DLDude Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 After 3 years of development, Adam Reed Tucker (The creator of the Lego Architecture Series) and the engineers at CoasterDynamix are excited to announce a new way to create roller coasters that will blow your mind! The X-Labs Roller Coaster Factory finally allows you to build hyper-realistic roller coaster models with your current Lego bricks! We have designed brand new coaster trains and a whole new track style that makes a Lego roller coaster a reality. Simply add the Roller Coaster Factory track and train to a Lego support structure and let your imagination flow. This amazing set will debut as a limited edition (Only 1000 sets will be made) collector’s item and will be available in the next week via the CoasterDynamix website. I will post more about the project as the week progresses!
hyyyper Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Looks interesting. Can't wait to see the possibilities of this new coaster system.
Randomman295 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 This sounds absolutely amazing! What's the estimated cost?
Moose Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 It will probably be cheaper than if LEGO were to release it. This looks like it has great potential!
gisco Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 With only 1000 being produced it is an instant collector item. I can see people buying two sets, one to play with, one to save.
SoCalCoasters Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 This looks awesome! I really wish Lego would pick this system up for real, as I could see some really cool ideas coming out of it.
DLDude Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 The Limited Edition sets will go for $100 for everything shown in the picture. That's about the same price as 20' of CoasterDynamix track with a train, with the added benefit of being able to apply it to LEGO! These new trains are beautiful. You can snap more cars in the back or take cars off. No screws at all!
Jew Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Definitely cooler than the spacewarp's of the previous generation. Hopefully they sell out so there is more incentive to mass produce.
SoCalCoasters Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Have any media of the system in action? I would love to get a closer look at it.
fluffybunny88 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I was at the Lego convention where this was announced as an attendee and attended the siminar where they unveiled it and told us about future plans which I can't comment on. But I did get 2 of the sets and once I get home and settled over the next few days plan to start building and working on some coasters. The quality of the peices is great it mates with the Lego parts just fine and everything works great. I took some videos and pictures of the coasters and a few other things that Lego builders built with the coaster track just to show the flexibility of the kit. I will post links once I get home in a couple of days
DLDude Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 Hey all! Here are a couple pictures from the debut at BrickWorld in Chicago (A lego convention)
DLDude Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 We now have a website! http://www.therollercoasterfactory.com/

Wes Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Cute concept...looking forward to our model forum coming up with some crazy designs.
dvsntt Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Wow this is so cool. I pre-ordered 2 sets. I love Lego and amusement parks. This is the perfect pairing.
