Coaster Dynamics....NEW FORUM SPONSOR!!!

Welcome great products!!!!

Welcome!!! Those are some cool products! Are the roller coasters animated or static?

Welcome aboard Jack!

Welcome aboard, Jack. Our Cyclone coaster arrived in perfect condition and our visitors loved it at our Open House.

I stopped at their table at York. Very informative. Helped me out with various lighting tricks and offerings for both their products and those that could be applied to Lionel.

Excellent!  I purchased a coaster from them at York in April.   It's a great product and I'm 100% satisfied with the purchase.

Welcome aboard. I have the CYCLONE model on my layout and it is truly awesome!!!

Thanks guys! We are excited to be on here to bring exposure to our line and help our customers with any questions or concerns. All our models are fully operational and come hand built from our factory in Virginia. The rides we choose are relevant in both the contemporary and steam eras, thus making them at home in any layout. Glad to be aboard!!

Welcome. Coaster Dynamics coasters have been stars on our club's modular layout for years. These are always crowd favorites!

Unique models.

Okay, I just went to YouTube to see some videos of these in action. Holy cow!!! That is awesome!!!

Jack, we're glad to have you aboard!

Now...embed some of your YouTube videos here!

What a cool product!

I always liked your products. I would love to place one on my layout if you make one small enough.

In any case, thanks' for your support and I'm sure you will draw a lot of interest from these pages.

We have discussed making a smaller roller coaster model numerous times. It is difficult to fit enough track needed to make a realistic working model into a smaller space. However, we are working on it and may have a solution in the near future. Even a small model will consume a good bit of real estate. I know everyone has different requirements, but is there a size that we might shoot for?

The Turtle and Ferris Wheel are next on my list of purchases.  Do I have to order online or can I pick them up locally?  I believe you are in VA.  I travel through that area from time to time.

Either way is fine. Pickup is probably better because you don't risk shipping damage or incur shipping costs. Just let us know when you will be by and we will set them aside.

I was joking, but I'm really happy to read that you are thinking about it.

Here's a thought, how about a kiddie- ride model. Something a carnival would put up in a church parking lot. It could have no more then  a two foot by two foot layout, with the launch hump on one end that O Gauge people can walk under to get to the carnival tents in the center.

I think your ticket booth would be really cool as an entrance.

 

Jack,

Welcome aboard!  Now I've got to find a place to fit in one of your great products.  I second the comment made by GG! Man;  a Kiddie Ride with the launch hump being a pass-through for O gauge people would be great!

One idea I wanted to explore was a coaster that fit inside a standard O gauge starter set circle of track. I know that doesn't appeal to most of the readers on here, but I imagine there are a lot of starter sets sold by Lionel and MTH each year. Of course, it might interfere with the Christmas tree. Haha!

My daughter's favorite ride was always a kiddie coaster with a small hill and basic small oval track.  I have the cyclone and would be interested in small coaster to add to the layout. Also, a flat ride like the Music Express would be cool.  You could almost use a design that's similar to the turtle.  Keep up the great work!

The Little Dipper or Wild Mouse would be a nice small coaster.  

So what is a "reasonable" size for a small coaster? We thought of doing a Dragon Wagon which is a small steel kiddie coaster. Is that sufficient or does it need to be a full blown wooden coaster? It would be about 8" x18". 

Here is a picture:

That would be perfect and is exactly what I was thinking of.  

Wow! Welcome aboard!
