Dragon's Flight Model Roller Coaster

- NOTE: These are videos of model roller coasters that are built as a hobby. They are not for sale. There are no instructional videos. This model was built using .030 thick Styrene plastic for the track, aluminum tubing for the track support spine and wooden dowels for the structure. The train was hand made using styrene plastic. The wheels are modified HO scale wheels.
This model is an original design. This model was built for the 2012 Maker Faire at Kansas City's Union Station. I had always wanted to do a dragon/medieval themed coaster. One of my longest models so far, it features a double loop threaded by a double interlocking corkscrew. These inversions are connected by what I call a Dragon's Tail loop. Also features an overbanked turn, a pass under the castle and the Dragon's Cave at the beginning. The finale is an undulating 570- degree helix. It was inspired by the availability of Medieval items at the craft store.

I love your videos!! You deserve to have more subscribers than PewDiePie!! Keep it up! Greetings from Spain! If I wrote something wrong, sorry!
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words and your English is just fine!
I have not done an inverted coaster as of yet, no plans in the immediate future to do one either. : )
and you could go to the website also... :) There's a list of everything I use to make my models and how to info as well.
Epic. -w-
I enjoy it. It's my hobby.
De hecho tengo amigos en Guadalajara y la esperanza de bajar de su y de viajar en el posavasos en algún futuro no muy lejano. Una de las montañas (Titan, creo que es como lo llaman ahora) que solía ser en los EE.UU. en un parque cerca de Detroit. ¡Paz!
I'm still waiting on the "How To Make A Model Roller Coaster" videos ^w^ I make them sometimes but they don't work :3
So will there be G-suits available before i step into one of the cars?
Kidding, but I do want to build a model liek this for myself (after seeing the five tutorial videos currently available) but I don't have the space. I think I'll try making them half-size (7/16" wide track).
I'll be continuing them soon. Like next week!
¡Gracias! Se viene un tiempo a finales de julio!
Hi, vivo en la ciudad de Toluca muy cerca de la Capital Ciudad de México. En Guadalajara existen muy pocas montañas rusas, aunque hay rumores que Schwarzkopf Bullet (Wiener Looping) está ahí en construcción. Ojala algún día pudieras venir a Ciudad de México visitar Six Flags México y la Feria de Chapultepec. Saludos!!
Pronto mi amigo. El mes que viene
The video? Or the length of the model coaster track?
Muchas gracias! Yo soy un fan de México, me gusta viajar allí, aunque lo admito, sólo he viajado varias veces a Puerto Vallarta ... Voy a hacer estallar a Guadalajara para llegar a los parques allí y visitar a unos amigos. Es tan triste que he estado muchas veces, pero nunca se montó en una montaña rusa allí. ¿En qué estado vive usted? Paz (ah, y mi español es horrible, he usado Google Translate :))

Will this model be a real rollercoaster at Universal Studios Orlando
No. I do not design roller coasters for parks. These are just for fun. And no, parks are not going to buy my designs. ;)
how do you make your carts aka seats
why so short
i wanna see more
styrene plastic
how would someone go about making a copy of a wooden roller coaster ?
Eventually I hope to get a wooden model done using my Flat Track system. Probably won't be anytime soon. Have you visited the website, www.modelcoasters.com?
yes and i have to say that your work is incredible
Joseph Foster Thanks. I appreciate that.
Please see the tutorial on my channel.
