POV: You Spent $100,000 On Your Backyard Rollercoaster This has got to be the coolest backyard coaster I've ever seen. What's your name and what do you do? My name is Sean. I'm an architect by day, and I build rollercoasters by night. Did you perhaps build this rollercoaster that's behind us? I did help build this coaster, but it was definitely a team effort. Took a lot of people. What do you think was the hardest part about putting this whole thing together? This is by far the most complex track we have ever built. The most compound turns, UPS and downs. It might actually be the tallest rollercoaster we ever made. But also, we had to fabricate this all off site and then bring it on site. And just for context, we built this in Virginia, and I drove it all the way across the country back here in California. What do you think was the biggest unexpected challenge that we faced? The track didn't quite go as we had planned it, and so we ended up expanding the footprint a little bit. For example the plan had the track going around a tree, but now the track goes through a completely other tree. It goes around a cooler tree lowkey I think it all turned out for the best. It's gonna be better. So when this thing is actually done, do you think Mr. Beast we'll end up riding it? He better ride it. This has got to be the coolest backyard coaster I've ever seen. I mean, it's- It's gonna be epic. If he doesn't ride it, he's gonna miss out! Mr. Beast, please ride my rollercoaster
