An inventive dad was able to give his young daughter a theme park experience without leaving the house.

YouTuber KentuckyFriedIdiot wrote in the comments that his daughter really wanted to go to Disney World, but visiting Mickey Mouse isn't cheap at all.

"Since it’s too expensive we did the next best thing," he wrote.

Armed with a POV roller coaster video, a plastic container, and some strong forearms, the dad created his own DIY VR roller coaster for his daughter. Judging by the giggling throughout the ride, it seems as if she loved the home version.
