Not for me personally (very bad with heights), but CoasterDynamix has a really interesting looking kit... If nothing else, the demo video on the site is worth a look.

Ya. Looked quite neat until I saw the price! $499!

Yeah, that's neat. This guy does some awesome work too. Damned expensive though.

I've been playing with NoLimits Roller Coaster Simulation lately. The editor is amazing, very CAD-like. Plus, there is a terrain editor which really opens the possiblities of design. Anyway, anyone who is interested in roller coasters should definitely check it out. Best simulator I've seen so far, and it's only $25.

Those are cool. Anyone remember the roller coaster set that used ball bearings instead of cars? I've been looking to buy one of those for a while. I could never afford it as a kid, and now that I'm just a big kid...
