MILLVILLE, Pa. (WBRE/WYOU) — Some people build swing sets for their grandkids but Michael Chorba of Columbia County, Pennsylvania, has taken that a step further. He's refurbished an old rollercoaster on his property. However, keeping the ride has been a journey full of twists and turns. "Some people collect or buy antique cars or fix them up," Chorba told Nexstar's WBRE/WYOU. "This is very similar, it's just a lot more fun." Chorba has a yard full of refurbished amusement park rides for his grandkids to enjoy. "They really enjoy this. I do this for them. You can't put a price on memories," he explained. His most recent addition? A mini rollercoaster. Chorba and his family have been making updates to the machine since 2023. "Completely tore it apart, degreased it, painted, reupholstered all new seats and new stainless steel hardware," he explained. Lap bars are on the way to finalize the renovations, however, it's been a bumpy ride keeping the coaster in action. Chorba owns the land where the ride sits, but it's zoned as agricultural, putting it in violation of local zoning laws. Chorba says it's been an unexpected uphill process getting the permits for the coaster. After Chorba received the violation, he attended a hearing, where the decision received a split vote from the board, keeping the coaster in violation. "We filed an appeal in a timely manner and we're just waiting for the next process of that appeal," he said. The Mount Pleasant Township zoning officer told WBRE/WYOU that the appeal went to the county court before being sent back to the township. Now, the township is waiting on a court order to hold a second hearing. This leaves the fate of Chorba's coaster in limbo. "Ultimately, if it fails, they would fine me and at that point, I would have to try and disassemble and try and find a new buyer for the coaster." Chorba, who says the community has rallied around him online, hopes he can keep the coaster on its tracks for his family to enjoy for years to come.
