  • Demonstrating the two train operation. This shows the progress from first testing to the (mostly) final installation of the system.

    You know why I think its one of the impressive coasters? Its build with metal rails. And the layout is so beautiful

      Thank you very much! I like your 3D printed coaster. Are the trains and wheel assemblies all printed? They look similar to CDX trains, but the nose and seat detail looks super detailed. I look forward to seeing the lift chain get installed.

    I screamed when the lift stopped for an occupied block. As a former operator this is infinitely thrilling for me.

    Gosh I'm still so obsessed with this model. Can't get over those train seats! Those and the classic tube tracks just looks so realistically scaled to classic track design. Not even to mention all the control logic and zoning going on.
    I've always hoped a model coaster will come out, (dynamix has a $$$ one) I swear I saw one in Walmart as a kid but never again saw anything like it. Just seeing this makes me want one

    This is crazy all the mods you did to this since you got it and this vid was like 3yrs ago.. lol by now you probably have the transfer track automated and have locking/ unlockable restraints on each train. 😜

    super cool! would be dope to see you add a key switch that enables the clears, so a normal ride operator can only advance. but honestly super dope!

      I love that idea! I will be redoing the control panel as this model has grown beyond the original idea. I will be adding that!

    Everything about your model is amazing: the hybrid track, the scenery, the vintage style trains, and the killer electronics for launch control and safety for your trains and would be riders. I'd have no idea where to start with all the electronics. Basically you've created a multi-level complex microprocessor. The only thing I know of that your model doesn't have that you'd find on coasters we ride is sensors for the lap bars. Great job with everything. If I had anything to suggest, it would be to make a map of the layout with lights showing the status of each block. I've seen such maps on numerous coasters I've ridden. I look forward to following your channel. Oh, and last but not least, your beard rocks!

    • @intocoasters
      @intocoasters  2 роки тому

      Oh man, If I could automate the lapbars... that would be amazing.
      I do have plans for a new station. With line que gates that work.
      There is also a plan for a map with lights that mimic the light pods on the track. I realize that is a little unrealistic as I have never seen status lights on a real coaster's lift/brake run, etc. But it was to demonstrate the logic being applied to each block and to show other where the separations in the blocks are.
      And thank you! This is about 4 years of not cutting the length.
      Thanks for watching!

      When i worked at Valley Fair I was one of the ride operators of Wild Thing and there was an automated light on where the train was. Honestly I think that would be pretty cool to have on a model coaster and have some mini robotic Lego people walk around and ride the roller coaster.

      I am also thinking of cutting the carts down in length to make tighter turns in the maze.

    So the bottom of the train color no longer matters? Very cool. Thanks for the music, Jay. 66 block, hehehe.

    • @intocoasters
      @intocoasters  3 роки тому +1

      Correct! Color no longer affects the sensor.
      That piece of music was just Jay and a friend messing about on guitars, it was never meant to be a finished piece of music. But he let me use it for this video.
      Ha! Why am I not surprised that you're amused by the 66 block. LOL

    Hey dude, I really like that Roller Coaster model that you've built. What parts did you use for the support for the ride? Also, If its a possibility, can you make me a model similar to the one that you got? I think that would be the best Christmas present for me LOL 😂 😂.

    I have been watching this series for awhile (found you a couple months ago). I am absolutely amazed by what you have built. I am wanting to build a similar style roller coaster in 1:24. I am wondering what scale yours is in? I understand it was purchased. I just don't know where to start to build one.

    • @intocoasters
      @intocoasters  3 роки тому

      Thank you so much for watching !
      I'm not sure of the scale. I believe it's a little bigger than O. But I will try to work that out - I'm curious myself.
      I did a train build video prior to this one. The body she'll is different, but the chassis and wheel assemblies are identical. Hopefully that could help.

    • @intocoasters
      @intocoasters  2 роки тому

      Thank you! Funny you should suggest that. I am trying to gather parts to make a cathedral ruins kind of station/queue. You can see some of the printed parts in the video actually.
      The scale is slightly larger than O-scale, but not quite big enough for G.I. Joe figures. (I should really figure out the scale some day.)
