Homemade rollecoaster!!!!! Awesome. Seriously awesome. →[More:]I would post this to MeFi, but I'm waiting for my reset, and I've got some other stuff lined up anyway. More info here. (feel free to steal and share this with MeFi.)
Very fun post. (I couldn't help but think of the puppy mover posted on the blue a while back.)
I also liked how his weight limit was 200 pounds. If amusement parks follow suit, that may be the only thing that stems the obesity epidemic in the US.
The redneck rollercoaster looks like it'd be all kinds of fun. Maybe if it had a nose-wheelie-bar to keep it from threatening to flip over and pancake those dorks.
There was a burning man art car I saw pics of that amounted to a rather tall bungee-powered jump-swimp thing dangling from a tall arm off the side of a moving platform or truck or something.
Like a giant adult version of a toddler's hopper seat. On wheels. So you go bouncing along, taking giant leaps across the landscape as the truck moves along.
