I dont know if anyone has seen this before, but I thought it was pretty cool. If this is old, delete the topic please.

Next time I make it to Indiana in the spring I am going to give him a call and see if I can ride it. I will let you all know how it turns out.

That thing is very rough. Not somthing I would want to reride. It's simply too expensive to build a decent backyard coaster. That is the main reason there aren't very many. I know of one other that was a wooden coaster. Then there was a kid that made his own water ride.

They aren't the safest thing in the world either. The ones I've seen don't have a backup in case a wheel fails.

Yah that blue one was on "TBS" repels belive it or not one time.

(I Just had my english final yesterday, guess I'm still in the mood of correcting things.)

Yeah, that blue one was on TBS Ripley's Believe It or Not at one time.

Anyway, that ride looks really cool, but very unsafe. I don't know if I'd ride it simply because of its four point wheel system and it's "restraint", if you want to call it that.

I heard he's almost out of room in his backyard and that it is sinking (I heard all this from his smoothie machine)...

Check this wooden one that's really cool (It's at the bottom of the page). Blue Flash and another one are also on the site.

Yeah, it would be cool to have one in the back for all year. Wonder how big your allowed to build them? Probably can't disturb public peace or something like that. I'd get a good enough one to start charging people to ride.
