Backyard Roller Coaster | Indiana Oddities

When John Ivers retired, he wanted a project to entertain his grandchildren. His solution has attracted visitors from across the globe: his very own coaster!

[@alexmauney9705]

By technical means, this is the smallest roller coaster with an inversion.

[@chasesumner8571]

True

[@makutamiserix5612]

There is a smaller one.

[@flosbyre2575]

@@makutamiserix5612 which one?

[@williamhanna4823]

There was one on a Rose Parade float some time ago. I don’t remember just when.

[@onlyguy_]

I remember seeing a homemade roller coaster that was just a drop into a turn into a 0 g roll then back to the lifthill somewhere on the internet

[@MattyIcecubes]

Coolest grandpa ever!

[@Free_koevoet]

Chef Danger I now

[@woahthateas100]

I wish my grandpa did that to me

[@scream9973]

Yup

[@Its2relatable]

Grandpas are always 😎 cool

[@MattyIcecubes]

@@Its2relatable Yes they are. Sadly, my paternal grandfather passed away 5 years before I was born, and my maternal grandfather passed away when I was 7 :(

[@physicsimpossible73]

I can't believe it has a loop!!! Best Backyard roller coaster ever!!

[@DougCeleste]

This is no doubt a fine one but Dion Collins' former backyard coaster (which is on KZbin!!!) is the BEST in my opinion. If you have not seen that one, check it out!!!

[@DougCeleste]

***** Sorry but I disagree with you. Oh well, to each their own.

[@DougCeleste]

***** Yes, this one has a couple of great features that Dion's does not have but what I love about his is all the twists and turns and the speeds that his coaster goes. Dion told me that he no longer lives on the property but he got almost 900,000 KZbin replies from people who wanted to know where this coaster was and who wanted to ride it, too. Obviously, that info was never divulged for privacy concerns. However, this guy in Indiana with this coaster has been nice enough to invite people from this country and all over the world to ride his coaster and that is very nice of him, though I wonder if they have to first sign some sort of waiver to say that they accept full responsibility for injury in case something happens.

[@onlyguy_]

It's a corkscrew

[@BazBaz_Mhm]

It’s not a korkscrew@@onlyguy_

[@The_Nerdo]

​@BazBaz_Mhm erm actually it is, if it was a loop it be more straight but the thing is more to the right so it's a corkscrew

[@AcappEd]

Backyard coaster . Seems nice . Hope to see a track expansion one day .

[@sidneygaming1721]

love this

[@StitchGV]

I have a SERIOUS hard time with roller coasters, even the smaller ones.. But I wish there was a way to practice on smaller drops and loops, and gradually and work my way up to a normal-sized coaster.. (As of now, you either got a baby coaster that doesn't drop or loop, or a big coaster with a 20-foot drop, or a GIANT coaster with a 100-foot-drop and a loop/spiral. That's not a very smooth transition..) This one would be PERFECT! I wish I could ride it.. 😔

[@chi-townconcerts3485]

If you live near or are in the Chicago area one day try the wiser then demon then viper then superman then x flight then batman then the American eagle then Goliath then raging bull look up all of these coasters on KZbin at six flags great America that is the order of how I got going at age 7

[@meganfletcher7856]

StitchGV same!

[@RemixedVoice]

It's funny because you're infinitely more likely to get hurt on this coaster than you are at an actual amusement park.

[@xenomorphbiologist-xx1214]

Technically it’s a corkscrew, not a loop but it’s still awesome

[@thisdude9033]

This is the sweetest thing ever

[@InsaneCoaster]

This guy should make a smaller version of a classic Arrow Corkscrew coaster. That would be amazing (and probably smoother than a real Arrow coaster!)
