17-Year-Old Builds Roller Coaster in Backyard

A 17-year-old thrill seeker just built his own roller coaster right in his New Jersey backyard.It took Sammy Trechak a year to finish the coaster. The coaster, named "Shadow Stalker," is complete with a 10-foot drop and there's never a waiting line to ride it. The ride can even reach almost 20 miles per hour. Inside Edition's Alison Hall has more.

Bro’s making Phineas And Ferb into a reality

Engineer in the making, he’s going places.

I really hope he's going to go to school for engineering. He's got a gift. Also, good job parents. This is what supported parenting is. 👏 ❤

Talented young Man!! My best friends Father built a go cart race track in the field behind our houses and that was freaking fun so I can imagine how much fun this has to be!! I bet he will soon be extremely popular among his friends 😊

Talented kid! I gladly wish I could ride on his homemade roller coaster! He deserves a golden medal for all the attention of his work! 🎉

A college or university need to give him a 4 year scholarship for Engineering!! Love this and it does look like fun.😊

At 17 I could barely build a blanket fort

Imagine if this guy had bigger space in his backyard, he would make his entire house an amusement park.

A real life Phineas and Ferb? This can't be real

[pepsidude]

This reminds me of Phineas and Ferb since they also built a rollercoaster in their own backyard too!

His future is definitely bright! He's amazingly talented at this age. Just imagine what he's going to do in the years ahead. ❤️

Sammy is a true young engineer & a great friend. Was so cool to see this in the works 🥃

Phineas and Ferb, eat your hearts out ✌️😂

State Farm: Sir, your homeowners policy doesn't cover death or dismemberment from roller coasters in your backyard.

[johnsterling]

Give that kid a full scholarship to an engineering program.

[nickalvizo]

That’s incredible man, this dude’s gonna have a bright future ahead of him, & I wish him the best of luck with that

"Ferb I think I know what we're wanna do today."

[ohiorichkidbeats]

I'd charge $5 for a ride if I was him, might help pay for trade school or college because he's talented for sure

[seanagulan]

Great job building the homemade coaster.
