A California resident decided that if he couldn’t get to Disneyland this summer, then he would do what he could to bring a little bit of the magic to his own property. The result is something that looks like it belongs in an actual theme park.
Sean LaRochelle, who is studying architecture, and his brother built a personalized version of his favorite Disneyland rollercoaster, the Matterhorn, ABC 7 reports. The brothers reportedly started working on the coaster in March and finished it over the summer. The theme park has been closed since March.
“I always wanted to build a ride and Disney rides are always special to me because they're themed, they tell a unique story,” LaRochelle told the news outlet.

LaRochelle says that he tried to include every detail he could from the actual ride, including the infamous yeti.
