Green tasted the best
Tastes
It hasnt changed
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.
A true connoisseur
My god, it even has a watermark.
Monsieur.
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.
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.
Pediatric Dentists:
I’ll take one of those roll coaster things and a box of small toys you can choke on. Gimme a couple of those old Highlights magazines too.
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.
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
It was the most interesting thing in the waiting room. Not the most interesting thing in your house. I'd say that's a good thing.
It is also a good demonstration how realtive our happyness is. It is all about expectations.
Gotta make them more unhappy so they can appreciate the little things
I mean somethimes for modern western people, putting things into perspective WOULD actually help.
They only liked the one that was covered in sick kid germs.
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
Hell, I made them. When I was a teenager I worked at a company called Educo that made these. The machines the old guy invented that bent the wires up were crazy.
I think those are actually crazy expensive
Gotta ensure you have repeat customers
Only at the pediatrician's office.
Who didn't play with one like when? Like ever? Or just today?
Ever... bonus points if you played with one today.
