Playground Project
I have
an old school playground in my backyard, probably about fifteen-twenty ft at it's
highest point. The first floor(off the ground) is at about six feet.
It has a
slide that comes down from the first floor to the ground and I plan on having the
coaster either go down or up it, but I'm not sure yet. Plans are very sketchy
right about now. It's really far away from being built but I figured I'd let
you guys know. There's a possibility of this being a polar coaster, but I
don't know.
Yeah, I've also got some sketchy pictures of the
playground.

I had to take the pics at night since my dad is crazy
and won't let the camera go outside. Therefore I had to wait until he
wasn't home, and I found the time. Well, that's all for now. Not much of
a plan, but enough of one.

I know, I just planned on using gray rods to make it nice,
straight, and smooth.

Well,
I've decided upon a layout, although it isn't solid. I still have to run the idea
by the M&P Board of Decisions. . .
If it is approved, the layout will
be somewhat simple and not hard to build. The only problem would probably be
making sure it won't sway and all sorts of stuff. . . DUCT TAPE TO THE
RESCUE!
Possible
Names
Arctic Twister
Blizzard Blaster(so corny, hahahaha
)
Polar Twist
Avalanche
Who knows, I gotta pick one.

Why did they down it?! Just takes up too much
space or what? Thats a shame but I am sure they have good reasons.

Direct quote from mine own father's
lips-"Not until spring."
He thinks the K'nex will break or
something in the cold. Oh well. It's the same with the skateboard ramps that I
wanted to use for snowboarding.
