Swiss Rollercoaster

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")

That's pretty cool. I wonder how long it took to design and build that thing?

[GrapesLie]

Yeah that is pretty awesome! Now I don't know if I would ever want to ride a full size version though lol

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

[ProwlerPrey]

Wow. That is incredible. I've never seen a marble with that much action in it.

Pretty cool! Reminds me of Pinball, and more so reminds me of a LittleBigPlanet level (which I should probably attempt making some day).

That is one amazing piece of...work?

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:

Wow, the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicagos display is very similar indeed...

Those are pretty cool. It has got to take a lot of work to design and build those.
