The coolest! This guy built a roller coaster in his backyard.

"Over the tool shed, under the elm tree, and around the rose bushes - all in 30 seconds. It’s the "Blue Flash," a homemade roller coaster John Ivers constructed in his backyard. Next Big Thing contributor Matt Power visits Ivers in rural Indiana to find out what kind of man builds his own roller coaster."
