Tack and support built with K'nex. Trains are 3d printed. Filmed with a GoPro Hero 7. Lifthills at 100% speed. Course speed varies between 30% and 50% speed.

The closest we'll ever get to getting the original Bat credit

For now . . . Hopefully a better real world experience comes around some day soon.

I love how you used the yellow tubing to keep the chain against the track on the lift hills! Insanely clever!

[@CoasterWriter]

That was actually Jonnie's idea! (3dcoaster). He designed the little clips for the lift hills that work really well for holding chain links in place.

Remember back in the day when they were hanging down on the inverted coasters xD

[@JunipersQuest]

Love this. I can see you building a ride like Ice Breaker at Sea world Orlando next.

[@CoasterWriter]

Thanks! Though I'm gonna be taking a break from building for a bit since I'm moving soon.

That corkscrew was clean!

[@CoasterWriter]

Haha, yeah - I was surprised how much smoother it looks compared to certain other real-world corkscrews.

[@classicamusementparks]

Most excellent

[@jbponzi1]

Great job! Only things missing, sound of an Arrow lift hill and the actual feel of the swing motion.
