Thanks! I was VERY close to not even building this one, cause it just seemed like such a small weird idea. But I'm really happy with how it turned out.

 

Now, in searching for a theme for this coaster, my mind kept going back to the news and the protests that are going on across the United States. I'm not typically politically active, but I do want to support causes that I believe in. So . . . I decided to name it after a story about a series of protests in Washington DC that led to the desegregation of a local amusement park.

^Thanks. I really appreciate the feedback on such a different kind of video.

 

And now we have the actual final video for the ride, including a GoPro POV - which may be the first one I did not have to splice together from two or more clips.

your video and your tribute was very well-thought-out and extremely insightful.I feel that was a story that added some value and meaning and context for me as a white person trying to understand the black struggle in these turbulent times. Great job on the coaster itself as well!

Great coaster especially with what little space you had! The theming is very nice, simple but powerful in the message. It's very fitting that this is a carousel coaster and a pivotal event of the revolution happened on the carousel at the park. What a wonderful way to showcase this coaster and bring attention to an important issue of today.

Cool coaster concept and I love the fist! Never thought I'd see knex combined with activism haha

I'm really glad you decided to go through with the idea -  it's such a neat concept! That pov is wonderfully trippy, and there's a great diversity of elements in the spaghetti bowl. Such a unique way to pay tribute to an incredibly worthy cause! A fitting name for a revolving coaster too...
