Atlas: A CD coaster! 6/12

Some of you are familiar with the famous Coaster Dynamix system. Known for their Scorpion. Well I am a proud owner of one and after three months of my scorpion sitting around I decided to make this. Atlas is a cheap yet fun layout to make and watch. Usually people really kit-bash these and make RC launches but me being impatient and low on money made a rubber band launch! Pics follow and also there is a video. While I have the layout and track done, I am creating a generic station that I can use for many models.

So here are the pics!

















And now a video!

Great looking execution. I like how the train would level out on the top to take a dive. The one true inversion pops up later in the course.

Very nice. I was surprised that the train ran the course so well.

Looks good, though the launch seems a little fast than needed. Do Coaster Dynamix sets cost much?And were do you get them?
