Roller coaster models?


Recommended Posts

Ok I have a question? When I was a kid they use to make a roller coaster model that you would build yourself and would have marbles as the train. I think the smallest kit had 2 layouts that you could do. A loop or twisty track. The lift hill look like a spiral staircase that was motorized.

 

Ok so the question is, does anyone know where I can find them or even if they still exsist?

I think I might have what you're talking about. It's a set of plastic sticks and joints (almost like tinker toys, but plastic and shiny) which you attach track spines to the supports and run two plastic tubes through the track spines...

Spacewarp. Crack with a track. I got my first kit in 1986, and built and built and built and built.... Needless to say it was the most amazing and unique toy that a coaster enthusiast could ever want as a kid. (well, until Coaster Dynamix and K'nex came along, of course) but for me there was nothing better to keep me going for years. Tragically my collection was lost in a fire several years ago- but I now know that I'll be feeding the Japanese economy again....
