Yeah but thats not the Reid coaster....Unless I can find enough grain elevator metal to rework (or whatever he did) I need wood....

 

Also, preview animation of the first section! (done in ms paint)

when do we expect pictures?

[Reon]

Well first I need more detail on construction. Thats why Im looking for sites with tips on how to build woodies...then I need to get the permit. After that is construction...Im hoping to get to that part asap.

Also a dumb question: will this count as a coaster credit?

For anyone who's interested:

it's the link for the Jeremy Reid backyard coaster.

[Reon]

Well thats the coaster, but theres supposed to be a big website, not just a few pics...

^There is supposed to be, but do the modern thing, Google it! Well, I hope you have a fun time making this coaster and if I'm ever out in Cincinatti sometime, I'll give you a call. Have fun and lots of luck!

We had Jeremy Reid on CoasterRadio.com a few weeks ago when we did a whole show on "Backyard Thrill Rides." He told us how he built and tested the coaster. I think it cost him around $5,500 to build.

 

There are a lot of good pictures on his site - www.jeremyreid.com For some reason, it's down right now.

site must be down. It was up a few days ago. today all you get is a 404 error.

Yeah, those pics of the Reid coaster are good. Love the way he made the car.
