A roller coaster for Zamar Spheres incorporating a scene from each of the six Koro.
About this creation
Do you remember Zamarslide 1.0? Well, as Yuri said, "Now you just need to make it grow... Show us some curves!" Well, it's bigger, better and more complex than ever now! Enjoy!
This was a challenging build for me. I originally meant to have a loop-de-loop after the Ta-Koro section, but it wasn't tall enough for the Zamars to get enough momentum. I think the hill worked well, though. I never quite knew what the next section of track would be, so it's kind of just tacked-together. Were I to rebuild it, I could make it more stable and uniform. But I'm not going to, because that would just be too much work, and right now I'm busy trying to defeat Clockwork Tempest in the Bio Cup. I first started building this forever ago, and then it got stuck in a closet half-built for months while I focused on other projects. It's been done for a while, but I just now got around to photographing it. It was dismantled immediately after because it was such a strain on parts. Technic beams and ball joints especially- it used 27 individual ball joints, and I need those for my Bio-Cup entry. Eventually, though, I plan on building Zamarslide 3.0, based on Metru-Nui.
Thanks for looking. I hope you liked it! Be sure to rate and comment!
Very nice. I love the tribute to the classic isle we've all come to know and love.
I might have to make myself one of those crabs. Not to post or anything, just to have because it looks so cool.
Wow! I do not normally comment on Bionicle things - but here I am! To be honest from the thumb I thought you had put the Mata Nui on snowboards and somehow managed to make a track they travelled on. However, the balls are just as cool - they stick to the track surprising well considering the speed they are travelling at. An excellent job here Mr Obsessionist, very innovative! ~Thoy
An interesting mechanism, and something out of the box I usually see for tributes. The matoran designs were creative, along with the miniature Gukko bird. Well, in conclusion, I give this moc a five out of five. Excellent work, keep it up.
This is fantastic! Building the working Zamarslide and decorate it with those nice made matoran (and rahi)! And I really like the way you made this stone-stauette the po-matoran is building. Excellent!
MASTERPIECE! The bends and the hill through different Koros with matorans showing off what they do is just absolutely stunning!
I like it

I'm surprised it works! From what I saw in the video, it works perfectly (not to say you didn't cut anything out) and the 6 koros are just awesome! My favorite is po-koro, I love the statue-in-progress. Overall great work, it's a shame you couldn't keep it together because it's pretty awesome! I would love to have something like this on my desk. (wait, I don't have a desk...)

Outstanding, marvellous creation. Ingenious and colorful! I especially like that little uphill passage, I'm sure it must have been the trickiest part. Man, I'd watch the vid for hours!
Well, thank you! The uphill bit was extremely difficult. I kept making it shorter and shorter so that all of the balls would definitely make it untill I was worried it would be tiny! In the end, though, I think I was able to make it a reasonable size and still get 100% of the balls up it.
Ahh sweet nostalgia. This just looks fun - the perfect thing for a BIONICLE display to the public, but also it must have been really cool (And frustrating!) to build. And for that, hats off to you, sir. The promise of a Metru-Nui one is getting me all excited. That was my favourite era. ^^

Officially my all time favourite moc ever. Not the rollercoster part although that is cool I think it's just a great tribute to a great game called The Mata Nui Online Game.

Truly amazing tribute to bionicle, brings back memories of the old bionicle ! This is really cool, the way the zamors roll around the whole thing and how you incorporated something from each Koro. Truly amazing job ! I like how you added the water fall and how the le- matoran is higher up as if the gukko bird is flying. Excellent, amazing job ! I just have to find a category to nominate this for the bio cup, i'll think of something to get it voted !

It's very finnicky, so you have to make some ajustments every time you move it. Once you get it perfectly adjusted, though, it works very well. It does drop a ball now and then, but it's surprisingly infrequently.
