LEGO builders may be interested in a new rollercoaster construction kit specifically designed to be LEGO compatible and provide everything you need to create your own sidewinder rollercoaster using over 700 pieces. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the LEGO rollercoaster kit created by Coaster Dynamix.
Features and Specifications
The kit is now available from $119 or roughly £93 and will hopefully be delivered sometime around April 2019. “The Sidewinder is a Lego compatible looping roller coaster construction toy. Following in the footsteps of the wildly successful CDX Cyclone, the Sidewinder shares the same track system and train design, but adds many new building block elements that mimic the style of modern looping roller coasters. The result is a model that is easy to assemble and fun to customize. Multiple kit rewards encourage the user to build larger, more elaborate custom designs. The possibilities are endless!”
The Sidewinder kit includes over 700 pieces, which allows for a high degree of customization and creativity. The track system is designed to be flexible, enabling builders to create a variety of loops, twists, and turns. The train design is also highly detailed, featuring realistic cars that can navigate the complex track layouts smoothly. The kit also includes special elements such as support beams and connectors that add to the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the rollercoaster.
Customization and Expansion
One of the standout features of the Sidewinder kit is its compatibility with existing LEGO sets. This means that builders can integrate the rollercoaster into their existing LEGO cities or theme parks, adding a dynamic and exciting element to their creations. The kit’s modular design also allows for easy expansion. Builders can purchase additional kits or individual track pieces to create even larger and more intricate rollercoasters.
For example, you could start with a basic loop and gradually expand your design to include multiple loops, corkscrews, and even vertical drops. The flexibility of the track system means that the only limit is your imagination. Additionally, the kit comes with detailed instructions that guide you through the initial build, but also encourages you to experiment and create your own unique designs.
Community and Support
The Sidewinder kit has garnered significant interest from the LEGO community, and there are already numerous online forums and social media groups where builders can share their creations, tips, and modifications. This community aspect adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the building process, as you can get inspiration from others and showcase your own designs.
Coaster Dynamix, the creators of the Sidewinder kit, are also very active in engaging with their backers and customers. They provide regular updates on the progress of the kit, offer troubleshooting advice, and even run contests and challenges to keep the community engaged. This level of support ensures that you will have a positive building experience and can get the most out of your Sidewinder kit.
