I’m building a Lego Rollercoaster that features working block zones and a switch track. As far as I can tell, I’m the first person to do this completely out of Lego. When I was designing the track, I wanted there to be as many near miss, sometimes called head chopper, elements as possible. I then thought it’d be funny if the people coming off the ride were bald, due to their hair being shaved off by the ride. This then led me to theming it as a barber shop, complete with a large blade, “water” spouts, and brush on the ride.

I love watching videos of Lego coaster designs, and seeing them in real life, however all of them that run multiple trains usually crash them into each other eventually, something that makes me cringe as a former ride operator. I felt it would be more interesting if the ride could keep track of each vehicle, and stop them at the load and unloads, along with removing them from the track, so that’s what I’ve set out to do.
