Reon Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Yankee Guy Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 when do we expect pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalMAN123 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 ^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! ---Brent 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterRadio Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 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.
