You better hope Gary did not watch this video and heard "Hope I dont get murdered" (insert peace sign here)

[@kathrynkathryn5493]

This guy's Art Work is just lovely. But the Roller Coaster is a Huge 2 Thumbs Up. I am not just a Roller Coaster Enthusiast, I am also a Woman's Bobsleder (actually because of Roller Coasters). This fellow is definetly the coolest Grandpa Ever. Keep showing posts about some of his other inventions. Great Work and Thank You.

[@jessicadittman6798]

Guess what I'm going to a conversation, I really love your videos are very cool. Like you, you're really cool.

[@jessicadittman6798]

I really love your videos, I lose you like you can be a KZbin, just like you, very good.

Definitely a hidden gem backyard coaster. Never knew of it's existence until this video

Majorly hidden gem! I couldn't believe it when I saw the article about the coaster. I had to investigate

Not only is Gary one of the best Papas ever, he is probably one of the brightest. Not just anyone can engineer a roller coaster properly and actually have it function. He obviously has a vast understanding of physics. That's a very intelligent man right there.

[@hot7725]

Agreed

[@jinchovelazquez2605]

yes anyone can, lol you just need a hill big enough to make you go around the track. not crazy physics just basic knowlege. he doesnt need the square roots of anything, just a hill. haha

[@equallise]

@@jinchovelazquez2605 he measured weight so he must have had 20000 test runs, so it doesn't only count on a hill. not only this, but he also had to make sure that the g-forces weren't too much.

[@jinchovelazquez2605]

@@equallise g force for who? please say the rider. like the hill is a 45 degree angle at 200ft in the air. lol

[@equallise]

@@jinchovelazquez2605 we were literally just talking about the coaster, if you knew, it must have been the rider. you are pretty rhetorical.

Just from the picture it didn't look like it would work, but thank you for capturing footage of Gary's awesome backyard coaster!

we just got the chance to meet Gary and ride this on Saturday! such an amazing guy and truly an insane amount of airtime on the first hill 😂😃 it also was awesome getting to see his granddaughters' joy of getting to ride it

[@AdventuresWithAlex]

Thanks Victor! It's been working out really well so far

[@hunterclyang]

Biw this at mi 🏠

[@jonny-b4954]

Amazing. Love it. One day we will see a homemade coaster that is actually engineered with proper valleys and what not. But this is amazing. That Buffallo sculpture was awesome. He's living my dream. Have a beautiful piece of land you turn into a compound where you just build shit all day.

[@MrGreatplum]

I love recommendations like this. Gary is the man!

[@EBThisThat]

Gary seems to be one incredible grandpa ! Just the fact he built this himself is surreal. That’s true dedication.

[@claudetheclaudeqc6600]

Such a big intensity for a short ride can potensially can be used in so many places in major parks, as a quite small coaster.

[@nickmcgookin247]

Ty Gray I got a smile now. 👍

[@wrong1029]

Best grandpa ever

[@danno1966]

That's such a nice thing to do for the Grandkids God bless you and your family

As an 80s kid. The is gold. We all need one of the merry go rounds in our yard.

[@tdpooh1972]

The roller coaster is SO COOL and I love the desert scenery all around it!! Gary is such a smart man.

[@TheCriminalViolin]

Okay this is just too damn cool! I love this guy already! Super creative guy who just goes out and makes whatever he conceives! There's really nothing quite as exciting about a person than someone like Gary. Total nice, creative minded eccentric.

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

We'd love to have Gary build a coaster at my palace. As much as Dennis Rodman enjoys my gaming room and hot tub, he wants something new so we'd like to invite Gary over

[@scottindestin4292]

What great fun! Gary is a very cool and great guy. What a guy to do all that for his grand kids.

[@poletooke4691]

Gary should absolutely sell that self propelled merry go round. Like, as a garage business thing, not that specific one. I'd buy one in a heartbeat. And be broke because of it, but I'd be spinning and having fun and not care 😂

[@noname-jh3bd]

That guy is a renaissance man, he's very gifted

[@jameswarren423]

Never got to know my grandfather he passed away when I was very young, would’ve been great to have a grandfather like Gary though! Garry I have to say I think your builds are incredible, you’re definitely one very talented man! Great video and thank you for sharing!👍🏼🤩🫡❤️

[@CHMin-cl5wi]

I feel this gary is my spirit animal i hope at that age ill be just as creative and willing to do stuff that others might scoff at or laugh at and prove people wrong

[@violetlight1548]

That spinning ride looks like it would be perfect in any city playground (it's certainly safer looking than the 'roundabouts' they used to have when I was a kid). I hope Gary has patented it!

[@misscandy84]

I always said if I hit lottery I'm build my own Rollercoaster in my yard be sweet

[@AdventuresWithAlex]

Yeeessss hit me up with that invite if you do 😋

[@user-un5rv5ui5c]

Back in the 60's we called it a Worley gig.. And nice Rollercoaster..

[@surveytestmoney2550]

What an absolutely amazing and awesome man/dad/grand-dad. Its too bad he became a grandfather so late in life that by the time his grandkids get really old enough to truly appreciate him, he'll be gone. Men like him are an absolutely rare. His offspring were very lucky to have a father like him.

[@panicmosem5969]

Awesome, I hope his grands understand the amount of love and time he put into this, it seems like our amazing tree house we spent 2 weeks building and then they got tired of it, the zip cord, the double hammock swing from 10', the trampoline, the pool, the hottub, their baby brother 🤣 nah, they play with them, just not as much as they should have in my opinion

[@RobertBlow]

Gary, what a man... Great engineer.

[@mattiasthorslund6467]

​@@AdventuresWithAlex What concerns me is that you got to actively stay in the seat, from what it seems. If you're not strong enough, or become unconscious, you might fall off. A four point seat belt would help with that.
