If you could have any flat or coaster in your backyard!

[Angle O. Descent]

I'd have Xcelerator. Probably the best ride in the world squareyard-for-squareyard of footprint

[Randomman295]

If I didn't have a limit on space, I'd really like a Morgan Hyper like Wild Thing or Steel Force. Very re-ridable are reliable.

As for flat rides, I really like Huss Giant Frisbees.

 

If I was constrained space-wise, I think I'd really like a Eurofighter...

...Or an S&S El Loco.

And for small flat rides, I absolutely adore Tilt-a-Whirls.

[markysharky17]

I would like meteor at Dorney Park in my back yard or maybe a Huss Topspin like The Crypt!

[DarienLaker]

Since I have a small backyard I would go with the one follwing rides

 

Flats

.Giant Wheel from the 1982 World's Fair which is now at Darien Lake

.Turtle from Kennywood

.A Scrambler

.A Huss Ranger

.Windseeker

.Space Spiral from Cedar Point

 

Coasters

.Big Spin/Joker formerly from SFDK now at Six Flags Mexico

.Motocoaster

.A Vekoma Boomerang

.A Schwarzkopf Wildcat

.A Zierer Ladybug kiddie coaster that's made for bigger people

.Top Thrill Dragster

.A Schwarzkopf loopscrew coaster (like Zonga was)

[B&MBoy1982]

I actually have room for a Tilt-a-whirl or a ride with the same foot print in my back yard.

 

Flat: Definitely a Tilt-a-whirl. (LOVE the one at Cedar Point!)

 

Coaster: (If space is not an issue) A clone of BGT's Kumba with 2 trains so I could rotate them out.

[cfc]

I suppose I could cram a Frog Hopper into my backyard--not a lot of room back there.

[Moose]

I could easily fit a robo arm like the ones Lego has at a few of their parks. The variability in the ride would also make me less likely to get bored with the ride.

[simaticable]

I'd gladly take a Mind Bender or Kumba clone.

[YoshiFan]

Coaster: A B&M Hyper

Flat: Mangels Whip

 

If it's a coaster that actually has to fit in a backyard I guess I'd go with a compact Premier launched coaster.

[IronWolfman]

After lots of thinking, either an A.R.M./Larson drop tower or a slingshot. Or both.

[JonnyRCT3]

I'd love to have a SkyCoaster in my backyard. That would be great to have at parties!

[Woodie Warrior]

I'd choose Outlaw Run and the Giant Barn Swing (an S&S Screamin' Swing). I'd like both complete with theming.

[kidcoaster 2]

I would gladly take a mega-lite and a set of flyers.

[gerstlaueringvar]

Coaster: Outlaw Run

 

Flag Ride: Intamin drop tower

 

Added:

Park: Silver Dollar City

Food: Cinnamon bread!

[dropzonefan]

If it had to fit in my yard, probably a chance zipper... They're wickedly intense, and every ride experience is different!... Plus, coluld easily fit in my yard.

[arby]

An El Loco would fit perfectly in my back yard! I wouldn't turn down any flats, though, if any of you have one sitting around you would like to donate...

[beatle11]

If it had to fit in my backyard, I might actually go with Kozmos Kurves. Best kiddie coaster ever!

 

[2012jarrett]

I actually built a small roller coaster-ish thing back there once! It was a rig similar to a zipline but we put a pulley on the cable and attached it to a seat. To this day I'm not sure if it's a credit, but it was a lot of fun! It was just a straight shot but the cable would actually oscillate a bit after the initial drop with the wait tugging at the elasticity and because it was built really close to the ground on a hill and you felt like you were going to hit the ground (and a few people actually did when we first tested it ) Sadly it had to come down because one of the trees supporting the top cable got infected by the emerald ash borer (invasive beetle that kills ash trees) had to be cut down before it fell and hurt anybody, but it was a lot of fun! It was a huge hit at my graduation party!

 

 

Well, on my property, I could maybe see us cramming a MACK Wild Mouse in if we were to remove our deck, or maybe the most epic PVC coaster ever, since our backyard is built on really hilly terrain. There's also a spot where we could MAYBE cram in a Polercoaster right outside my window.

 

The thing is, my house backs up to a nature reserve, which really isn't our property, but there's a lot of really hilly forested land back there. I'd really like to maybe have the neighborhood buy an L-shaped plot of land back there from the city and we could get either A. an epic wooden coaster or B. something like Cheetah Hunt (my favorite!) but in the woods with more terrain action. That forest is epic, though, there's a few small storm creeks, a large cliff, and a 25-foot deep ravine complete with a waterfall into it, if we had permission and money we could easily put a world class coaster back there.

 

Final answer:

 

Propety- GCI kids wooden coaster along the perimeter of the forest that turns and does something (lift hill, I don't care, something) along this big epic hill in our side yard. I'd KILL to have those minilennium flyers in my yard! That and maybe a small slingshot in the crook of the layout.

 

Viscinity- Polercoaster in the yard, Intamin LSM like Cheetah Hunt in the woods that dives into that ravine, has the same barrel roll but over the cliff, and has a helix around a giant ancient oak tree. And a windcatcher.

 

Yeah, wishful thinking but it would be SO cool!

[MoonCadet]

I would have to take a Bayern Kurve complete with horn to make all my neighbors love me. There just are not enough of them around anymore.

[Randomman295]

I don't know why I didn't mention an Arrow Mad Mouse. These things are the best wild mouses (mice?) I've ridden.

 

 

ALSO A ZAMPERLA MINI DISCOVERY.

LOOK AT IT.

LOOK AT HOW CUTE AND TINY IT IS.

[Stephen G]

Now for a Flat ride I'd have to go with a zipper.

But for a Coaster id take Shock wave at SFOT.

[djboss302]

Flat ride-Air Race

Roller Coaster: Batman Clone

[Robocoaster]

Coaster: El Toro. But more realistically, though, I'd take Spinning Coaster from SBF/Visa.

Flat Ride: Air Race. Best flat ride ever.

[FreeFaller]

Give me a Free Fall! It's going high, so it should fit into every backyard

[Jon Sabo]

Flat Ride: Any spinning ride.

Coaster:

Kumba!

But, due to the size of the yard, a unique dive coaster would fit nicely (and use my pool for a water brake area).
