Buy The Ticket, Take The Final Ride
Monday, April 25, 2011
The Euthanasia Coaster is like something out of an old B-grade horror film. The plot almost writes itself: Five kids on Spring/Summer break, their vehicle breaks down, “Oh look, a carnival! Maybe someone there can help us!”, demon carnies, evil ringmaster, a bunch of running and death in various carnival mainstays, all leading up to an explosive and fiery climax high a top the title’s namesake. Heck, it might even be a good B-movie if it already wasn’t a horrific design project.
Designed by a PhD candidate at the Royal College of Art in London, it very literally kills with thrills in an effort to make the last ride you would ever stand in line for “pleasing, elegant and meaningful.” I, for one, have never really equated those words with roller coasters ever, but maybe that’s just me. And while there’s no chance someone would actually be insane enough to build the thing, the plans themselves are probably enough to give your most coaster-phobic pal nightmares for a night or two.
