Lego drop tower

A lot of these amusement rides are not interesting, but I thought the restraint and lift mechanisms were satisfying on this one

This is pure awesome, absolutely amazing details and function.

I subscribe to a few channels like this. I literally have a "LEGO closet." The problem is that I don't break sets. After spending $200-800, I build and then tear down to the bag numbers (usually 2-4). They used to be more proactive about the motors and technical stuff, but these days it's better covered by third parties. I'd love if they sold big generic Technic sets.

That looks amazing! I wish they would do more amusement type sets as they're some of my faves. (I did skip the Loop Coaster though, as it just looks dumb and unrealistic.)

As an aside, I'll probably be visiting my first Bricks N Minifigs store tomorrow in Orlando. Never set foot in one of these before so I'm curious as to what they have to offer.

The lift mechanism on the loop coaster is pretty brilliant. I don't think it looks dumb at all, and it's pretty tall! The problem with the Lego coaster cars is that they have really sloppy wheel contact, so they lose so much energy to friction.

The problem with my Lego coaster (the red and white one) is that our 23 lb cat Hobbes likes to sit inside of it. By any means necessary.

If I fits I sits.
