Is it possible to buy a single rollercoaster car to use as a seat in a bedroom. I know that it sounds a bit weird but I think it sound rather cool. How cool would it be to play on rollercoaster tycoon whilst sitting in a rollercoaster carriage with the head restraints and everything. If it is possible, could you please tell me where. Thankyou,

Thats a shame, it would really look good in a bedroom though. Does anyone now have any ideas on what to place in a room to make it feel theme parkey? JamiePugh2006

You might, check with your local park if they're selling/demolishing a ride. Or eBay, or RCCGB/ACE/ECC.

It would be annoying though, having to call for help for someone to open your harness when you need to get out of your seat.

You can get a free coaster car from either Zonga or Greezed Lightnin'. Just bring a pickup truck to the Six Flags Marine World parking lot and make sure no one is looking!

According to the anonymous dipping dots guy who works in an anonymous park in an anonymous country, there is an anonymous company that could sell you an anonymous coaster car if you raing up and ask for an anonymous sales guy, but remember to tell him you yourself wish to remain anonymous, or else the whole illusion of obtaining an anonymous coaster car from the anonymous company is ruined.

Lay an asphalt floor, and get about 50 pounds of cotton candy, popcorn (stale) and a 55 gallon drum of soda... spread the cotton candy out evenly, sprinkle liberally with the opcorn and hose down sith the soda.. Let stand in 140 degree heat for 7 days then move on in....

if i had to pick what coaster car id get...it would be hands down one of the cars on Rockin' Roller Coaster! there would be 1 problem though... what if u r alone in your house and u accidentally lower the should restraint? how do u get out!?:eek::eek::eek: the only releaser is on the back of the car, which coincidentially, nobody can reach from the inside!

If you have a relative who is experienced with blowtorches and stuff, you could have that person make a little switch for the release......

Just whack it with a sledgehammer once and you'll never need to worry about it closing up on you.

Sort of Random but on Extreme Home Makeover I saw one time there was a boy who loved Roller Coasters and they put a Coaster Car in his bedroom like on the wall with a mural of track behind him to make it look like the coaster car was on the track.

So it is possible but you need to have an over-eccentric, Ritalin needing, carpenter/host to do it...

Ebay at one time was selling a car from Space Mountain. I believe the starting bid was around 5k.

I don't know, those old Space Mountain cars would be cool. It'd bring back a lot of memories.

I would just like a rollercoaster car like the rita cars at Alton Towers. They are awesome. Does anyone know the manufacturer of those?
