Here's a life-size Pinfari ZL42. It moves faster in places than the real thing due to having to deal with PC friction. And despite all the headchoppers, it has negligible fear to go with its lackluster excitement. This is a kiddie ride despite the neck-breaking circular loop.

This was made with a Looney Turns track (simple track, looping, and kid-friendly) with Invincible cars. It's about the smallest life-size coaster it's currently possible to make and the primary inaccuracies are due to the irreducible mass of the station. It has no theming whatsoever or even a station--I leave that as an excercise of the interested student.
The real ride was designed to be portable and has 2 ballast tanks full of water, 1 on each end in the center of the turns, to hold the ride still on the ground. It's cheaper and easier to get water on-site than to haul that much weight around. Most permanently mounted examples only have 1 tank at the station end, as I've built it here, and often have turned it into some sort of fountain. But some permanent examples have both tanks and have usually filled them with sand instead of water. There are also some permanent examples with no tanks at all as they don't really need them. I've included the 2nd tank for them as want it.
