Theme parks cost an arm and a leg, and we won't even mention the lineups. Wouldn't it be great if you could bring the rides to your own backyard? Er, someone please tell Will Pemble that was a rhetorical question.
The dad has undertaken the DIY project of the century—building a 180ft rollercoaster on his property.
According to an article in the Metro, Pemble's pet project will sink him $3,500 (£2,075) and around 300 hours of hard work.
Documented on his blog, CoasterDad.com, Pemble describes his labour of love for his son, Lyle, which began when he suggested they build a coaster in the backyard.
"I couldn’t think of a single good reason to say no so Lyle and I headed off to the lumber yard for a few supplies."
Still undecided as to which father's ambitious DIY project is most awesome: the Tooth Fairy tooth transport or the planetarium nursery.
