If those bears ever try to ride the rollercoaster and I get a video, I will share it with you guys

We made a very quick modification after riding it. We adjusted the regular turn and made it into a sort of banked camel hump. It made it more fun and allows less stress on the track! Here is the video of a human POV with the new turn-

Your coaster is coming along nicely! (For some odd reason, I just had a flashback to my childhood, when my brothers would be out in the back yard, nailing together pieces of wood, etc., for their homemade go-karts. Now, those weren't nearly as sophisticated as what you've been working on, but I enjoy those types of down home, backyard, creative projects. There's nothing as rewarding as creating something yourself! 
And I think it's safe to say that you will be the only person with his own coaster in the neighborhood, and well beyond!

So fun! I want to watch the video when I'm not at work!
We hope to have it make it back by around December because snow is going to put a damper on construction. If not, hopefully by the end of the next summer (should be done by then). Here is our newest video, we are going very extreme. It only took us a weekend to do this, and it was a pretty large task to do.It sure looks like a lot of fun.
I'm just curious when you will adding the second lift hill and the return loop for your Out and Back.

Really enjoyed your latest update video; it was so much fun to see the progress. I must say you have quite an ambitious, steep banked turn (yikes! 
) in the woods!! I can't wait to see if you guys can make that work. 
Also, the idea of looping the return track back through the woods, adds additional interest to the ride. Best of luck with the continuation of this project, and I hope you can finish before the snow falls.

Currently under refurb, but when it is back up again, they will be available, jump on them fast though, they will probably be sold out quickly.
Thanks! We are really ambitious and we want to go extreme, we don't want a boring roller coaster. We have actually thought about making a loop.... but we probably won't do that, that would be crazy! And we are looking for names too, we don't know what we want to name it. I thought 24 wheels under the seat was a creative and funny name with a disney reference (there are actually 24 wheels on the car), but we decided it wasn't gonna work. If you guys have any ideas, feel free to post them, we are open for suggestions!!Really enjoyed your latest update video; it was so much fun to see the progress.

It's been a while since we have made progress due to winter and school, but I made a trick shot off of it!! Here is the video!

That's great!!! So glad to see you back, working on this exciting project. I can't believe how far you've gone since you first started this. Your current ride looks smooth and fast! Well done! Looking forward to more updates in the future. (P.S.: I like the basketball thrown into the hoop--nice touch!

It has been a while since I have updated this thread on my backyard roller coaster, but it is coming along well even though winter in Wisconsin and the fact that I am at college has halted the construction again! Nonetheless, we have some pretty cool news about it! Last week the TV show Inside Edition aired a segment about our rollercoaster and two other backyard roller coasters!! I will insert the link to the segment they did, we are the second roller coaster in it! This is just a tidbit of our roller coaster, so if you want to know more about it, subscribe to our Youtube channel "Coasters and Karts" for all of our other crazy and random update videos!
