Backyard Coaster

I know, we've all seen the first three, but it's the fourth that I'm curious about. Does anybody have any information on the last one? Looks like an intamin built of wood... Or a togo.

Yeah some like, 14 year old kid in Germany was working on it maybe 8-10 years ago, but the government didn't let him finish it. I think he did that all himself with his dad's tools. It was planned to be rideable, but it never got to that point since he didn't get further than the first drop. I had read Europa Park offered to buy it, maybe let him finish there, not sure, but I don't think anything ever came of that. That's all from memory, and I'm not sure the status now, but I'm guessing it's been disassembled.

Extremely impressive though, for anyone...let alone a young teenager.

Can you post a link to the video? I cant see it.

Oh yeah I remember that.I'll do some research.

Very impressive.It was 5 meters high and was planned to be 100 meters long.Funny how this began:
He was always playing Achtebahn Designer(NL on a disc)so his parents said he plays too much and he had to go out.The rest you know,he made this stuf using NL and the workshop of his dad.

And in the end,the government love it up!
I wonder why this hasn't happend to all those backyard coasters in the USA.

^Because the American government doesnt care for our safety if something goes wrong lol.

I envy you,lol.

It's a good and a bad thing.

Damn budget cuts.

Code doesn't say anything about roller coasters. My backyard coaster qualifies as a "play structure", and therefore doesn't need a permit.

As long as you are not offering rides to the public for a fee you can build a roller coaster in your back yard with out any regulation what so ever. In fact unless your violating an HOA Agreement or a city ordinance there is really not much anybody can do to stop you. Most states do not even have any regulation governing amusement rides, in general the industry is largely self regulated.

^ yeah, what he said. Same as building your own half-pipe, bmx track in your back yard etc. if you are only killing yourself, there is no threat to public safety.

I got very excited when Du Hast started playing, but then the video wasn't long enough to hear any of the song [V]
