Pa. grandfather in legal battle over backyard coaster

MILLVILLE, COLUMBIA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) - Some people build swing sets for their grandkids… but Michael Chorba of Columbia County 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, because officials say it violates local zoning laws.
