The scene opens with Mom seated on a bed. An upside-down chair is on her lap, and a pillow is on the seat area. A small girl enters the picture, gently climbing onto the pillow on the chair. It is looking weird, but keep watching.
The viewing screen splits once the child sits with legs crisscrossed on the padded platform and holding on. The mom and daughter are on the lower screen, and a roller coaster track appears above them. As the virtual coaster moves, Mom uses the chair legs to add realistic vibrations and tilts during curves. Mom tilts the chair back as they reach the steep incline of the first hill. The “ride” shakes, and you can almost feel the chain pulling the heavy train up the track. The daughter’s face lights up. A fan is blowing in the background, causing the girl’s curly hair to blow as if the ride were really moving!
This mom went all-out to give her daughter a realistic simulation of this home roller coaster ride. They thought of all the details. Using a few household items and a virtual simulation video, this family has created a priceless memory for their daughter!
The Home Roller Coaster Ride Was Epic!
The screams of joy and happiness were awesome. Mom precisely hit every climb, drop, and curve on the track. The home roller coaster was a total success, providing an excellent experience. Mom seemed to enjoy it, too.
One needs only imagination to provide memories. This ride was so realistic for the young girl. Her screams were real as the “car” zoomed along the track, hitting curves, gentle rises, and quick drops. The occasional disembodied hands in the video did not detract from the experience. They added to it so we could “see” other riders on the coaster.
As a parent, providing your children with memories they carry throughout their lives is an important but unspoken must-do. These parents did something simple but immensely epic! Please share this with other parents who might want to create a home roller coaster for their children.
