I just wanted to say great job on covering IAAPA 2011 as always. Also can't wait to see more interviews and more photos tomorrow. And my favorite IAAPA 2011 photo is the photo of the new Mack car for the Manta coaster at SeaWorld San Diego and a beautiful model, you can't get anything better than that.

The process is called stereolithography. Its where we take the model file (ie, what you see in the picture) and have it "Printed". Stereolithography is basically a 3D printer. There will be actual photos of the physical model as soon as the rapid prototyping company is able to get to it.

Lee Holman and I have been speaking about developing scale models of popular roller coaster trains, and wanted everyone’s opinion. I know some of you are thinking, “Coaster Dynamix already has roller coaster trains available”, but ours are going to be different. These trains will be exactly replicas of the actual style of trains you see at your local park. Each will be made to order, and feature whatever color combination you choose. They will include everything from detailed seats, to detailed wheel setups. These trains will not be operational, but will be extremely detailed show pieces that you will love to show off to any of your friends. To get an overall feel for how well these will do, we will first be releasing the Zac Spin coaster train, by Intamin, AG. The price has yet to be determined, but will feature a single, double sided train, mounted to Intamins widely known style of track. The price has yet to be determined, but we do know it will run in the few hundred range. The image below shows of a 3d model of what the train will look like when complete. The rail itself will be approximately 8” in length, and look as professionally made as the models you may have seen at IAAPA. As soon as the popularity of these is gauged, we will decide whether or not to continue to develop additional models. Pay attention for actual pictures of the model, coming soon!

I got my Bag of crap today in the mail, it has all kinds of cool stuff form all different theme parks. I want to thank Robb & Matt.

Here are some new Photos.

Here is an Intamin AG ZacSpin coaster car that i modeled in Rhino and rendered in Keyshot2.

it would be cool to use in LN2.But there to much detail In my 3d render of a Arrow car to use.

Here are some more photos.

No i do not have blue prints. I just had to use a lot of Photos To do it.

So i got the front car all done now.Here are a few photos of it.

thanks i am working on the rest of the car idk about a full train maybe later.

I modeled an Arrow Dynamics roller coaster train in Rhino and rendered in Keyshot2.

I went to Darien Lake Memorial Day weekend with a few friends and family . I have not been to Darien Lake since 2004 before I started working at Cedar Point. So since I was not going back this summer to Cedar Point I was happy to get back to my home park and see how it is now that it is back to Darien Lake, now that it's not a Six Flags. The first ride we rode was Ride of Steel that use to be Superman Ride of Steel. They started to paint some of the ride, that looks great. Maybe they will paint the rest over the winter. they had one train going and it was the blue train, the red train was getting a new chassis. One of the ride host said the the blue train is half red train and blue train all painted blue. After we rode it, now I think they need to put a new chassis on the blue train, it sounded bad. So then we saw that the Predator was going up from being down because of Mechanical.so we went and got on it. The Voyage trains look great on it and also ran great on it. That was a good move by Darien Lake.so The we went over to the OCC Motocoaster which we have never been on. It looked like fun, and it was fun to ride. it was not that fast but it had a lot of great turns, overall a great ride. After that we had some great lunch in the park.Then we went and checked out Darien Lakes New Sea Lion Splash show. It was a fun show it is great for the whole family to watch. Then we went to one of my favorite coaster the Viper, that was painted over the winter back to black, the way it use to look when it opened back in 1982. It was painted green and black in 1999 when Six Flags bought the park. So I was happy to see it black again and also able to ride it, It is great as normal, still one of the best Arrow looping coasters in my book. Then after that we made are way to The Mind Eraser. I don't know why but I love SLC they have a great layout and fun to ride some times, and this time this ride was good. They don't call it Mind Eraser for nothing . So after that we needed a break to rest from that so we rode the The Giant Wheel, and so I could take some photos on it. Then we went back to ride OCC Motocoaster again, I got to ride in the front this time and I loved it. We couldn't ride the Boomerang because they were waiting on some parts for the train, so maybe next time, but the new paint job on it looks great. Over all, the park was nice it was clean and all the rides but Boomerang were running so that was good. The new Splash Town looks great and can't wait to try it out the next time I go to Darien Lake. Viper all black again Boomerang with its new paint job. Twister flipping in the air. Viper blue train going throw loop. The Giant Wheel . Hooks Lagoon and Predator . Ride of Steel first drop turn.
