Backyard Flume

*cough, cough* Mr. Ascough, the Beemers are actually "Swiss Made". I know it´s a tiny littly country, and all those clustered countries over here are very confusing, but honour to whom its due ;-)

Beemers... I meant BMWs, not the coasters! I didn't even consider that both companies have the same nickname! Although now that I think about it, the car's nickname is spelled "Bimmer" not "Beemer." *** Edited 3/18/2004 2:42:50 PM UTC by Rob Ascough***

Considering Benz has one of the worst reliability ratings right now, maybe this kid works for them. Definately not on par with the backyard coasters.

Yet, kudos to the guy for trying.

You go build one.

Raptor Pilot: Do you have a backyard flume?

OK, my post is like many of the above now.

I give him props for the effort.....
but yes, craptastic. Looks like something you would see on Strongbad.

I wonder if he used actual water pumps or just garden hoses? Either would work, I suppose.

I heard SF is buying a few for there parks next year.

/\ LOL! I guess they gotta save money somehow, importing from a little-known german kid in the industry would do the trick. I also heard SF bought them all with the "junk yard" theming package on the side, which would include the brown tinted water and smell, not to mention an optional towering house on one side and treeline on the other.

haha, but I give him credit for the effort though, looks fun. *** Edited 3/19/2004 4:40:03 AM UTC by P18*** *** Edited 3/19/2004 4:58:54 AM UTC by P18***

I must be missing something..you all can smell through your computer? Jeez I'm behind on the times.

OR are we just assuming that it smells bad? because..you know what happens when you assume...

Considering that this Flume was completely built with found materials (Cost: ZERO!)
I would make a bet that SF is already considering how to achieve something in that financial range. (Don´t they have some unused coasters lying around somewhere?)
