Thanks Mark, Here's a pic of the 360 degree roll, the first roller-coaster function that goes beyond the capabilities of the old monorail: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mbellis/Technic/Power-Functions/Roller-Coaster/360-roll/0_roller_coaster_360_seq6_qtr.jpg This is the whole rolling track: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mbellis/Technic/Power-Functions/Roller-Coaster/360-roll/roller_coaster_360_top_whole.jpg Gallery when moderated: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=237940 BTW if the whole gallery isn't available for a while, try replacing "seq6_qtr.jpg" with "seqX_top.jpg" where X is a number from 1 to 8 to see a few more shots of the roll sequence. I might make the roll a little less severe (it's currently as tight as the tracks will allow) and also modify the vehicle, to improve gravity-defying performance. It might also be good to combine a roll with a curve - some of the endless possibilities! I'll make a note to take some "how it's built" pictures, especially once all the ones I've posted already are visible. Mark

(...) This is very cool stuff, Mark! As a bit of a Lego roller coaster guru ((URL) I am impressed and am looking forward to someone developing this to its full potential - it looks like some very cool new things can now be modeled! -Matt :) (18 years ago, 13-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)
