RG and I rode up Bay Hill Road on Friday evening. We pulled into the driveway on a mission to find out more about this artifact. RG introduced herself to the wonderfully nice folks who were in the driveway.

The roller coaster sitting in Nancy and Greg's front yard was actually custom made by a friend of Nancy's who lives in PA. He restores wooden roller coasters around the country. Nancy has an on line business that sells roller coaster items.

It has only been there since November 2010. It had Christmas lights on it this winter.

Nancy said that it was modeled after a coaster from CT. either called Hell Diver or Hell Coaster. (We could not find it on line)

They actually have a car which can ride part way around the track but have not worked out all the bugs yet. If you look at the flowers and the Cat you will get a feel for scale. It is quite impressive.
