Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Ok, I know this would never happen, but I think it would be cool to travel across the country by roller coaster. Comfortable seats, 120+ mph, ahh...this is the way to travel. I won't even go into details about why this wouldn't work, because there are so many things that would prevent it from happening in the distant future.

My art teacher did a calculation once about how many lift hills you would need at what height to make it all the way from Milwaukee to Chicago.

Or use LIMs.

Lims would work, place them ever so far so that the coaster never falls below a certtain speed, imagin launched off like Top Thrill Dragster (using lims instead of course) only to be going straight from Milwaukee to Chicago at a constant 120 miles per hour along the interstate
maybe a few hills every once and a while teehee

That sounds like a great idea, it is too bad Chicago built the "L", i like your idea better.

Nah but seriously, if we could get a lot faster speeds going, have coasters linking all the SF parks.
