Build your own Demon Drop!

http://www.rokenbok.com/video-center/rokenbok-demon-drop-ride

Rokenbok (I believe that's German for "whoha, this plastic toy is expensive"), is now selling their own version of a erector set like kit that you can build and operate just like the one that used to be at Cedar Point!

Holy crap, that is awesome. But probably VERY expensive.

It's not a kit.

It's just what someone built by combining parts from several different kits.

Even if it was built out of a combination of parts from various kits - it is very realistic. Right down to the little maintenance men that are needed by the control panel to keep it running.

Even CP used components from other (now defunct) rides as spare parts, which is what makes the whole idea even that more realistic!

It's definitely impressive.

But it's not something you could go on the Rokenbok site and buy as a kit.

I liked the Lego version better that someone else built years ago.

Did he record the sound of a metal trash can full of ball bearings falling down a flight of stairs to replicate Demon Drop's soundtrack?

I would take the idea one step further and use all the boxes from the various kits to assemble a lifelike version of Disaster Transport.

All you would need extra is a magic marker to write 12E on the outside!

Some company that makes hamster cages should pick up on the concept - they would sell a ton of them.

I think it's great that LEGO can make a smoother running tower ride than Intamin. ;)

I own A LOT of this toy, but never tried to make an amusement park ride. I like the idea of what they did, but we can take it further. Power Tower, anyone?
