My Latest CoasterDynamix Creation

[scooterdoug]

Hello TPR,

Well, I just moved a couple of months ago from Reno, Nevada to Berkeley, California. In so doing, I lost my basement/coaster room. Luckily, there's some decent square footage in our new apartment, and my overly-permissive wife let me claim the far end of the living room as roller coaster territory. I don't have the square footage I used to in the basement, but the shorter lift hill allows me to build coasters that appear more sprawling, as opposed to the denser layouts of my basement due to fitting in more track. So, what better style of coaster to sprawl than a B&M hyper? Enjoy the Berkeley Bomber!

EDIT: I added 2 pictures of the first drop and a video of the whole thing in action.

That, my friend, is SLICK in every way possible. Now call B&M and tell them to get their Swiss/German/French butts in gear and build it!

Sweet, obviously like your very understanding spouse! I love the name, and that is one sweet CD model. Video Link? Peace!

I miss my CoasterDynamix sets I went off to college and can't fit them in my dorm room. I bet I could if I got creative, but I've settled with some smaller, less realistic K'NEX sets.

That's really awesome! Any chance of some video of it in the future?

I find it amazing that your wife let you build something like this in the first place.

 

That is insanely realistic, how many sets did you use?

That's pretty cool! It's interesting to see what people make with CoasterDynamix sets.

Thanks for the nice comments! I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I was surprised how quickly I built it, 3 weeks. My old basement models used to take months...like 10-12. It's harder and takes longer to make large elements look smooth and good, whereas it takes less time to make smaller elements look clean.

 

Iamawesome1124, I built from multiple sets and parts that I've accumulated over the years. This particular model used 4 lift hill sections and 11 & 1/2 sections of 4ft track.

 

Also, it has come to my attention that I neglected to upload a video. That has been taken care of, along with 2 pictures of the first drop. Enjoy.

Well done! Very realistic, too. Any more projects coming from you soon?

I think anyone who thinks Knex is superior to CoasterDynamix should take a look at this model. Realism at its best! Great Job!

Thanks for the vid! Great pacing on the model, even at insane model speeds it still looked very natural.
