SearchThe covid lockdown in the spring of this year created time for people to take up a hobby, spring clean, decorate a room or two or plant a garden. But in Napa CA, a whole different project took shape.
Sean LaRochelle, clearly could not visit Disneyland at this time, but felt inspired to build his own rollercoaster taking the famous Disney Matterhorn ride as a model for inspiration. There’s a waterfall, a cave, several steep drops and even an animatronic Yeti whose creepy eyes glow in the dark.
It took four months for LaRochelle, a graduate architecture student, to complete the project with help from family members (his brother apparently “the mechanical genius”) and friends.
Watch the video to see the path of the single car ride and admire the ingenuity of his backyard adventure.
