Do you like rollercoasters? Probably not as much as this guy. As well as developing rollercoaster simulation programs, he actually went and spent $5,500 building his own. Takes all sorts.
Dang. Nothing brings out my perennial inner-12-year-old like a home-made coaster. I vote this guy Coolio 2003.
Wait wait! There's more!
Here's someone who built a personal Monorail (What'd I say? Monorail! What's it called? Monorail!) system in his backyard.
And we oughtn't forget this contribution to the homemade roller coaster phenomenon!
Or John Ivers, who seems to have started the crazy trend.
my initial reaction : I wouldn't ride a $5,500 dollar roller coaster even if I made it.
second reaction : it's actually, uh, kinda cute. Still not riding it, though.
Dizzy : maybe retro Coolio 2002?
The fact that it only cost him $5,500 seems scary to me. I'd hope he's spent another $50k on medical insurance before getting on.
I love rollercoasters and all, but I don't have the creativity to design my own even when I'm playing Rollercoaster Tycoon... I still like Space Mountain at Disneyland the most. And the Giant Dipper at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
f8xmulder: See? SEE? THAT'S what happens when you properly research a link.

2002... 2003... I'm not sure what day it is, let alone the year.
Anybody see that hilarious 'Welcome Back, Kotter" last night?
Dang, I was just caught up with the monorail link.
Now if only he had designed it with human-sized people in mind...
