LEGO LOOP COASTER

[@Blazinboi2718]

I like that 2022 lego roller coaster set, and that was a cool placement for your roller coaster

[@TandNBricks]

This has got to be the coolest combo for an amusement park ever!

[@calvinw2104]

LOVE how the Monorail goes through the loop. Under no circumstance should you change that haha

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

Great video, best part about all of this is you do this with your son, cherish all the moments, keep making the memories together. From a father that lost his boy, memories are priceless. New subscriber. 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦 CGP

[@alexnunes]

Thank you, and very sorry for your loss. I do my best to involve my boys as much as I can in the hobby and I do cherish it.

[@dmonsef]

I still like this coaster despite the overpricing of it. I would be curious to see if someone mods it to make the track longer and also mods it to give it an exit separate from the entrance.

[@robertsullivan3877]

We have accomplished that! It works,too. Three extra sets of cars,double the track,one more complete loop, VIP separate entrance. It works. On three extra large Grey baseplate s. New name," Loop De Loop"!

[@topphatt1312]

The price of this set modded my parents relation ship to make my mom separate from my dad

[@slim3_v42]

Tbh it might seem overpriced but its not really i dont regret buying it at all but its not for everyone its 36 inches by 34 inches making it a massive set

[@TheGuyFromUtah]

I ordered this set and I’m going to make an exit platform with stairs the exit the ride to make it more realistic

That airport shuttle/monorail makes me drool. What I wouldn’t give for that. I had the two space monorails back in the 90s - the Futuron and Unitron… but my mom gave them away 😢

[@BrooksBricks]

That Loop Coaster / monorail combination is incredible! I absolutely love that! The set looks amazing, and the scale in context of the entire city and room definitely shows how imposing it is. Wow!

[@brickartisan]

That looks great especially with the train! Perfect placement 😊

[@imaginationsquare]

Thank god finally someone who mentions this thing doesn't have an exit! I'll just see if I can add a second staircase where the ladybug is settled curently

[@LegoSonicBoy]

Nice work! You just increased your Loop Coaster's excitement rating by running the Airport Shuttle through it.

[@The_Great_Jimbob]

I Love how part of the way thru Jimmy disappears and Ironman just starts hanging out in the background.

[@Mike__B]

My thought about that loud crash of the lift, either add a bit more counter weight, or change something about the landing spot my initial thought is if you can pull out a thin brick worth of material (or more) you could put in a piece of foam or some double sided foam tape that might lessen that impact. The later idea not sure if that's "kosher" for lego builds to put in non-lego stuff

[@timminator555]

You could also use the rubber technic pieces.

[@brictronic]

The extra weight on the counterweight worked for me. It's not just the crashing into the car loading area that there's a problem. The counterweight actually keeps crashing into the top of the structure and ends up breaking it apart over time. It's a poor design for the price.

[@Bengraziano]

They should have added something to slow the descent of the lift. The haunted house from a couple years ago has a simple flywheel mechanism that would work well here.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Yer Manny have seed that. Or it need rubber Lego parts under that part that drops. To take away the crashing bang sound ....

[@robertsullivan3877]

@@countrabricksbuildcraze8916 tires on the bottom make a difference. I used small airplane tires.

[@brictronic]

I thought the same when I built it but I added more weight to the counterweight and it seems to have worked.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

@@robertsullivan3877 😊👍 yes thats it

[@KaiserCoaster]

I had a lot of issues trying to get mine to run consistently with a motor, between it either getting caught entering or leaving the elevator. Basically all stemming from inconsistency in how long it takes the elevator to drop back down. Sometimes it's too slow, sometimes it's just right, sometimes it's too fast and bounces on the bottom, causing the train to get stabbed by the spike that is supposed to keep it in the station. Also had problems with the bottom gear slipping on the chain, but I took out a chain link and that's now perfect. Eventually I guess it has just fixed itself and works pretty smoothly on the motor, but there's still a constant risk of catastrophic failure when sometime does get stuck or even lightly graze another piece.

[@bricklover2258]

2 generations of lego going through the amusement park. Love it. I am thinking of reworking my amusement park today or soon if I get time since I just can't settle on a size.

[@ZebbyBricks]

How cool, with the Airport train going through the loop!!

Reminds me of Montezoomas revenge at Knotts

I love that ride!

Well done Jimmy 😂 👏👍

[@Zabadak]

Fantastic 👊👁👁👍 you showed us the Loopcoaster this way. Great close ups 📸. Very nice details and minifigures in this set. And that train driving through the loopcircle .So close 😱. And Jimmy did a good job, helping you

[@DmytroKarataiev]

Very nice setup with the train

[@timminator555]

I also got the coaster and I noticed that the two supports (not the lift) on the side of the station are one stud further away from the station than the other two.

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.

[@chrisbond24]

It looks nice. You can always add exit to roller coaster

[@LittleBinsandBricks]

Incredible! Great placement.

[@Robbie_Hildebrand]

Great video! Love the Airport Shuttle going through the loop. Like it was meant to be!

[@TheOtherGuys2]

Wait, Lego prices are going up even higher? Huh... Well, I guess I'll be getting my Lego by deal hunting for second hand stuff. Not that it changes much: most Lego sets seem to be way out of my range already. That is pretty cool though, that the loop goes right around the shuttle track. I like that. :D

4:23 you put your very left monitor sticker (the one with the phone) upside down, just so you know ;) Great vid for the rest, I love how it goes through the loops

[@BrickLifeTravels]

Big fan of this coaster but the placement of yours is epic!

[@BinkBricks]

I love your reviews and this one was no exception. I love how you show the set in your city and make everything look so cool. However I'm not sure if I would want to be on that roller coaster in your city especially with that airport shuttle.

[@ThrowToTheWolves]

7:55 Fun fact: The whole track of the coaster spells 'Loop' when completed.

[@claudioctc]

Impressive. I didn't notice it!

[@Scotts_Blocks]

Wow the monorail through the loop is amazing

[@BrickHQ]

This set is amazing with cool functions. The set should be $350, and the track is kinda short. Otherwise not really any complaints. There's some storytelling with the squirrel and hot dog and the no squirrels and no hot dog signs. Maybe the squirrel is a flying squirrel and that's how it got in the picture? Combining the loop coaster with the airport shuttle makes it even more exciting. That gap is very small, and I would not feel safe on there. 😄

[@BinkBricks]

Agree on the price, it's $600 AUD which does feel slightly overpriced and should be $500 AUD which was the same as the last one because of inflation since 2018.

[@V33-f5c]

@@BinkBricks Wow, looking at these prices it's crazy. I think it might be the additional taxes and currency strength for different countries. Like in Singapore where i am located, i just bought this set last night for $398 bucks. Waiting for it to arrive! Awesome guys.

[@kleinemonnik]

"Who rides a rollercoaster with a hotdog, especially one that goes upside down." Not a hotdog, but I remember that in my 20's I had lunch (sandwiches, drinks) inside a rollercoaster that goes upside down. No hotdog though.

[@legod1717]

Great video! Mine comes on Tuesday and I’m considering putting my monorail through it as well. We’ll see. I agree that the price is a little high for what you get. I think the cost is result of the impending price hike. Too bad they didn’t sell it at $350 now and increase it to $400 in September.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Thers a rubber 😊Lego part you could get a few of them an put onto a tectonic beam to stop the banging sound as the lift hit the bottom. Alix.

[@robertsullivan3877]

Something to consider, if you buy two of these new Rollercoaster sets and use the track from the second set, and the cars, you can get more exciting drama.Also use three Grey full size baseplates.

Put the counter weight a little higher on the track and adjust the height of it until it’s the most quiet and add black plates to the counterweight to make I It more balances

Definitly a cool set! The good side is that a discount of just 10% means saving 40€. Guess, I would wait a while - must difficult for me would be finding a space for such a large set.

Bravo cette vidéo est un incroyable 👍👍

[@welcomestranger]

That's a pretty hard carriage return. There should be some wheels or rubber stops to soften the impact.

Very cool with how it lines up with the monorail! Poor Garmadon is probably not allowed on the coaster, lol.

Good afternoon! In this video, we really liked how you automated the manual roller coaster. Please tell me with what and how this is possible, I will be very grateful. Thank you!

In this video I am using an old technic motor and a 9v train speed regulator. It's not a common combination. A more popular method would be to use Power Functions. All you need is a motor and battery box. Hope that helps.

Hey Alex, thank you so much for testing with the airport shuttle. I wasn’t sure if it would fit when I made the suggestion a few weeks ago, but it looks so cool 👍👍 Would any extra weight on the counterbalance help to soften the blow?

yes but it will slow down the return if your using a motor..

[@brickallegiance7424]

what chains or mechanisms that the free fall haunted house has would you be able to integrate that into this coaster just a thought if you haven't done this yet awesome set will be getting it myself and thank you for your video very much enjoyed again thanks. later

[@benjaminstorace6699]

While the new Lego rollercoaster stuff, and this in particular is quite good, the old K'nex tube track rollercoasters still hold the gold for construcible toy rollercoasters. This definitely proves to be a contender for the silver alongside the K'nex wire track rollercoaster, possibly beating it out with the lack of good car design on K'nex's side. Interestingly, though K'nex, even while OOP, beats this on cost, it cannot compare on compactness, which may make the difference in many people's eyes.

[@VXRHSV]

You need to add some extra weight to the drop weight otherwise with it banging at the top it will loosen the mechanism at the top. Also better off with 221 not 222 small chain links.

[@vonfragyou]

Super cool review, you showed a couple of things I was thinking about. Its so fast that it probably needs to be extended. Wonder if there is away to combine the two roller coaster sets into one?

[@RebelliousRobot]

Maybe those rubber axle connectors to cushion the fall.

[@pieku]

Despite the pricing, I like how they included extra straight track for the counterweight and curved tracks for the roof. I imagine this could be rebuilt with endless possibilities using the extra track pieces.

[@nilsnyman6767]

I love it...just too dang big!

[@Mightion]

I think you might have made a mistake with the braking wheel (just before the station); if the crank isn’t being turned when the train hits that wheel, it’s supposed to stop the train right there and keep it from going into the station. Yours doesn’t seem to be doing that function. I loved the time lapse, though… it took me 4 nights to build mine, but I was in no hurry. 😀

[@Mardigrasman23]

That’s pretty slick. I love up. If safety guys disapproves. Get another safety guy.

[@Thrillmaster100]

The counterweight is also there so the track doesn't fall as fast so be grateful because without that counterweight, that thing would shatter on impact when it comes down.

[@dmonsef]

I'm with Alex that I would be a tad concerned about the thud when it drops. If possible you either have to add more weight to the counter-weight or place some thin foam padding underneath where the lift-track piece lands.

[@toasterreal]

Can you please activate every single motor powered area

[@alexnunes]

Once I get this all back together I will definitely do that.

[@queencitybricks]

I think the Lopp Coaster Price was a victim of the price hike right before it released

[@calvinw2104]

Yeah I believe it was as well. Rumors was this set number were going to be $350 USD. The $50 price bump seems in line with the increases for the bigger sets. Absolutely not cool in my opinion. $50 is too much of an increase for this set.

Have you tried adding more weight to the counter weight to see if that helps the elevator drop slower?

[@alexnunes]

Not yet, but I may need to give that a try. Thanks.

[@brictronic]

That's exactly what I did. I tried a few things but the extra weight worked. Without it, the counterweight was crashing into the top structure and breaking the coaster apart.

[@brictronic]

Great video, as usual! I added bricks to the counterweight to soften that drop. It's a poor design, ends up breaking the coaster apart over not many use cycles. I think Mark and Boon's coaster was actually better!

Question. How do you clean all of your lego sets? Also how do you keep them organised if you do have a large table to put them on. Because I have so many lego sets and they need to be cleaned and organised!!

[@alexnunes]

I dust them regularly. There's no easy way around it. Brushes, vacuums, and dusters all work well. I am not sure what you mean by organized. It is always a challenge to fit everything, but that's also part of the fun for me.

[@rikallibone]

I added 12g to the counter weight. This is equivalent to a single AAA battery (which is how I tested it). I then added lego bricks of 12g. The result is a very slow smooth decent. So much better

Nice, thanks for that information. Very helpful.
