    Lego Roller Coaster (Create your own with interconnecting bricks and customizable trains!)

    created by RCcreator1 on 2012.02.11

    Main Section
    My Idea is a Lego Roller Coaster System that works with the regular minifigure scale. The idea is to create a track system where you put together the Roller Coaster piece by piece. For example, one brick of track has a standard 2X4X1 brick base. You then place another brick of track next to it and so on until you create a circuit for the Roller Coaster to follow. You then use Lego power functions or an NXT set to operate the ride with multiple trains that fit on the track. Also specially designed seats will hold all minifigures securely in the car. Inversions (loops), banked track, circles, lifts, drops, and other special elements will all be able to fit together. Like with everything in Lego, the possibilities are endless.
    I envision small sets with simple rollercoaster designs in them, and then add on packs and expansions with extra special elements.
    This is an original design idea I came up with after being a Roller Coaster enthusiast and a Lego builder for many years. I build amusement parks with my Lego sets but desperately need a Roller Coaster System!!!
    I tried to give Lego this idea years ago but now I have a way to do it. Please Support me and I promise that if this is passed it won’t disappoint.
    Thank you for your support, RCcreator1
    Please note these are draft one designs of the brick and are subject to change.
    Note: MORE TO COME! This is just the starting stage! Working on more detailed designs and track bricks. Also designing seats for the new custom train cars! Bookmark and check back later if not supporting now! Thanks!

    This is the end design. The holes for the technic pegs are clearly visable. This also shows the wheel assemblys fiitting snug with the rails. There is built in allowance to allow movement. The black track shows the flexability in track color and makes the wheel assembly stand out more.

    Wheel idea.. the red is the inside of the wheel, prob made of a slick rubber and then in the center will be metal axels like the lego train wheels for fast speeds. The inner grey portion is a grey technic peg, allowing for the rotation of the wheel assembly. (It goes around turns XD) All the wheels will be connected to one piece that you just attach to your custom train car!

    The pegs sticking out allow you to build your own custom train base! You can make it how ever long you want, while adding siding and front and back panels or themed elements.

    More to come!!! Like : Car/Train designs and minifigure seats, Chain lift up, In line twists, banked track, booster track, breaks, mindstorms/NXT built in ride sensor.
