The original photo is here is a pale imitation. The OG you’re looking for is The Rollercoaster by Anatex Enterprises (of Los Angeles, CA).
Five unique, color differentiated wires of balls out, rail-riding, gravity-driven wooden bead mayhem. Though the blue wire barely counts. Its banal path is curt and uninspired; clearly an afterthought in both design and execution. F-tier. Green and orange make the entire experience worth it though.
My god, it even has a watermark.
A true connoisseur
I’m from Germany and I could swear this was the one in the waiting Room of my pediatrician.
That’s the one that was at my pediatrician’s office. I played with others at other doctor’s offices but they weren’t quite the same.
This was a key factor in developing my young immune system.
I bought on of these, but my kids never played with it. However, at the pediatrician’s, it was the most interesting thing ever to them
They only liked the one that was covered in sick kid germs.
I remember being 13 years old in the doctor’s waiting room feeling awkward for wanting to play with it as I thumbed through a boring, 11 year old Reader’s Digest.
I think those are actually crazy expensive
Hot take: they intentionally put these in Grown Up places that have a lot of kids so their filthy curious hands only fuck with the shiny blocks, and not with the TV remotes and the fax machines
This was the original rollercoaster tycoon game.
When I was a kid I loved pretending the blocks were rollercoaster trains. I also loved rollercoaster tycoon, so that’s spot-on.
