Homemade Roller Coaster!

Posted by Madeline Holler

We should all have access to one of these -- a homemade roller coaster.

An auto mechanic, with, I'm guessing tons of property insurance, built a roller coaster in his backyard! He used scrap metal and his welding skills and figured the rest out as he went.

Guess what. It works! And no one has suffered injury or death while riding it. Oh, and he let's his grandkid ride on it (every parent's nightmare of a grandfather, every child's dream of a grandpa.)

Watch the video. There's even a 360-degree loop.

I've never made a rollercoaster but I did once design a interactive fairground ride.
