From the Manufacturer
Thrill seekers will love this huge roller coaster that will give them an extreme ride right in your backyard!

Providing hours of exciting theme-park thrills, this Step2 classic is now redesigned in a larger format for older children. Extreme styling and colors add to the excitement. Little riders can just hop in the easy-entry coaster car, which is safely designed to keep feet off the ground, and hang on to the convenient handgrips. The smooth-transition track simulates a real roller-coaster hill. After reaching the bottom, kids can easily push the car back up the ramp using the integrated stairs and feel the thrill all over again!
Coaster is completely kid-operated for endless hours of active play. Assembly required. Adult supervision recommended. Measures 30.5″W x 132.75″L x 40.75″H.”

Tough Mudder Walk The Plank
This is the ‘high dive’ obstacle at Tough Mudder. It’s actually higher than it looks once you are up there. Note that you actually can’t ‘dive” off the plank but you CAN do a flip if you like. Have fun
Tough Mudder Twinkle Toes Balance Beam Obstacle
One of the most difficult obstacles on the course in my opinion (perhaps because I fell!). Twinkle toes is all about balance – the tough part is the beam sways a lot as more and more people step on it. Drat!
