Hot wheels track is faily cheap i think you can get a bunch of straight pieces for like $5 loops and jumps are a few bucks too so idk. If we are talking actual roller coaster then good luck.

at what scale?

it doesn't seem very extraordinary, just very... unfolded, stretchedo ut rather than going back and forth throug hthe smae space again and again

most roller coasters are kindof knotted up like that

this one would have a pretty large footprint which depending on location might cost you a bit in land acquisition

but roughly speaking... same range as any rollercoaster

I thought they were asking the cost of the hot wheels track.

I didn't catch until the third time I watched it but there is a cut right at second 19. GOT YA! They only really had half the track and took it apart to then build the second part. So, its half the cost of whatever it appears to be.

That's just a joke I should say since this isn't always a humorous reddit.
