For those of you that aren't familiar with Coaster Dynamix models, they are actually [I]working[/I] coaster models that you can buy and customize yourself. Though not cheap, it's really interesting to see what some people have created from this amazing product.

Oh holy crap, they're making a wooden Coaster Dynamix!

Sadly the wooden one isn't customizable like the steel version. I've wanted to pick one up, but I doubt I have the time or room for one now. Thats a sweet lookin Batman model though. Very nice.

If you look through that site, he also made a Raptor model too.

Those models are awesome. The only problem is that right now I don't have enough roon and money to get one.

im not at big of a fan of the raptor model just because it has minor discrepencies from the real ride.

^Yes, there are some minor "mistakes" in the Raptor model. However, they are there on puropse (I think that they explain them in the forums there somewhere).

Yeah, he explained the part after the first flat spin as being his personal vision. When someones making a model of a real coaster one of the things I look for is just how similar the ride is in all details to the actual ride.

I would definetely buy them, but they are WAY too expensive. And isn't that mirrored? B.c the drop on Batman the Ride (at GAdv) goes the other way.

Still the same thing, there are mirrored versions of the ride all over.

They're tiny models compared to the real rides, so they can't get the exact scale dimensions. The physics aren't the same.

I saw the Raptor model during CoasterCon. I have pictures and video of it. It was amazing.

no room for the wooden model? it is 10 inches by 16 inches, or at least something VERY close to 16, the 10 is for sure.

CD looks amazing. I have wanted one for a while but am not in the financial position o get one right now. Maybe later. That is a great recreation of B:TR.

Nice RT:B... Now all you need is the theming... which would be rediculously difficult and expensive.

St. Louis mirrored.

The models look neat but are they really worth it? The physics are way off and they just seem too much for what they are.

WOW i really want one of those. well christmas is coming i will see what i get!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing becuase the drop on SFMM batman also goes the other way to the model.

B:TR @ SFNO is a mirror as well. I'm even more impressed with the dive out of the helix and the super-sized corkscrew near the loop on the model. That model is a tighter, abbreviated fit than the real life version.
