Saw this and figured the people here would be interested in it.

When will there be a MAME driver for it?

That reminds me of the monorail in Ogdenville, or was it North Haverbrook?
It has always been my life long dream to be a monorail conductor.

You got to be ******** me. that is crazy as hell. My wife would blow up if I wanted to build something like that. An arcade machine is one thing but that is just too much.
-
He, he, I once suggested that I'd like to build a cart race track in my backyard. I just showed my wife this monorail and she immediately remembered that: "This is about as ridiculous as building your own cart track" (in slightly annoyed tone of voice)!
BTW, how about BYO livestock (http://www.tuinknuffels.nl/) (sorry that's in dutch but I guess the pictures are clear enough)

Or a full size cow tipping simulator?

Ahahahaha, that's awesome. I mean yeah, it's one of the most impractical things I've ever seen, but that's what makes it so cool.
If anyone should understand that mindset, it's us. I mean, it's not like we're devoting our lives to curing cancer here - we are spending time/money/talent on what I'm sure a lot of people see as being a "frivilous" hobby.

Is there a chance the track could bend?
What about us drunken slobs?
Were you sent here by the devil?
;)

I think most here have this thought process;
'Hey, that thing looks cool'
Takes a closer look - ' I wonder how it works'
Look at how it's put together - 'Let's take this apart'
'ah, so that's how it works'
'how hard could it be?'
'I bet I could build one of those'
At this point a glazed look comes over the face as furious thoughts start flying.
Some stop here.
Some go on.
Research parts sources - 'hey, I can get those parts'
Inventory tools required - 'I've got the tools to build this'
Draw up plans - on 'paper' or in head 'just to see if I could do it'
Some stop here. Most of my projects stop here. A few get built.
Some go on.
Order parts
Build cool thing
Bask in acomplishment
To wife - 'I told you I could build that'
Wife - 'that's nice dear, here's my divorce lawyers card'

HAHA! funny stuff :D
