Ever dreamed of having your very own coaster? Lucky John Ivers made his dreams a reality when he built a coaster named Blue Flash in his own backyard!
The coaster features a 360 degree loop, can take a weight of up to 200 lbs, cost no more than a family holiday to Disneyland to build and seems to be a fun and more importantly, safe ride.
John, who has shared a love for roller coasters since he was just eight years old, says that he got fed up of waiting in line for over two hours for a thirty second thrill.
He has since made another backyard coaster which he has named Blue Two.
Below is a short documentary on John and his first coaster.
