Backyard RidesHas anyone made any?Users viewing this topic: No registered users and 2 guests Re: Backyard RidesWell that's one way to sell a house. Skip the walking tour. Offer a "coaster tour" of the house instead.

The Mr Freeze coasters should have speakers playing the sentence: "Let's kick some ice!" right before each launch
What does one say after riding a Batman clone? The G force is strong with this one. Re:
Would you guys mind if I modeled my own version of this ride concept, with the hope towards someday actually building it? It would follow the second illustration with "standard" cars that start horizontally before going down the drop, and be downsized to about 10' tall. I have designed a non-steering, non-articulated car optimized for traversing tight radii in the vertical plane. I'm planning to start building this over the winter, and later retrofit articulated, steering wheel bogies. In the meantime, the ride above would be the perfect test bed for my design. Here's a render of my car design: ![]() Recent Visits:HIKennywood — Carowinds — KD — Adventureland (NY) — NW PA/Western NY — Hersheypark

Probably closer to 5 in real life, and only for a split second. I think the radius is a little bigger than the ones shown.

![]() I mean sure, it would be a fun little novelty, but in reality how much would you actually use this thing? Not trying to be a negative nancy, but thinking practically I don't see it retaining its ride appeal for long. Just something to think about before spending a lot of money. On the other hand, thinking of some sort of crazy backyard pendulum ride gets my heart racing a bit edit; e.g. Personal Screamin' Swing ![]() Re: Backyard RidesThese rides all look pretty cool...and I would ride them. But honestly, I'd be a little terrified. LOL!
Re: Backyard RidesHas this one been posted yet? That's taking the backyard coasters to a whole new level!
![]() This guy also made a few flat rides, including a drop tower!! ![]() Go there and give him a like: Guigui Rides ![]() Return to Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
