As a kid I always wanted to build a huge LEGO technic rollercoasters, but I never had enough LEGO to try building one... until now.

After winning a large LEGO set in the eurobricks battle bot contest last year I decided that I now finally had enough LEGO to try building a rollercoaster, so I did!
I always try, but it's quite hard to be original since there's so many creative (AFOL)builders out there. But when I did some research and I found that no one had ever build a true rollercoaster scaled to accommodate technic figures I knew I found my challenge!
The main challenges of building one was the fact that there's no tracks made by LEGO to work on this scale.
I experimented with making tracks with various parts, but making curves never really worked like I wanted it to, and even a small radius turn took way to many parts.
And then it hit me... I don't NEED curved tracks! all I need is ways to make the cart change direction!
After that realization my brain exploded with fun and creative ways to do just that.
Not only does it take less parts because you can stay very compact, it's technically way more complex, interesting(to build), and more fun to watch.
The gopro ride was just to finish it all off, because who doesn't like to ride a rollercoaster !
This was my biggest MOC ever, and it took me extra long because I Had a "dark age" in the middel of the build, but in the end I'm extremely happy with the end result.
A special thanks goes out to koda and my girlfriend who supported me and allowed me to have this huge thing in the living room for quite a while...
Let me know what you guys think, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
