CoasterDynamix Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hey all! Jack Rimer, Mike Graham, and Dan Linden here from CoasterDynamix. We wanted to let you all know we're going to be doing a KickStarter in September for a 100% LEGO compatible, working roller coaster kit! We've named it The Cyclone. This thing will have everything you need to build the working model. It has a train, 15 feet of track, and even the chain left all included in the kit. We also made custom wooden 'bents' that are Lego compatible so you can build and expand your coaster to unlimited sizes. The kit includes over 1100 pieces. How much will it cost??? We will have a VERY limited number of 'early bird' kits available on the Kickstarter for only $100! Prices will go up a little bit after those sell out, but the retail price for the final model will be $150. For updates on the Kickstarter's progress, sign up for our mailing list at our website: www.coasterdynamix.com Here is a cool video of The Cyclone in action. Remember, you get everything you see in this video in a kit. You don't have to supply any of your own Lego pieces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlahBlahson Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 This coaster was actually built by a guy who runs a Lego shop right near Weeki Watchee springs (The Brick University). It uses an older model Coasterdynamix track and was first shown at the Brickfair exhibition in Virginia two weeks ago. I was actually there when he was first testing it out a while back. Just shows the possibilities of this stuff. It's in slowmo. And here's a (non-working?) model of the American Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterDynamix Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 It's live!! Off to an AMAZING start. We still have a ways to go but we are really liking the progress. This system is going to be soooo fun to build with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 This looks absolutely sweet! I would love to get one and the price of the kit is absolutely worth it! Unfortunately with transatlantic shipping and customs clearance it just becomes a tad too expensive for me. But I hope it becomes a big success for you guys!

CP Maverick Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 According to the video, the American Eagle model is a working model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1ch0las Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 While the American Eagle model is really great, having something that actually fits in your basement (and doesn't cost 5K) is probably slightly more realistic. I'm in for one! Hope it hits its goal (1 day in and only 8K to go out of 60K looks pretty promising). For what its worth, if LEGO actually ever makes a roller coaster it'll probably retail for a lot more than $150 bucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP Maverick Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 10 models for $75 each... I suddenly wish I didn't need a new clutch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
