Want a Rollercoaster?
Do you like Rollercoasters? Don't like queueing or the inflated prices at Theme Parks? Have a large garden and a whole load of scrap metal?
Well, you can build your own 'coaster like this guy..

Re: Want a Rollercoaster?
Ah yes I saw this in The Metro the other day.
If it's your hobby and you have a big garden then perfect.
If however your garden is small like mine, then no chance.

Re: Want a Rollercoaster?
many moons ago, when at alton towers with school - I wasn't strapped in on the black hole, and had to be held in by an older pupil!? I have never screamed so much in my life. 
needless to say I'm not too fond of rollercosters now...

Strapped in the blackhole? - is that some sort of sexual slang?

Re: Want a Rollercoaster?
Ahh the Black Hole. Those were the days, sadly it's now gone 
If I remember correctly the belts were only added after the ride had been running for a while to stop people messing about and try and keep you in your seat when the trains banged into each other in the station (as happened a few times).

Re: Want a Rollercoaster?
Black Hole is/was OK - the only thing bad about it was that it was dark, but coasters are reasonably safe so that's not a problem, I don't mind them, provided they don't go upside down, I just don't like that.
