The Lawn Luge is a portable roller coaster that is easily built by anyone that can operate a drill press and a chop saw. It can be put into action by children safely in about 3 minutes. There are a lot of small plastic coasters that are essentially a childs slide with a wheeled cart.
Pictured above is an example of a roller coaster I built with with only 80’ of track, I have had as much as 120′ layed out and with a gentle slope you can really fly . There is no limitation on the length of track you are only limited by your budget and terrain. The cost of PVC pipe is relatively low and this systemcan be built for about the same cost as some of the plastic coasters with only 6-8′ of track. But be careful, too steep of grade could be dangerous for children. I must tell you that adults like this too and it will easily support a 240 pound person.
There are a number of folks that have built some rather elaborate backyard roller coasters, impressive for sure but not very attractive to the neighbors. What I have devised is easily stowed, easily installed and it will not damage the yard, unless left overnight.
