Frontrunner for ‘World’s Greatest Grandad’ builds awesome backyard theme park (VIDEO)

Gregg has been documenting the extensive building process on YouTube over the past two years, and subsequently shaming every regular grandad out there.

By YouTube standards, the risky business of building custom rollercoasters in the backyard has become somewhat of a trend – and without the supervision of an experienced engineer, quite possibly a disaster waiting to happen.
