Blue Flash Roller Coaster

The Blue Flash Roller Coaster rocks, check out the video. John Ivors, from Indiana, built the Blue Flash in 2002 in the very shed that the coaster hangs over. It’s 180 feet long, 20 feet high, has a 360-degree corkscrew and lasts all of about 10 seconds once the car reaches the top of the shed. A very impressive home project, Looking forward to seeing Blue Flash II (it’s in production). [via]

    I’ve seen this so many times. This is a great coaster. I can’t believe how he built it. I wonder how long it took him. I’d love to ride this someday!

    Wow, I just seen this on a program on National Geographic called “Supercoasters”. This guy is smart and has guts. I’ve always thought it’d be cool to build your own ride. Just curious, is this legal? How many people have ridden it?
    Anyway, can’t wait to see the next one he builds!

    No, this is the Internet. It’s international. Learn a second language. Chile is in America, South America.

    People that react like that give us US Citizens a bad name. You are a disgrace to our country, you should be ashamed.

    So should the moderator that modded-out this post the first time around.
