Sorry if there is already a topic about this but did anyone ever try to make their own model of a roller coaster that wasn't k'nex. Here are a few websites i came across lately where these people make cool roller coaster models. you can even purchase them but they are probably really expensive. just something interesting i came across.

Here is a model of the viper at our six flags and many other real coasters but they are non-operating ones they are just for display
http://www.rollercoastermodels.com/viper.html

Here is a model kit it looks cool and i was thinking of ordering it.
http://www.coasterdynamix.com/ you can order these kits from the online store

Here is a video of the scorpion model kit finished show above

And here is a cool website where a guy builds model roller coasters for coaster con he has sucessfully completed the raptor at cedar point and is working on our demon coaster!

Well, i've seen both the Viper and Scorpian Models before and i'm impressed by both! However, this is the first time i've seen the Scorpian work and i'm SHOCKED by how fast that thing goes. I guess I should have predicted that, but still, it's a lot faster than my k'nex models :wink:

As for Raptor, that's just crazy and impressive. :shock:
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter :(

The Raptor model is beautiful. I'm actually thinking of buying a kit and setting up a Batman coaster. :D

I used to make random coaster with the Screamin' Serpent K'nex models a while back. I think I still got it in me :wink:
