If I wasn't living in a suburb, and if I had the jaw-dropping amount of money, I'd get an Intamin Megalite since they've got small footprints and they're relatively exciting XD

Yeah, I think that's more realistic.

It was actually $1500, which is amazing considering.

I think the builder of Blue flash (the one with the loop, not the wooden one) said it cost less than something like $1000 (not sure on the exact amount but it wasnt alot) I think its the knowledge required more than the money that stops most people from trying it. I guess its something all people like us dream about but never have the guts to give a go, with good reason really as they could cause serious injury if not built correctly. I guess we can all dream.

Those things have to be a lot of work to maintain over winter.

How cool would that be! I feel like that takes a lot of money, though…

LOL! Mine would have to be a scale model. I only have a terrace. Best of the holidays to you my friend. I'm happy to have have learned about this great site. It has brightened my year! Great writing, articles and insights.

May all of your Christmas wishes be granted and I hope we bump into each other over the summer on one of our excursions. It's great knowing that I'm far from the only coaster fanatic out there. We are legion! Maybe we can get a group trip together at some park this year. I think it'd be fun to hang with a bunch of enthusiasts for a few days.

Best of the holidays to everyone! May all of your coasters be smooth and infinitely re-rideable.

I don't have the space for a roller coaster in my yard. My house sits on only an acre of land! Plus, I'm not all that industrial. For now, I'm just trying to get through high school.
