Hi Woodsy,
You recently posted a link to a model of a roller-coaster ride car. An open, multi-seat vehicle running on rails.
I recalled that Hot Wheels did a similar die-cast model, and here it is. Called Loopster, it first appeared in 2015 (copyright date 2014), and has been released in several colours.
The models have connectors front and rear, allowing a number of Loopsters to be linked together, to create a train. Some models have passengers with their arms down, and some have one figure with arms raised.
Do you like it?
Hot Wheels Wiki page for this model.

Roller Coasters, and their cars, are a cultural phenomena of long tradition. The new-style cars are cool, but I will always prefer the old wooden cars and structures. I could write a (short) book on all the roller coasters I have experienced (or survived) during my long life! SFZ
ReplyDeleteI agree, the whole history, culture and vehicles of rollercoasters and rides is fascinating SF. Magical. Let me know when the books done!
