I am so impressed, I’ve gotten to see the ride in real life and this is literally the most realistic coaster model I have ever seen (this beats Coasterdynamix!) I’m gonna be thinking about this all day 😆
1. This deserves a 3D model simulation. 2. This deserves a line of modular toys with your name in it. 3. You deserve to study in an engineering prestigious university. I can't wait what you would do with 20 more years in this field.
Though I've worked with CoasterDynamix kits to make custom models for collectors, I've always wanted a working Arrow coaster. I've seen this in other videos and it's amazing how we now have 3D printing that allows us to create models like this that don't exist in kit form. Big fan of Arrow's huge catalog - they made theme parks possible. And love that you have Loch Ness colors on this. Fantastic job.
Very cool. I used to work on Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens back in the 80s and early 90s. That was a time period where we had the computer programming where each train could traverse the vertical loops simultaneously.
Oh neato! I'm sure it had it's good and bad days like any job, but what a fun inside look and perspective you must have about roller coasters from that then
Excellent job! Said it before. Worth saying it again. The trains are outstanding. The motion is smooth. Even sounds good. The POV is almost Arrow head banging goodness. You are up for a challenge? Plus the model with an anti roll back on the lift hill. Arrow's have that distinctive sound.
Great job! The POV is super smooth. We rode the real Loch Ness Monster in Busch Gardens 31 times in a row one Summer. I guess it was too hot to be crowded so they let us stay on.
Thanks, appreciate it! I'm considering doing a tutorial but not for a little while as the trains are a bit more complicated than they may look. I am planning on sharing how I made the rails as the tubing can also be used for Knex, so hopefully that will be able to give you some insight.
Hi, this is totally cool!! What did you use as the thick yellow tube to form a base of the most of the track? I have been looking for some materials with the right properties (cold(?) bendable, tough) but have not come to a good solution yet. I know that PTFE for the rails seem to be a way to go... Thanks!
Ah, I see below... polyethylene tubing - does it bend cold or you heat it to form to shape (it does not look like that as the bends look extremely smooth)? Which brand? There seem to be quite some flavors, not all of them may be suitable...
Hey there, yep, I used polyethylene tubing for the spine (1/2 inch diameter) and the rails (1/4 inch diameter). I purchased the colorful tubing off Ebay and don't remember the brand, but since it is a construction/general home product I imagine the brand doesn't matter much. Though the tubing is flexible it come in rolls and will naturally want to stay in that position, so it's best to allow the tubing to not be bent the opposite direction for smooth tubing pieces. I imagine heat would help to make it more flexible, but it is generally pretty flexible and not necessary. If you'd also like an idea on how to "slice" the tubing for the rails, feel free to check out a "slicer" we made to cut the rails (www.thingiverse.com/thing:6028353). Have a good one!
“Hello everyone, this is YOUR daily dose of internet” just waiting to see if he will show your videos on his channel too! Lmao Incredible work! New subscriber
Haha, thanks! Yea I sent him one of my video's a couple months back but it may have not interested him or he's just saving it for later. I guess we'll see!
I want to make a working model of Disney’s Thunder Mountain Railroad... not a lot of info out there on model rollercoasters... thanks for this video, this is amazing!
Great video! Just a thought - what if you got a very small lightweight camera on a gimbal (something like the gimbal and camera small drones use) and stuck that on the front of the train? There was just something about that first person shot on a mini rollercoaster track that was so intriguing, I would love to see it stabilized and clear.
Is this an actual model or did you make it yourself? Looks very impressive. I've owned a model roller coaster for a discount of $300 and according to the condition it's in right now, doesn't look like it'll work anymore
Very cool! Love the green lochness train. Anyways I was just wondering. My only problem with these model coasters is that they look like they are in fast motion compared to a full size one. Would there be any way of using some sort of fly wheel type thing on these trains to keep them slower? Been awhile since I studied classical mechanics, just a thought lol
Thanks! That's a good idea and I'll have to think about it. I'd wager since these trains are quite small it would be hard to do and keep enough energy stored up to make it around the track as you'd now be loosing more friction from a more secure connection between the track and rails, but yea, I'll think about that....
Man, this is so epic. If I had lived closer, I would have asked you if I could come and see it! Amazing job.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Always enjoyed showing people it!
What if you lived right next door
@@3dcoaster lol its not very accurate
@@billybobbob3003 accurate to what?
It looks smoother than most Chinese knock of roller coasters.
Is that good or bad?
@@Fordexplorer-ly4vd Good, especially since this one was built out of a plastic toy and real rollercoasters cost millions.
@@Fordexplorer-ly4vd idk it depends
Yes Togo make horrible coasters
Great video!
Thanks!

As a Hampton Roads Local who has been riding Loch Ness for over half of my life, this is awesome!

I can't wait what you would do with 20 more years in this field.
Ahh this is so amazing!! Loch Ness is my absolute favorite at Busch gardens! I just know Busch gardens and the coaster enthusiasts would be amazed!
"Loch Ness Looper looks too intense for me." -- Awesome work! Very cool!
Haha, thanks!
What a masterpiece and a beautiful build too. Thanks for posting this as well. Have a nice day.
This is amazing, Nessy is one of my favorite coasters.
same
Really great work. This guy is the Bob Ross of model coasters! And ceramics!!!!
The modular 3D printed track is very interesting! I’m a big arrow fan, it’s nice to finally see these rides in model form Lol :)
The coaster sound of it on the tracks is so cool. Almost like sand in the wind.
Incredible! I love the section that goes under the table. 👏🏻
Really beautiful design and I am jealous.
Thanks, appreciate it!
What a beautiful creation! Thanks for showing the different points of view! How inspiring!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Dude I could watch this all day, it’s so satisfying. Well done

Oh wow, thanks for the kind words! Yes, Arrow is awesome and easily one of my favorite manufacturers! Glad to hear of another Arrow enthusiasts!

Wow, this is incredible! It looks like a really smooth ride!
Saw this on Reddit! Keep up the awesome work and videos!
Wow I really love these videos, this is so soothing. Keep up the good work!!!
This is really cool, I can't wait to see what project you will do next!
Wooah this was too cool! Just watched all your vids, I hope you'll be showing us more projects!! :D
Wow Awesome build. I'd love to have this on my G scale layout 😎👍
Outstanding work! Looking forward to seeing more B)
That is so cool!! Can't wait for the next project!
Thanks, appreciate it!
This is amazing and i dont think i could do that ever in my life
Great job! The POV is super smooth.
We rode the real Loch Ness Monster in Busch Gardens 31 times in a row one Summer. I guess it was too hot to be crowded so they let us stay on.
Thanks and wow, that's a bunch of times!
You are my new hero! keep on the good work!
Wow, congratulations dude that's incredible! Would love to see how you made the trains and track, absolutely amazing work.
Thanks, appreciate it! I'm considering doing a tutorial but not for a little while as the trains are a bit more complicated than they may look. I am planning on sharing how I made the rails as the tubing can also be used for Knex, so hopefully that will be able to give you some insight.
Really good work. Impressive! I enjoyed the first person view :D
Woooooooow! Man, you are awesome! 👏👏👏
I love how the cars look just like Loch Ness Monsters’ cars at bgw :)
The corkscrew nailed it for me.
This is beautiful! Well done

That's so cool! I wish I had that.
Very smooth
I'm your 300th subscriber! Nice channel!
Heyo, thanks for subscribing! 300!
such a cool model!
Great work !!! Keep it up awesome Video
i love this rollercoaster its a 10/10 i kinda got scared but not as much
So amazing!!! 👍👍👍
Great work - you have inspired me to give it a go!
Thanks and that's great to hear!
fantastic model and a great video to
Dude you are great! Post more videos!
Amazing work man. Keep going on with this creative stuff :)
First person was awesome!
wow, its soo fast ! respect . !!!
This is sick! Wow!
Dang that helix is insane! That would have pulled a lot of positive g's Lol
No kidding, probably would be a bit much in real life, hehe
Congratulations! It looks great. Shared onto our Facebook page. So what's next?!
Hey thanks! The next project might be Arrow or S&S related...mmh....
This is actually cool
This is awesome!!
Thanks!
I WANT 1 THIS LOOKS SOOOOO GOOD!!!!
Outstanding
POV for the win!
I love it :D
I want to make a working model of Disney’s Thunder Mountain Railroad... not a lot of info out there on model rollercoasters... thanks for this video, this is amazing!
Awesome job impressed
Thanks, I appreciate it!
That's amazing!
i love it :)
that was sick bro this needs more views
Haha, thanks appreciate it!
I would love to go on that that should be in a THEME PARK!
It is, bruh
Awesome job!
Amazing!
A Vekoma Boomerang would be cool to see. Anyways nice video. 👍
that would be amazing in Virtual reality
I would put on longer trains to make it more like an old arrow. Still, this is amazing!
I live 5 minutes from the real coaster of this. Loch ness at bush gardens 👐 Fun fun fun to ride!
Nice, yea It's a great one!
Great video! Just a thought - what if you got a very small lightweight camera on a gimbal (something like the gimbal and camera small drones use) and stuck that on the front of the train? There was just something about that first person shot on a mini rollercoaster track that was so intriguing, I would love to see it stabilized and clear.
Have you thought about trying to get accelerometer readings to figure out if there are any jerky areas and wither it'd scale up?
You can ride the real version of this coaster at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA!
Aero works exact design! Wow
Awesome model! I was curious, how do you cut the slit in the tubing or is it possible to order the tubing like that?
Thanks, I appreciate that! Unfortunately you can't buy the tubing this way and a tool was made to cut a slit in the tubing.
It's so amazing ❤❤❤🙌
Delicious.
it's perfect!!! i love it
The trains look so real like the vekoma trains or arrow.
Awesome! What’s the thing you used to power the chainlift?
Did you find the 3D printing template on the internet or did you make it yourself? because the roller coaster trains look amazing
Just wow
You made those cars?? That's amazing!
This is epic and I want one but those don't look like Ron tommer transitions lol also the magnet on the chain to catch the train is genius
Haha, thanks! The chain lift/magnet took a lot of tweaking to get right, glad you like it!
Get this man a engineering job
Are you able to put a go pro camera on one of the cars?
RESPECT
wow this is so cool🤩
perrfect momentum
Is there any chance you can get the links for me in the description because I would love to make this
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, this is amazing! Maybe you could build a station in the straight piece after the tunnel?
Thanks. Yea, I bet I could fit a station there, good suggestion!
I love it
Still smoother than Arrow Development.
Is this an actual model or did you make it yourself? Looks very impressive. I've owned a model roller coaster for a discount of $300 and according to the condition it's in right now, doesn't look like it'll work anymore
Smoother than a slc
Haha, I'd hope so!

Hi ! I would like to create a roller coaster like yours too, what kind of plastic tube did you use?
thanks
holy that's bigger then I thought
