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.

| | | 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.

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.

You really can't be too picky about the rides. 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.

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