Atlanta, GA (WGCL) While many Georgians took to household or craft projects to stay busy at home during the pandemic, one metro Atlanta teen did something more unique: he built a real-life roller coaster in his own backyard.
Using two-by-fours, PVC pipes, and cinder-blocks, 19-year-old aspiring engineer Ben Tolliday spent weeks building his own roller coaster, and coaster car, in his backyard.

With Spring Break upon us, I think it would be fun to write about one of my favorite topics: thrill rides! However, I have not always been a thrill-seeker, I didn t ride my first rollercoaster until I was like 20 years old. My girlfriend at the time(now my wife), forced me to get on the Road Runner Express. My response after my first ride, that was pretty intense. She just laughed. She said that s a baby rollercoaster. Don t even ask about how I reacted on my first ride on the up-hill water coaster Blastenhoff at Schlitterbahn. We don t have time for that.
