freaks76 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 I don't want people to waste $30 or how ever much Gold pass gets off on Merchandise... Please be VERY carefully on how you bend the metal to form the ride. It could easily be messed up, and will be good to do it very slowly, no need to rush! I can only agree with this, I've got 3 from Cedar Point, the metal snaps easy (on of the pegs where you put it into the base snapped off on one of mine). Also be careful when taking the pieces out of the sheet, you can cut yourself (I did that on my first one oops!) If there is someway to cut yourself on it. I'll find a way. Somehow I manage to bleed 3 or 4 times a week. 2 Quote

freaks76 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 I hope not. Never have before. If I do something bad probably happened. 1 Quote
homestar92 Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Found a minor issue with The Beast model. Turns out the helix on the model is a downward helix while the real life Beast has an upward helix. Other than that, I'm very happy with it. 3 Quote
shark6495 Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 How long did it take for you to complete? This is what I wanted for my slot car/train table Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
homestar92 Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 10-15 minutes tops. It's only a few pieces. Nothing too crazy. 1 Quote
shark6495 Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 10-15 minutes tops. It's only a few pieces. Nothing too crazy. Dumb question. Could you take a picture of a section or the cars next to a quarter? Deciding if it's a good fit for the models. Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
homestar92 Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 There aren't any cars. It's just a little aluminum model of the track. And I couldn't find a quarter, but I had a nickel in my desk drawer. Hopefully you can work with that. 5 Quote
shark6495 Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Gotcha. Thanks yes much smaller than I was thinking.... :/ Don't know why but I sort of assumed it was like the moveable ones they come out with every now and then. Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 A nickel! How apt! Mr. D. Kinzel would be so proud. 3 Quote
BlondyRidesOn Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 I tried putting my Beast model together, but one of the pieces wouldn't fit in the slot, even though the others fit snuggly. It was closer to the center of the piece and it was just a millimeter from fitting right into the slot. Are there any suggestions? 1 Quote
rcwizard13 Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Just keep trying. I purchased The Beast model as well and put it together earlier today. Some of the slots will take a bit of patience to get the metal into. They definitely all didn't go in on the first try. 2 Quote
