I vaguely remember a summer in the late '90s riding the Orient Express over and over until I thought I had a concussion. I loved it. The memories of the double loops (and flipping off the mounted cameras -- hey, I was 18) flood back when I see the working model coaster created by Modelcoasters.com, the folks behind Project 31: Rolller Coasters of Worlds of Fun 1980. You can see their work, including models of four other coasters -- Screamroller, Zambezi Zinger, Silly Serpent and Schussboomer -- at Union Station until August 11 or in the YouTube videos after the jump.
On August 13, the exhibit will move for one-day only to Worlds of Fun. Then it's back to Union Station, where the models will become permanent exhibits.
H/t: Boing Boing.
