In the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown, inspired by a flurry of YouTube tutorials, Bjorn Burton took on an exciting challenge—he built a roller coaster in his backyard. With his father’s help, he engineered this thrilling ride after rigorous safety trials with concrete bags. Now that the neighborhood kids have outgrown it, Bjorn is ready to sell the coaster, already envisioning a future project for when he welcomes grandchildren.
