I love this!
Nice colors, funny faces of the riders and a good mix of Technic parts and
"normal" parts.
Maybe I have to get out my realy old LEGO train tracks and build a
rollercoaster track?
Not that I have been on a lot of amusment parks, we dont have any so far
north in this country (Tromsø, Norway). But I've seen a lot of pictures, and
with those in my mind and my crazy fantasy I maybe come up with something :)
Thats one thing I like about all you Technic fans, you put ideas in my head,
ideas that I can use to build things with my Technic parts.
Regards
