I would imagine that most parks employees have no clue as to what it takes to build a coaster like that. It takes some serious engineering calculations to make sure that train of cars is going to do everything it needs to do and get back to the station or next lift hill.
Is he really experienced enough to design a full scale ride that is safe with his amateur experience? Probably not but he can gain a lot of working firsthand knowledge in the field that his peers who stay in class won’t experience.
they might once he finishes school. Also most of the engineering is done by the manufacturer, so in the case of twisted cyclone that would be Rocky Mountain Construction
What a great opportunity for him. More companies should offer behind the scenes tours for kids and teens who show promise and an interest in their field. There are so many professions that are in danger of dying out because kids don't have the time to be kids and explore anymore. All of the things that I did as a child in school no longer exist. Like career days or factory tours. Home economics and woodshop. I wanted to be a quality control worker at frito lays for the longest after visiting their plant and finding out that they paid good money for people to taste random potato chips lol. There's no hope in bringing back American jobs if we lack a skilled workforce.
Every year, we visited the Wonder Bread Company and Brach's Candy Company and got the cutest, tiniest loaves of bread and, of course, candy. Brach's also held a pancake breakfast for law enforcement after the parade for fallen officers every year. When they demolished it in the Batman movie it was like demolishing a part of my childhood. I wonder if children still visit the police academy; that was my favorite.
Agree with this so much. When I was school we had home economics, woodshop, etc. Having a skilled job used to be a respectable profession. Then some folks decided everyone needed a college degree and you were worthless if you didn't have a "professional" job/career. I'm glad to see this young man using his brain instead of some of the other tik tok trash I see!
@@MrsThollo we don't have any candy companies here that I know of but we do have Franz bread headquartered here and the whole neighborhood near the bakery smelled good. We had a wonder bread outlet store though where everything cost ten cents and A&W root beer near the beach where you could taste fresh root beer on tap. As kids we always wanted to do those jobs and the companies were great at fostering interest. My family has a good mix of white and blue collar workers. My nephew works as some kind of mechanic that works on specialized equipment and his job is paying for his master's degree. My cousin's husband did the same thing as an engineer. He's been with the same company his entire working career. And now my 15 year old wants to drive a truck after high school. College isn't his thing and I'm okay with that. He hasn't had the same opportunities that I did to learn about the trades and decide what he would like to do.
Everyone who has ever called you a nerd in high school has benefitted from 'nerd-dom' in some way or another. Anything from the smartphone in their hand, the video games they play, their laptop or that big screen tv. So when classmates call you a nerd just realize you will the star at the class reunion 10 yrs later when they realize where you work and how much you make.
Amen and also remember to just ignore idiots like that the only thing that matters in your life is you because no matter how awesome you are or how good you are at what you do, there will always be haters trying to hold you back for a reason. Because they see how much more knowledge you have. So to all the kids still in school whether college or down remember to ignore people that are trying to knock you off your course 🙏❤️ amen and peace and love!
@@zammmerjammer Well of course there are exceptions to the rule for anything. Even not so smart people can become president. The chances are greatly increased when a person is smarter
Kudos to this young man! It is great to see his imagination and aspiration are at work.. and play. Rollercoasters make smiles happen. Imagine the Butterfly Effect will ripple the globe
So, I was totally expecting the owner to offer him a job after completion of college. That seems like the logical thing here. I was kind of disappointed by the ending. All is well though.
Any time you hear about Six Flags doing anything, it's typically disappointing and this falls in that category. He should have been offered an internship with RMC (the company that turned Georgia Cyclone into Twisted Cyclone) or at least tuition assistance, he is obviously extremely talented. But no, all he gets is a chat and a piece of paper.
Umm WOW! The effort and dedication is amazing! Smart, handsome, and full of dreams! Shout out to all the GA State students/alumni 😌💙🐆 He will make a great husband one day!
This has been done like 10 yrs ago and it was made with iron and it actually worked like a real roller coaster. The video is on here I think it was grandpa made rollercoaster for grand daughter
I hope when he makes rollercoasters for amusements parks in the future he'll make them indoor rollercoasters like Space Mountain or hell finally make an indoor coaster for Six Flags, tired of all the coasters being outdoors where we get scorched by the sun or hit by bird poops.
This is cool, perhaps if i had more experience I might’ve become a rollercoaster engineer/architect like I wanted when I was little. Of course it was just cause of RCTycoon lol, no idea if I would’ve stomached all the math
Those that say they should give him a job, he still needs training. Maybe after college they will. He can use this build as maybe proof he wants to do it.
It's less a rollercoaster than it is a cart on slightly elevated tracks though. A rollercoaster needs atleast one full revolution or atleast one more forward momentum drop after the initial drop for it to be a Rollercoaster
THAT WAS A DANG ROLLERCOASTER!??? 😂. Everyone’s standards have gotten ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUSLY LOW. However, I’m happy he got to meet and probably get an AWESOME internship out of one semester in school! If all who have actually done more than putting together a tapered coffee table in our back yard with a damn ROLLER TRUCK to sit on, on the top could get the same attention We might could, ALL MAKE IT!!!!?
They should offer him an internship so he can learn more about rollercoaster engineering
I would imagine that most parks employees have no clue as to what it takes to build a coaster like that.
It takes some serious engineering calculations to make sure that train of cars is going to do everything it needs to do and get back to the station or next lift hill.
If he applies I doubt he would get rejected.
This is just a free ad to them. No one cares what the kid built.
@@jj987987987 exactly
Most engineers dont want to go into rollercoaster engineering, it's extremely specific and not endless work unlike bridges, housing, etc.
Back in the day they would have given him a job lol
Well he met the engineer.... who knows what or who he connecting him with while they had a man to man talk.
Well, he's certainly made an impression on the company and the chief engineer. We can hope he got a good connection out of it at least.
Is he really experienced enough to design a full scale ride that is safe with his amateur experience? Probably not but he can gain a lot of working firsthand knowledge in the field that his peers who stay in class won’t experience.
@@ThePhobiaCrew well I didn't say to make him lead engineer lol
they might once he finishes school. Also most of the engineering is done by the manufacturer, so in the case of twisted cyclone that would be Rocky Mountain Construction
I planned for 1 week but it took 3 weeks, he'll fit right in as an engineer
Truth
😭
Who else thought they were gonna give him a season pass or free rides for a year or something like that
Ngl I'd reject that, six flags rides are Hella sketchy.
yeah how crappy all he got was a sweet contact that can line him up with an amazing internship or something
Why would he get free stuff?
@@javienelmore3182 huh?
As much as building materials has increased he got a fortune just in lumber
Unfortunately yes
@@UlexiteTVStoneLexite wdym “unfortunately”
@@adew6332 unfortunately the price of lumber has skyrocketed.
Facts
Facts in fl lumber prices went up 300%

I agree.
What a nice young man.. l’m sure his parents are extremely proud of him. ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Amazing! I would love to see more young people experiment like this. Some people are just creative
God is creative too because he created you 😍
Google it there are many back yard coasters even bigger he is far from the first
Also, stuff like that is expensive. I use to build things like this for my barbies, ect, but didn’t have the money to build anything else.
Point is, there are creative people out there who don’t have the resources to follow through on their creative projects.
If the guy who made that rollercoaster sees this comment, i commend you my friend very good job
6 flags just did the biggest flex on this kid. “O let me show you what a real roller coast looks like”

He was probly the most popular kid🙂
LOL. Just because you're a "nerd" doesn't mean you will be rich and popular as an adult.
But keep living the teen movie fantasy, I guess.
@@zammmerjammer Well of course there are exceptions to the rule for anything. Even not so smart people can become president. The chances are greatly increased when a person is smarter
@@zammmerjammer you sound triggered? Called some people nerds back in your day?
That's awesome, that's a career skill some colleges could offer to teach, if someone was interested in working for an amusement park. He's smart.
Kid is on the right path good luck to him we need more kids like this out there
THIS IS HOW GOOD PEOPLE ACT IN THE SOCIETY
Wow, they gave him a tour? Stellar, definitely think he should be given a better opportunity like an internship or job lol
Kudos to this young man! It is great to see his imagination and aspiration are at work.. and play. Rollercoasters make smiles happen. Imagine the Butterfly Effect will ripple the globe
Bless this young man, and those who recognized his talent and dedication.💛
Seeing that preliminary seat go off the track...😳!
that's why public roller coasters have upstop wheels under the track
@@themagicboy6548 some still de rail but extremely rare. I love rollercoasters! Whoever first thought of one, you're my hero(s)!
@@tlwest21 last one I saw was ninja at magic mountain when a tree branch fell on the track
mY BAcK
I thought they were gonna offer him a job.
They will....notice how he wasn't BLACK? He will get the job cause they racist!!!!
@@YouMockMe huh, makes no sense
@@YouMockMe dawg what
He hasn't finished his education yet
@@jacoblyman5359: I meant for future.
Small snapshots in time can inspire a hole lifetime
They should offer him a job. Obviously he's going to build amazing rollercoasters in his lifetime.
Very talented!!!

WAY 2 GO SO PROUD OF U!! YOUNG PEOPLE ROCK OUT 2 A DREAM AND IMAGINATION🦋🙉😺

KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING YOU'RE A GREAT MAN GOD BLESS YOU....👍👍👍👍✌✌✌✌.... STAY SAFE BRO
That's how you get free nation wide advertisement right there
Forget the rollercoaster, jeez look at that house!
This was probably one of his best days
Wondering if I can build a nice one in my NYC projects...
We take the mattress off tha bed as kids an slide down the steps right out the front door that shit was so fun 😂
A cardboard box on carpeted stairs worked good too!
Dude just wanted to feel a rush when he was stoned but didn’t want to drive to 6 flags so he built this in his back yard.
I hope they at least gave him a season pass too
Much success to you my friend 💯💯✔️
This is an ultimate fun dream job when I was a kid
Awl this was a nice update he is gonna be a great engineer
Well that's cool as hell! Bright future for this young man!
The “experts” at six flags over georgia
Great job young man following your dream
This has been done like 10 yrs ago and it was made with iron and it actually worked like a real roller coaster. The video is on here I think it was grandpa made rollercoaster for grand daughter
Good For Him!!!

I used to watch homemade roller coaster videos back in 2013 hoping one day I could make one. I guess they are making a comeback...
This is such a local news thing
Mad love that's great ❤️ ,
That’s sweet! 🔥💯
Who else was expecting something more than a ramp? 🤦🏾♂️
I don’t just get on a roller coaster and go.. I watch from a distance for a few and wait to see if it breaks down or anything and then go for it.
Rollercoasters are pretty safe becuse of how they are built
@@lunawolfheart336 have you ever seen one get stuck upside down? Yeaaa no thanks
@@facehunter504 no. That literally happened once
@@facehunter504 and rollercoasters breaking down doesn’t make em dangerous
@@demonghost6361 no it’s happening dozens and dozens of times. Look it up
Wow 19yr old kid. Very smart
Good for this young man. And to all the haters, hey he's not out murdering Uber Eats drivers!
Great job young man !!!
He built a slide wow good job
How much do you charge to ride THAT IS AWESOME 😎
This is cool, perhaps if i had more experience I might’ve become a rollercoaster engineer/architect like I wanted when I was little. Of course it was just cause of RCTycoon lol, no idea if I would’ve stomached all the math
We have a really nice surprise for you
You get to meet the engineer for 6 flags
This is absolutely Dope...
Wait till his home owners insurance finds out.
Hahaha..... that’s amazing! What will he think of next?
Those that say they should give him a job, he still needs training. Maybe after college they will. He can use this build as maybe proof he wants to do it.
I was expecting them to show up at his house and take a good look at his work in person to see where, if anything, he could improve on.
That’s all I think about is the behind the scenes of an amusement park when I’m attending one.
Me: Mom, I want to go to Six Flags
Mom: We have Six Flags at home
Six Flags at home:
Bruh wtf is that at 0:51? The tailbone crusher?
Lmfaoooooooooooo
Lol
Way to go ben!!!!!!!!!🙂😊😬🙂🙂🙂🙂
I love this!!!
Awesome
like that one movie
Real life Phinese and Ferb
This guy is already a pro builder... thought it would take a week- took 3
Twisted cyclone is made by rmc aka rocky mountain contruction fun fact
I’m in my second year of community and this guy is 2-5 steps ahead of me and is about to graduat?!
Who says over instead of in? My bad if that title makes sense, but that seems so off.
So this is just an ad for six flags?
Good job
That’s awesome, I wanna ride 🤣🤣🤣
The greatest information I learned from this clip is that apparently Six Flags, is actually Six Flags Over Georgia 🤷🏾♂️
What?
Wooden Roller Coaster 5 looks too intense for me!
The twisted cyclone is some serious
What's his youtube? Funny how this news station doesn't tell us...
Am I the only one who thought the surprise was that they offered him a job?
Reminds me of Action Park. But probably safer.
Inside edition already did this a couple months ago
It's less a rollercoaster than it is a cart on slightly elevated tracks though. A rollercoaster needs atleast one full revolution or atleast one more forward momentum drop after the initial drop for it to be a Rollercoaster

We might could,
ALL MAKE IT!!!!?
anyone can build a bridge.. but it takes an engineer to build one that almost doesn't fall down.
Love you 😘
Oh this was nice.
0:37 Bruh, did he use Gametoon’s Friday night funkin episode music???? Lol just a joke btw.
This is the dude from TikTok right?
Dope💪🏾
SIX FLAGS OVER TEXAS: Exits chat
Larry needs to engineer his mask to be over his nose...
I like that roller coaster. 😏
2 cool.
I didn't even know six flag was still a thing.
The title is really hard to understand.
Why did I think it said Six Flags sues him at first !?!?!😩😩
Looks like six flags is recruiting him lol
Six flags also uses pvc and wood to repair their coasters
