With many amusement parks currently closed, thrill seekers are stuck trying to come up with new ways to pump up their adrenaline. However, one teen wasn’t ready to go any longer without getting on a roller coaster, so he decided to build one of his own. Now, that teen has gone viral after sharing clips of his homemade backyard roller coaster.
As seen in the now viral video, the teen rides through the 100 ft. roller coaster, going from him home’s deck, all the way through their backyard. “I was absolutely terrified. But I guess because I built it, I knew how sturdy it was. So, I was pretty confident I'd be OK, but I was screaming my head off. It was crazy," said Ben Tolliday, the teen who used his boredom as an excuse to build a roller coaster. According to UPI, the ride was built using wooden beams, PVC pipe, cinder blocks and sandbags.
It took Tolliday three weeks to build the ride, and he is even thinking about adding more to it. The teen even got his mom to give the roller coaster a try. Soon, everyone in the neighborhood will want to go on the ride as well.
