This is a LEGO Moving Minifig Machine Module of the attractions "Roller Coaster" and "Loop the Loop" from the video game "Theme Park" by Bullfrog Productions.
With all of the great LEGO roller coasters there are on KZhead, I wanted to create something unique. It has taken me half a year to get from the initial idea to what you see at the end of this video.
The roller coaster is powered by a LEGO Spike Prime hub running python using Pybricks. It uses a sensor from LEGO Boost to show when it can be activated (green light) and is activated by waving in front of the sensor. Two distance sensors from WeDo 2.0 are used to detect the trains.

at the beginning i didnt think too much of the video until i realised it was just a testing phase, the endresult is really great! maybe some trees and plants to make it even more complete.
Thanks. And yes. I will definitely have to build more of the trees from the game.
I agree I was really confused until I saw the end
The beginning was satisfying

The video is exactly showing the try and error building process from start to perfection. Using programming to run the coaster is the logic step for optimizing power consumption etc. Your building skills are amazing! I so much like the way how you use the 16x16 plates grid for the base and putting everything on supports. Also the way you channel the chain through the tracksupports and the toothweel mechanisms for the chain is fantastic. All is so inspiring, this video is also like a tutorial on how to build a coaster, cant wait to see more!
Thanks. I am considering making a "non-fun" video where I go into detail for all of the mechanical and programming choices. There is a lot to cover, and not all of it was possible to include in the style of this video.

The lady that got injured is so funny 😹 it’s so random I love it 😻
9:29 RIP LEGO lady… ‘low overhead clearance’ 😝 love the medic scene. Nice touch. 👍
Final destination 3 tribute.
Is she okay?
I laughed out loud when you send out the stretcher! 9:30
Why is it so satisfying to watch someone start with a basic roller coaster and then slowly just add and make it better and better
I know you're trying to recreate Theme Park, but watching you piece this coaster together bit by bit and testing as you went gave me strong Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 vibes. Really enjoyable and interesting visualisation of your thought process!
An engineer, mathematician and coder all in one WOW!!
What a masterpiece of architecture, engineering, coding, and physics! I really like how you got the coasters in sync within the loop intersection. Brilliant work, as well as pure engineering artistry!
Him while building this: "Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make"
Then again, the 2 loops at the same time must have taken SOO much coordination. I love the touches at the end to make the whole thing look pretty.
Glad LEGO is bringing out more track elements. On the plus side it’s relatively easy to prototype layouts until you get what you want. But it also really show the limitations of the train design. I hope LEGO update it replacing the up-stop pads with up-stop wheels. Until then, I’ll stick to building coasters with the CDX Blocks track and train system.
Watching you build this I hope lego make some new track pieces in the future. Don’t get me wrong the current library is pretty great but having rails that twist into curves to keep more momentum or some barrel roll pieces to make straights more exciting would be pretty great
Agreed. I would love to have elements allowing you to build a corkscrew.
@@LasseDeleuranyes, I’m with you there. I highly doubt they’d go as far as a whole extra set of banks and curves, but a nice big Corkscrew could be achieved flat-to-flat with 4 identical pieces, which coincidentally would allow orientation change to sideways or inverted for those who want to get wacky.
@@LasseDeleuranyou'll have to see if there is unofficial custom tracks that will work with the official lego tracks.
I’m just sitting here with my mouth open in awe bc holy cow that’s my dream👏 👏
Incredible MOC Coaster. Nice I love how you first built a test object with all kinds of stones and then adjusted everything.
Really like this whole video. The concept, the design, the testing, the build, the polishing, & the completed project.
thats awesome...love that you timed the interlocking loops....maybe you can reprogram Loch Nes Monster when she reopens!
As a coaster lover and someone who spends entirely too much time building coasters this is really fun to watch. The progression, the vision, the scope and scale. Very fun very impressive shout out to that Loch Ness loop you built fantastic
THAT is a lot of planning! Not in a million years would I be able to come up with half of that. 😮
You’ve almost built a real roller coaster from Busch gardens Williamsburg in VA named Loch Ness monster good job on this project
Idea time! Recreate that ride with LEGO. Interlocking loops, 990 degree helix, 2 chain lifts, large drop, probably the easiest looping coaster to recreate with LEGO
Yeah, even the same track color
I worked at a roller coaster park with a dual corkscrew, and our sister park has a dual loop. When the final product showed at the end, my jaw dropped because it looks so accurate to the coasters I worked with. That dual loop is so satisfying. Excellent job!!!
Absolutely brilliant design and build. From the testing to the final product, it worked really well.
The video editing you've done is amazing, Lasse! I also enjoyed seeing the python code. As someone starting out combining LEGO with sensors, this is really inspiring. Can't wait to see your next build.
Awesome. Reminds me of the Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg!
Testing this roller coaster: "The killbots had a built-in kill limit, so I sent wave after wave of my own men at them..."
Very underrated! Great roller coaster. Honestly it’s one of the best roller coasters that uses the track peices. And just the overall look of the finished build looks like a real roller coaster. Also love the scene where the doctors pick up the lady
Thru.
Well done, good to see the build from concept to finish. I feel liek too many Lego creators just post their awesome builds and don't show the amount of testing and tweaking it took to make it all work.
😮 Vous êtes à la fois un grand malade (dans le bon sens du terme) et un génie ! Et je n'imagine pas la patience qu'il a fallu pour construire ce roller coster et le filmer et monter la vidéo... RESPECT !
This is so fascinating, seeing the different stages, errors, corrections and even little gags like the minifig being carried away on a stretcher… You‘ve built something truly amazing. Thanks a lot for documenting and sharing!
I love seeing the iterative design process, its so cool. watching you find issues in real time and fixing them, all conveying your thought process with it, all without saying a word is sick
I cannot express how much joy and astonishment this video brought to me. Thank you!
I love the interlocking loops! I hope to get my first ride on Nessie when it reopens next year!
I love the interlocking loops and the way you timed it so they always go at the same time!!
there used to be a coaster like that Loch Ness Monster at busch gardens williamsburg used to time the trains to duel in the loops but nowadays they don't do that anymore
This roller coaster is amazing, wish there was a camera you could buy that’s the same size and weight of a minifig so there could be an fpv run of the whole coaster. Or better yet a real version of this roller coaster, the spot where the tracks loop over each other is the perfect spot for a photo
Half the fun of playing Theme Park back in the day was building a coaster so violent that half the peeps would fly off before the end of the ride and they would land unscathed (but upset) - was hoping to see some minifigs fly off with those tight vertical loops and sharp unbanked turns. Definitely get vibes of Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
This is such an underrated video, the editing and the build itself were so high quality.
Once you got to the river and the line it reminded me soooo much of classic roller coaster tycoon
1- Awesome build, great idea and super fun result. 2- Awesome video, so cool to include all the small tweaks and tries, though it scares me how long it took you to cut all those little clips...
An interlocking Lego Roller Coaster - Talk about building your own Bloch Ness Monster - I love that the tracks are yellow, too!
Love love love and i cackled when ems picked the person up on the stretcher 😂❤
Awesome project! One idea I have is to adjust the code and add a few more sensors so you could try and do what twisted colossus at six flags magic mountain does, where one of the trains will “creep” up the lift hill at a slow speed waiting for the other to catch up to it, and then once the trains are in sync the lift hills pick up the pace to make sure they go down the drop at the same time! It would be a bit more realistic than the trains stopping at the top of the hill and I think it would make a nice effect!
Alot of things went wrong… Yet this guy has the DETERMINATION to fix those things and make the best Lego coaster ever. Its truly fanicinating 0-0
just realised just how long the video was xD; i could honestly watch hours of this, especially if it's edited like it was, with the shorter clips.. i honestly had no idea lego could be used this way lol

Love to see the itoration process. Also, there is just something magical about long and complex roller coasters.
This is such a great build. I love the retro feel despite using newer parts
Absolutely love that you show the process all the way through. Seeing the "mistakes" and how you overcome them is incredible. Very educational and fun!
the patience this man has is outstanding..
In Brazilian Portuguese we call roller coaster "montanha russa" (Russian mountain), because its first kind was a Russian amusement that people sat on logs that were sliding in ice mounts or mountains.
That was so satisfying when the two cars went out the loops together. fantastic building!
So cool! This looked like a fun one to problem solve and so satisfying once it worked
POV: you’re in Minecraft creative mode and you discover redstone dust and rails
Nicely done on that roller coaster of yours, I don’t think I can build something like this. This is awesome!!!!
Is nobody gonna talk about how they carried the Lego man on a stretcher away?? 9:42 😂
My goal is to build a subscriber base that mirrors the success of this channel.
The yellow supports look like corn on the cob ! Very impressive build.
this is taking roller coaster tycoon into the lego world. lots of good work. PROUD OF YOU!
this would be a fun coaster. reminds me of the racer at Kennywood.
nice design. if possible id change out some of the flat cornes with banked ones (staright track with angled mounting brackets) a heat gun works well to bend tracks to desired shape.... tho some methods are quite illigal
Wow, this reminds me of making countless of theme-park rides in minecraft!
WONDERFUL! Especially the loops... And everything else!
The use of ball joints and multiple points of contact for the scaffolding/supports is so ingenious. I know that's how supports are done but conceptually it's just so elegant in lego too. This is of course one engineering feat among several on display here. Absolutely inspiring.
That one unemployed friend on a Tuesday afternoon: (Gotta say this before I start a riot: this video is amazing, and I’m saying this with admiration, not disrespect)
The interlocking loop reminds me of The Loch Ness Monster coaster😊
Reminds me a lot of Loch ness monster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg because of the interlocking vertical loops
That is so amazing and I wish I could build one like that. But I'd like to see how to build a wild mouse type coaster.
First, awesome everything. Quick question, how did you make the fish in the water? Hopefully, I'm not revealing too much of my ignorance. Thanks
The new RCT looks fire
An amazing job all around - and you want to send this video the the fine people at Two Point Studios in the UK - as they are the company that has the same team who did Theme Park in it! (Mark Webbely, for example, is the creator of Theme Park - and now the head of Two Point Studios!)
9:41 LOL that's some good humor!
the sync'd interlocking loops reminds me of loch ness monster at busch gardens willamsburg
Awesome work! I really like being able to watch your thinking process. Feels like how lego should be, building and fixing if something doesnt work. I hope the lego who hit her head recovers safely :)
Amazing build! I love how it shows the thought process of how you built the roller coaster. Nice detail and decoration! It also kind of looks like a real roller coaster that I have been on called the Loch Ness Monster.
What an awesome build! Thank you for the walk through!
Beautiful Coaster and very true to Theme Park.
I was fascinated by the testing and troubleshooting - and then I was delighted when the paramedics came to assist the injured rider 💙
I don't know how long it took to build this but even half way, it is better than all coasters in LEGO Masters this year.
9:42 deserves a standing ovation lmao
This was a lot of fun to watch from start to finish.
All of a sudden, I have an urge to build a LEGO roller coaster haha. Loved seeing it build up from a simple roller coaster to something quite amazing! 😃
Great project! You should make the loops more « stretched » like the first loop in the Loop Coaster set , wich Is more realistic and won’t crush the rider’s bones
I wanted to do this, but having these more realistic "balloon" shaped loops caused the space for intertwined loops to be too small. I am considering making a larger and taller loop altogether, but this is still only in the ideas phase. Ideally there should be 3 or more trains entering the same place.
I kinda like the bone crushing part
@@LasseDeleurani enjoy it! You are super smart and talented (and must have lotsa 💵 💰 hehe) Money is one thing but your talent is everything! Legoland builder and imagineer should hire you.
I saw someone made a working rapids ride… if there was enough room/track, it would be neat to make an even longer coaster that had a rapids (or even just a Lazy River) running under it I wonder if something like a log flume could be done in Lego now… Man these videos give me such interesting ideas… I may have to add Lego builds to the list of future projects 😅
Sending you warm wishes for a day filled with laughter, love, and the promise of a wonderful year ahead.
looks like RCT game in real life, awesome
Seriously incredible work, beautiful result.
I feel like I would’ve had fun with this if they were around when I was a kid…I always liked stuff like domino rally and Rube Goldberg machines
I like how you have part of the track go through the loop, like some Schwarzkopf roller coasters do
I like how you put a minifig on a sretcher in order to fix the ride
Seriously brilliant. Should be a set on shelves!
Yeah he should consider submitting for a Lego Ideas set
@@1208Atlas don't submit anything to Lego Ideas. Just look at what they did to the Orient Express.
It would be a cool set but would cost way too much. The LEGO Loop Coaster cost $400 and this is much larger.
Can i just say that before watching your video i thought "Im quite good at building with Lego" After watching ive gone back to Duplo Blocks 🤦🏻♀️🤪😂🤣 Amazing work 🎉
Man .. and I thought that I had problems... I'm happy when I see others with bigger issues than mine :) LoL, just kiddin! Great work and a lot of effort you put in this build!
Respect to the lego figures for surviving over 142 g-forces
Their sacrifice was a cost I was willing to pay.
Okay, the stretcher part was hilarious! Thank you! I had a good laugh! :-D
Extremely impressive!! This is very very cool, your very very talented! Also love the part between 9:40 - 9:46. This absolutely amazing. I really like how throughout the video you were trying to different things and seeing if they work or not. Can you please please make More Lego Rides? And again this is super amazing and cool!! I subscribed.
I love the iterative process
This is the exact description of trial and error. Finding out what did and did not work and improving it
You should have always tested with as many cars as you intended to have, the extra momentum from added weight would have saved a lot of verticality
The process!
It's like a dueling Loch Ness Monster, amazing job!
Watching this video whole to the 20.41 mark was awesome!
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
this dude knows how to code in Lego and make a good roller coaster fast, but he has 9.49k subscribers. Guys show him some love.
