Another Coaster attempt

[BobBongo1895]

Ok, it`s the time to enter the next Coaster Level.

Regarding to these threads, I will start a new coaster topic.

Failed job of myself

Let`s get started folks.

My version of a coaster chaise

Upstop and sidefriction wheels to roll the track.

Blockbreak to get several trains on track.

I´m still missing my BL order to get started with the first meters (feet) of the track.

Pin Connectors, I´ll need much more Pin Connectors......

And No, there will be no loop after the "Inverted" desaster.

A big, big thank you to Zblj for the hint. You gave me a lot of new inspiration.

Stay tuned....

Hopefully we get to see some updates on the buildingproces as soon as possible.

The things you've shown us look fantastic.

I will be keeping an eye on this one, hope it all works when connected up, looks good so far

[captainmib]

This is soooo cool, what a great idea!

Hope everything will work as planned...

[Edwin Korstanje]

Amazing, i can,t waight for more Updates. Keep going the good works so far

[Alasdair Ryan]

Very cool so far.

Just a short update of the first testdrive, after recieving the pin connectors.

It´s working.

[Alasdair Ryan]

Just a short update of the first testdrive.

You can say that again.

[Zerobricks]

Seems to work really good! I like the way you mounted the rails in the center, very good mounting point. How many pins did you order? Think you might need over 5000?

[Sam42]

Very nice! The track runs a lot better than I thought it would!

[z3_2drive]

sweet coaster, but thats pretty expensive for a decent size track. How many joiners do you plan to buy? lemme guess, OVER 9000!

[S.I]

Have you tried/thought about mounting the wheels of the cars in a V shape at the sides? so:

\       /
o     o
/       \

to reduce friction?

[BobBongo1895]

Hey ho,

to test the system, I ordered 450 Pin Connector. For the final working version I will need round about 3000 of them.

The price is still ok, I paid 60€ for the 450 connectors and the necessary short axles.

The V-Shape is maybe a solution to reduce friction, but this is not the way a real coaster work these days.

My next step in the building process is the testing of a drop and the following hill.

stay tuned....

You could do something like this?:

[BobBongo1895]

Haha, what a cute little minifig coaster, is it yours? Any links or additional pics?

And yes, I will build a coaster in a style like that one, you`ve posted, but it will be more a "Gerstlauer" coaster type.

Here is a another short video of a drop test. It´s still running smooth and fast, a bit too fast. It´s possible to reduce the height of the hill.

Now it´s time to get a layout and money for extreme bricklinking, have fun and stay tuned....

[Edwin Korstanje]

Very Good Bob,

Your Super Bongo ride get's more and more shape and i think that the most off us can't waight too see more

[Sam42]

This has the potential to be awesome!

[The Blue Brick]

This is absolutely awesome. I love how there is a hill now. i can't wait to see more updates.

[JunkstyleGio]

Nice work so far!

Keep up the good work!

[morcianknight]

Can't wait to see the final model, looks great.

[Crazydance]

Can't wait to see the final model, looks great.

Whoa! As a rollercoaster fan I can't get enough of these models. This one looks nice and works quite well!

I'm following this one really close!

[Carsten Svendsen]

Nice, may I know what you put inside the pin joiners to make the turns and banks? Rigid hose?

[BobBongo1895]

It´s a very easy and cheap answer, I just used the simple black technic pins.

Ok it´s stress for the pins, but I don´t care about it.

[Carsten Svendsen]

Ah ok, so the banking in the video is the smallest turn that's possible to create from this solution? I think that turning the pins the right way around will cause less stress on them (but still a lot though) meaning that the end parts of the pin needs to be placed vertically of the way the track needs to be oriented. They would still be unusable after a couple of weeks though - just like my axles on my airplane

[Gijserman]

I'm working on a new type of coaster based on the same concept as your one

Now I just need thousands of pin joiners...

Anyone?
