. Miniaturize yourself and die.

- This would kill you too if you were miniatureized. There are no harnesses on this model and as the train is stopped, you'd fall to your death. If the fall didn't kill you the next choo choo would.

Well, I took a break from Project 35 this month to focus on a new model for the 2012 Maker Faire in Kansas City. Maker Faire showcases items that people make, from fiber arts to robots (Google Maker Faire, it's kind of cool!) It's a model I've wanted to create and build a long time now - a dragon/medieval themed coaster. It features an 85 degree drop, 73.5 feet of track (my longest ever, beats the Orient Express model by a foot or so) and a dungeon tunnel under the castle.
So, here is Dragon's Flight, enjoy:

- This inversion between the double loops leading to the double corkscrews is what I call the Dragon's Tail. Kind of like a half of a Vekoma butterfly, but more rounded (and hopefully smoother!)

Absolutely incredible, Randal- and in every way imaginable. It's projects like that that astound me in every way.
