You’ve probably seen makeshift roller coasters in classrooms or countless homemade varieties. But an indoor roller coaster in an office? That’s a first—and for good reason.
Every square inch of office space is usually reserved for things like desks, printers, or maybe a sad ficus in the corner. But at The Great Exhibition in Stockholm, they’ve turned “thinking outside the box” into “riding a coaster inside the office.”
Meet The Frontal Lobe, a fully functioning, 200-foot (61-meter) long roller coaster made of four tons of red-lacquered steel. This isn’t just some gimmick.
It’s a loud, winding path that zips over desks, through the kitchen, and past the social media department at a cool 10 feet (3 meters) high. It’s not a productivity hack, but let’s face it—neither is awkwardly pretending to like yoga at your desk.
Built as a rebellion against AI-generated content and creative stagnation, this coaster is more than a joyride. It’s a US$150,000 statement about embracing the human factor in design, complete with a double-brake system and a bell to warn your coworkers you’re about to fly past their microwave lunches.
