5-year old, 2-year old, and 25-year old test out the newly created backyard roller coaster made of 2x4's and a "little red wagon" (Sorry, I lost the audio when connecting all 3 videos together)

  • what type of wood do you need and how much did it cost.

  • regular 2x4's. I used scrap wood, so the wood didnt cost anything. I only have about $20.00 in screws and the time taken to put it all together.

  • AWESOME!

    '

    how do they stay on the track thingy tho???

  • screw together 2 2x4's so they look like a really fat and short "L". Space them apart so the vertical 2x4 loosely rubs on the inside of the wheel. Just like a train track, as long as your spacing is right, the wagon wheels can't get off track.

    more videos available: look for the playlist "Crystal Roller Coaster"

  • Dude, how long did it take to make that? I'm kind of planning on making my own coaster, so I want to have a time frame set.

  • All major development happened in about 6 hours. Since then I have maybe another 30 hours in adjustments and modifications.

    The start is a box-crate that we jsut flipped upside down, and then at each junction of 2x4's, we just screwed together a quick support leg (and anchored it to the fence on the other side).

see all
