O-Gauge Amusement Rides from CoasterDynamix

Great idea cant wait to see them in action!!!! Love my Scorpion Coaster!!!

that is nice!  during June and July we have a carnival setup and the motors do not last long.  that would look good.

I am all for it!!! There are a ton of rides I would love to see. How about a Tilt a whirl, Swinger, Roundup, etc etc :-) There are several manufacturers for O gauge Rides, but the prices are high. I hope you make this,

Looks good! If engineered right could be the basis for a number of circular rides....like a Himalayan toboggan style ride.   

Having been on the one at Kennywood many times, I have to say that that model is awesome!  Can't wait to see it in action!

There have been a number of different rides from Lemax over the years that I have picked up for use at shows with a Circus train theme. This would be a great addition as long as it is durable and will run for long periods of  time at shows.

I have your coaster in HO but cannot get the cars to run around the track use it as a static display.

The ride will go for $250, but it will be 100% built! Just add batteries. Another cool feature is it will have logic that allow it to slowly start up and slow down as it leaves and enters the station.

We have not yet done battery drain tests, however we do have experience with these motors and they last forever! It will have a DC plug so you can run it on constant power instead of batteries.

We are thinking about coming out with 1 flatride a year. We already have some pretty cool ideas for next year, but let's not put the cart before the carriage

Found this video.

Thank you for the video.  This looks to be an exceptional item at a fair price.

Ah; Kennywood (West Mifflin, PA).  Brings back childhood memories of going at least every Italian day with my grandmother and a bus full of her female "coomps".

Seems much smaller now as an adult.

Hey you found the video! We should have a final, painted, and with logic one sometime next week! Look forward to your comments

Hello again. We've finished the final prototype that will be on display at York next week! Here are a slew of pictures:

That looks great, love the wood decking, can we order at York.

Video is now up!

We will be taking pre-orders at York.

Wow, thanks for everyone that stopped by at York last weekend! We had a really amazing show and it was great to meet you all. Many of you asked when our new TumbleBug model will be finished. We hope to have it finished by July so that we can take it to the Greenberg show in Monroeville. Since interest was so high, we are accepting pre-orders via email as well (info@coasterdynamix). For those who pre-order, we will give you free shipping

Price is $250 for the model and that includes the logic so it starts/stops in the station.

Hey all! We finally finished our models! We heard from a lot of you at York asking if it was "The Bug" from Hershey, so we decided to come out with a red version as well! You get to choose which one is your favorite. The final price is $249.95 and we're offering free shipping from now through York. We will also have plenty available at the show, however if you plan to pick one up, let us know so we can put your name on it.

Some pictures:

Both are available for purchase right HERE

Great news, just got mine!!!

Can you give us the dimensions ?

I have been reaserching items on your site. Excellent items. I have been toying with the idea of adding a 6x10 foot area for a circus / carnival area. I wanted to start with a coaster but I may start with this first. Thanks for posting. 

Nice prototype. I'd really like to see a model of the Whip. Frankly, the turtle ride seems similar to other such rides. There is something about the 'whipping' aspect of THe Whip that interests me. Good luck with this product!

When will the Phoenix be back in stock? 

Thanks for the kind words. This model is the first in a series of "flat rides" we plan on introducing. We hope to develop one new ride per year with the prototype being unveiled in April at York and production models ready for October. All of the rides will be nostalgic amusement rides that are as at home in an early steam era layout as they are in a contemporary layout. Rather than simply molding everything out of plastic, we decided to combine many different materials to capture the appropriate texture and feel of the actual ride. Laser cut wood, plastic, aluminum, stainless steel screws, and ball bearings give the model a "mechanical" feel and appearance found only in scratch built kits. We hand assemble and paint every model in house. Our ultimate goal is to have an extensive line of classic coasters and complimentary rides that will add enjoyment and excitement to O gauge layouts everywhere!

I can measure a model and post dimensions tomorrow. We cheated on the scale size a bit to keep the footprint as practical as possible. The real ride is actually very large.

We have Scorpion kits arriving soon and hope to get Phoenix kits in here before the end of the year. Sourcing the electronics has become a nightmare recently and has led to long periods of being out of stock. Hopefully, these issues have been resolved.

Both of these models are about 18" in diameter and have a mostly-round profile.

Hey all! As we prepare for York we already have 5 or so pre-orders for our coasters and TumbleBugs. If anyone is interested in picking something up at York this fall, drop us a line or leave us an E-mail. This is going to be a really busy show for us and we want to make sure everyone who wants one will get one!

I want people to know that we have moved to the Table section (Row H). We have 5 tables there so you should be able to find us! We will have our new Tumble Bug series available to purchase, custom flashing signs for them, and we are happy to announce we finally have stations for the coaster models!
