Title: Finally, LEGO Roller Coaster
Post by: Daragh on April 22, 2018, 05:27 pm
It looks like this is definitely going to happen. After all the rumours following Joker Manor it looks like we are going to get a decent roller coaster set. This shoots to the top of my wanted list :-)

Probably a very strange thing to notice first above all else but I love that the bee hive has been recolored to pink for the candyfloss!

Well spotted, I had not noticed that, I was looking at the track parts and what could be done with them for a large MOC. It seems there is another roller coaster on the way too. See: https://zusammengebaut.com/lego-creator-2018-sets-des-zweiten-halbjahres-48147/

It would be good to get more consistency on the track part colours though.

Any idea what those wind-up levers (middle bottom) might me for?

My guess is to allow the rollercoaster carts to be moved and pulled up the initial hill section then it will freefall down and around the rest of the track

As sweet as candyfloss sounds apparently Lego prefer to call it cotton candy.

Hmmm, after seeing the LEGO video for it and the price I have gone off it a bit, way too dear. High part count but a lot of them are going to be all the 2x2 white round bricks and the chain links. Also at that price you would think they would include the motor. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DqXfYlySdk

It's on my wishlist along with the Bugatti

That chiron is a bit too pricey I think.
Love the Rollercoaster, but would have nowhere to display it. Have a hard enough time trying to put my Death Star somewhere

Anyone think the candyfloss portion size is a bit over-the-top. Expect minifig waistlines to rise.
