Flight Deck Model


Recommended Posts

During a trip to the Alameda County Fair yesterday, a particular exhibit caught my eye that I thought might be worth posting. I've seen other working models of coasters before but none that were the likeness of a ride I've been on before. So, without further delay, I present to you the miniaturized version of Top Gu... errr, Flight Deck!

I leave you with one final shot. Top Gu... I mean, umm mini Flight Deck... through the trees!

They even took the time to add a section of Rip Roaring Rapids. I think the little people in the tube are either sleeping or dead.

They nailed the design really well.

Here's one for all you lift-hill enthusiasts.

Flight Deck at California's Great America! Although I'm sure when this was built it was still called Top Gun at Paramount's Great America. That curious little gentleman in the background is my youngest son Gabriel... say hi Gabriel!

Unfortunately I never got to see it in action so I'm not 100% sure. If I had to guess though, I'd say it controls the motor to the lift hill, the brakes at the station and also all the lights.

 

Ok. In anycase, still very cool.

 

^ and ^^ what the heck does that contribute to this?

1. I pointed out the model is great

2. I inform that the model is a costum CoasterDynamix model

3. Two points are badly shaped and could kill IRL

 

I've seen plenty of posts contributing less

Really wish I had a CoasterDynamix model because Im pretty sure I could get realistic shaping. I havent seen yet one where the Zero G was shaped properly.

 

I need about 500 bucks in spare change though...lol

I'm surprised at how many people think it still costs $500 to get into CoasterDynamix. The Scorpion is $199 and sells online for as low as $139. The new Phoenix will retail for $150. We will be selling models of Griffon and Sheikra through the parks for $100 and our Sidewinder launch kit will retail for $30! We still have the Dragon if you want to spend $500, but you can get started for much less.
