alexinla Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Ok, I am currently visiting my hometown of Frankfurt/Germany for the Summer. Today we had a big street-festival in my "hood" that featured Switzerland as a guest of honor. The tourism office went all out and that included one of the coolest "miniature" rollercoaster ever. I could have watched this thing all day... So I took a lil' video of it with my handy, check it out as I think you would like it (not my video, but the "coaster") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 That's pretty cool. I wonder how long it took to design and build that thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapesLie Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Yeah that is pretty awesome! Now I don't know if I would ever want to ride a full size version though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexinla Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 That's pretty cool. I wonder how long it took to design and build that thing? Guess I will never be a good journalist because I talked to the guy who build this but never asked him that question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProwlerPrey Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Wow. That is incredible. I've never seen a marble with that much action in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Pretty cool! Reminds me of Pinball, and more so reminds me of a LittleBigPlanet level (which I should probably attempt making some day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 That is one amazing piece of...work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCForce Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 If you ever go to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, they have one too, it's called the Swiss Jolly Ball (snicker) and very similar to the other one above: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexinla Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Wow, the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicagos display is very similar indeed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Those are pretty cool. It has got to take a lot of work to design and build those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
