Redneck Rollercoaster

A Ride Hooked Up to The Outside of Your Car

— February 21, 2007 — Autos
Have you ever seen something fun and crazy?

Implications - This hick rollercoaster is a Chevy Cavalier that has been transformed into the best redneck ride a deer-hunting, plaid-wearing, tooth-missing guy or gal could ask for. There is a bit of a game to this ride as you are supposed to get your speed up and then "slam on the brakes and see if you can touch the ground when the car lifts its rear wheels and catapults you earthward." Is it safe? Can you take kids on it? Has it been approved by the necessary officials? You probably don't want to know the answer to those questions.
Trend Themes
1. DIY Thrill Rides - The trend of creating homemade thrill rides is on the rise, as people look for unique and budget-friendly ways to experience the rush of amusement park rides.
2. Redneck Engineering - The trend of repurposing and modifying ordinary objects into unconventional means of entertainment is gaining popularity, as more people seek out quirky and unexpected experiences.
3. Extreme Risk-taking - The trend of pushing boundaries and taking risks to achieve a sense of excitement and adrenaline is becoming more prevalent, as people look for ways to escape the monotony of everyday life.
Industry Implications
1. Amusement Parks - Amusement parks can capitalize on the trend of DIY thrill rides by offering design and safety workshops so that thrill-seekers can learn to construct safe and exciting rides in their own backyard.
2. Automotive - Automotive companies can tap into the trend of repurposing cars by creating lines of customizable vehicles that allow customers to personalize and modify their vehicle for diverse uses, such as thrill-seeking or off-roading.
3. Insurance - Insurance companies can create niche insurance policies that cater to extreme risk-takers looking to participate in unconventional activities such as DIY thrill rides, providing coverage against injury and liability specific to those activities.
