Initial run of the Red Racer backyard roller coaster cart on the little rocket track
Jukin Media Verified (Original) For licensing, permission to use: Contact licensing(at)jukinmediadotcom The blue Little Rocket cart has Ackermann steering, while the new Red Racer cart has bogie steering. For me, the most difficult task in developing a backyard roller coaster is the body of the cart. Designing a shape, building a mold and making a unique fiberglass body, would probably consume more time and money than the welded steel frame. The trouble with most riding toy bodies is they don t interface very well to the coaster frame, and usually sit high. The Red Racer has a footpowered car body, and the Little Rocket is made from a 15 gallon water barrel.
