You know how there were always those kids who when you came back to school after the summer had always done something far more productive with their time off than you and your lazing about and watching more TV than should really be humanly possible? This teen is one of those kids.

17-year-old David Chesney in Toronto, Canada spent the summer of 2012 taking old pieces of wood and fashioning his own roller coaster out of them in his back garden. 'The Minotaur' is a 'wooden, reverse lift hill, shuttle coaster', and sits one person at a time and goes up to 20km/h. What did he parents say about their back garden being hijacked for an engineering project?

According to the Toronto Star Chesney said: 'My dad didn’t like the idea at all from the beginning. Mom was kinda, ‘Uhhhh, I guess so.’ I don’t think that either of them understood the scope of what I had in mind.'

This is giving us a lot of historic shame. We barely built a swing when we were younger.
