The Human Powered Roller Coaster, aka The Alley Cats Scramble







This was frickin' amazing, I raced on it twice 1997 and 1998. I got to race the finals on Halloween while Fishbone played! So many huge crashes...They don't build them like this anymore.

  2. Thanks Jed, love you like a little brother. But if you know the relationship I have with my little brother it might not be such a compliment...

  3. Wasn't the whole thing sponsored by Dunhill cigarettes or something like that? That made it that much more awesomer.

  4. It was sponsored by dunhill, I don't think they were able to get Jack Daniels as a sponsor, that would have been perfection...
