This weekend I built a simple rollercoaster together with my youngest son
(he's 19 now!). It's nothing compared to the big coasters some others have
built, but we did have fun!

It only uses 'plain' Lego, old 4.5V train parts, standard bricks, so nothing
fancy like loops etc.

The trickiest part is having enough speed to climb, while still going slow
enough not to tip over in the curves...

Very nice! I'm glad to see you have made a successful roller coaster. I see you attached all the baseplates together. The firmer your track is the farther and faster your train will run. Now you need to start working on a loop! (...) (16 years ago, 30-Aug-08, to lugnet.general)
