Description

The Loopster is a roller coaster casting made by Hot Wheels. The design is loosely based on the trains prominently found on looping coasters manufactured by Arrow Dynamics in the 1970s and 1980s.

There are connectors at the front and rear of the casting that allow multiple Loopster vehicles to be connected together in order to make a longer roller coaster train.

Each Loopster release comes in two variations. The hands up version comes with the right rear passenger's arms up in the air. The hands down version has all four passengers with their arms down.

Every Loopster also has two (one for each side) tiny unmovable OH5 wheels.

The Loopster has been released in the following 1/64 scale versions:
