The Euthanasia Coaster is an art concept for a steel roller coaster designed to kill its passengers. In 2010, it was designed and made into a scale model by Julijonas Urbonas, a PhD candidate at the Royal College of Art in London. Urbonas, who has worked at an amusement park, stated that the goal of his concept roller coaster is to take lives "with elegance and euphoria". As for practical applications of his design, Urbonas mentioned "euthanasia" or "execution". John Allen, who served as president of the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, inspired Urbonas with his description of the "ultimate" roller coaster as one that "sends out 24 people and they all come back dead". As it would kill its passengers, it was criticised by the anti-euthanasia association Care Not Killing.

get cows predisposed to do wps like hang gliding and mountain climbing. feed them well, let them chill in a little cow skateboard park. fertilize they grass with mountain dew. and then when its time to go out, throw them in the big cow coaster in the sky.

win win.

in a bizarre wtf kinda way

i'm not totally opposed to euthanasia in general but as a roller coaster...

it's just so bizarre and random...

i mean...i guess...this makes sense...but i can't come up with a reasonable stance on it as a concept at all lol

if i was in charge of approving/disallowing things...i'd probably just shrug in confused acquiescence at this proposal

where he has cancer and is making the video for his baby son to remember him by when he's gone. i could see the concept of this roller coaster being inspired by the last scene in that movie.
