      This guy's Art Work is just lovely. But the Roller Coaster is a Huge 2 Thumbs Up. I am not just a Roller Coaster Enthusiast, I am also a Woman's Bobsleder (actually because of Roller Coasters). This fellow is definetly the coolest Grandpa Ever. Keep showing posts about some of his other inventions. Great Work and Thank You.

    Thats pretty awesome for a backyard coaster, its short but very intense! My only thought was why the lift hill part was right at the end, cause it goes down and then the ride is over. What would be perfect is if once you went down that, you kept going around the track over and over again, which could be accomplished by having a motorized wheel at the front of the track where it stopped, that way you could go around several times without stopping, but also simply turn the wheel 's motor off to stop like normal. Just my imagination going wild, don't mind me!

    Not sure how this video came up in my recommended, maybe because I was watching an abandoned Six Flags video lol...But honestly, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! It never even occurred to me that someone could build their own mini roller coaster in their yard! (The spinny ride looks fun too!)
    I want to thankyou (and Gary) for sharing this. I've been pretty depressed and lost lately, but this video put a big smile on my face! It was just so wholesome, and fun, and really creative and inspirational actually 😃
