    Oh, come on. This is the most exciting thing to happen in East Brunswick since the city council took on the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and won. The city council should appreciate the attention to engineering, safety, fun and humor put into this backyard coaster, and perhaps find a more permanent way Built To Thrill could leave a legacy at the town.

    Such a shame it needs to get thorn down but these guys look like they have a serious knack for this stuff! I could legit see them start their own company or be hired by an existing one! Like imagine them building a small full circuit wooden coaster for a small park, I could legitimately see something like that work!

      @@BigButterBoy-m5s Don't judge a ride by its size, some small roller coasters can be surprisingly intense. Especially small wooden roller coasters. One company has made several rides that proce this like "Wooden warrior" at Quassy, "Kentucky Flyer" at Kentucky Kingdom, "Bobcat" at Great Escape, "Wood express" at Parc Saint Paul, and "Oscar's Wacky Taxi" at Sesame place. Seriously look up any of those rides in youtube, they're great.

      @@trackmaster152002 It's probably primarily the zoning laws, not the permits. Permits are needed if you want to contract someone to build for you; if you are doing it yourself, then they should not be necessary. However, it's once you start involving others, such as opening the structure to the public or want to sell, that you need to make sure that the structure is built to code.
      Most likely its neighbors weaponizing zoning laws.

      Having lived in western NC for over a decade, I call bullshit. When someone inevitably moves in half a mile away they're going to claim a noise ordinance violation, and then the rural township you're in is going to rubber stamp the claim because they've got nothing better to do. And you can't fight it because the local judge is the mayor's husband and will inevitably rule in favor of his wife no matter how much of a case you've got.

      Im not really fully aware of the situation, but if I had to take a guess, its probably due to either A: The city seeing it as a violation of zoning laws (most american towns have ludicrously strict zoning laws about what can and cannot be built anywhere, even outlawing stuff like a house with 2 homes in it across the vast majority of the USA), or B: Nimbys, aka "Not in my Backyard"ers complaining about its existence, or a combination of both.

    It is a sincere shame that this coaster has to be taken down. However these guys should reach out to Knoebels Grove in Pennsylvania. They rescue unique and often doomed rides. Though they would no doubt not be able to use it in its current form they have a very powerful team of engineers who could design and build it up into a small attraction that would add a unique part to their park.
    I have land myself and would love to host the ride however I almost certain there are bylaws where I live that would prohibit it.
    But yes please reach out to Knoebels Grove.
