Doesn't some other ice cream store have a coaster in it? i have seen pics of an incedible inverted coaster that hangs from the ceiling (working too)but i am not sure where it is?

Christiaan, I've been there twice now, and that model coaster rocks!  I love how fast it goes through the course, very awesome.  Not to mention, they have some DARN good frozen custard in there!  I will definitely be stopping by many more times before the season ends at SFGAm, it's such a cool hangout.

Come to think of it, maybe I'll just get everyone at work to go out there after we close tomorrow...that'll be quite fun!  :)

"No listenin', you hear me?"

I just went there tonight, and it was so awesome.  I loved how it even had trim brakes. 

Sethman, that is Michael Graham's phenominal Soda Jack's Inverted. It's somewhere in Colorado. His site (which has provided a world of inspiration to me) has recently closed, so I can't give ya a link. He had pics of everything from design to computer renderings to the actual construction. The track gauge alone was several inches, and seats 4-across!

I'm so glad someone finaly mentioned this place .. I go almost weekly, and aside from the coaster, the food and the staff are really great.

I really hope it makes it through the winter, becuase I know it will be packed all summer long! (Not to mention it's the best frozen custard around..)
