A teenager designed a real backyard roller coaster. Not in a simulator. Not out of PVC pipes for fun. This is a legit homemade roller coaster, complete with airtime, drops, and full sends, hidden deep in the woods.
The story behind it is just as wild. Years ago he built roller coasters in his backyard in New Jersey but they kept getting shut down by the state. So this time he built in secret. New location. No permits. Just raw talent and a love for thrills.
This DIY coaster is unlike anything I have ever seen. It is not a backyard project with pool noodles and garden hose rails. It is a functioning full scale backyard roller coaster that was designed by one person and built by a group of teenagers.
In this video I travel out to a hidden spot to ride this secret roller coaster and learn how they pulled it off. If you have ever searched for backyard roller coasters homemade roller coasters or DIY coasters this is the kind of story you never expect to be real.
This is not a build tutorial. It is not a review. It is a front row seat to something most people would not believe if they did not see it. A working roller coaster designed by a teenager built in secret and hidden in the woods.
