Matt, in case I haven't said this before, your roller coaster is amazing! I
have wanted to build something like this for a long time, and I know how
difficult it can be to get a complex mechanism to work reliably and still
maintain a realistic look and scale.
What amazes me even more is that you could even dream of parting with it. I
sincerely hope that you find a place to display this awesome creation if you do
not find a buyer for it. I would hate to think that such a cool model might be
dismantled for lack of a permanent home. Perhaps I will save up the funds that
I am not spending on new LEGO sets in order to buy it from you.
Also, very nice presentation on your web page! You've included some great
details about the project and its construction. Excellent photos as well. I
wonder if you have considered getting your hands on one of those wireless
pinhole cameras to get a minifig's-eye-view video of the ride...
- Chris.

(there is the possibility it could fly off and be damaged, though I have never had a minifigure physically damaged on (...) (20 years ago, 19-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)
