He built his first roller coaster when he was in the 5th grade and did do some upgrades to it in the 6th grade, then a year later decided to take it down and start fresh with his new one. Just before COVID started Sammy went to work on the “Shadow Stalker. He did have a very close friend come over to give him some help.
Before building this he did check in with the state of NJ and the town to make sure no permits were needed and making sure it was 100% safe for all riders. This roller coaster is considered a play structure and no one is charged to ride it, plus it is on private property.

Sammy does have a lot of attention from getting this built, because he has been letting his friends, schoolmates, and acquaintances ride the “Shadow Stalker.” Now you do have to put your signature on a waiver before taking a spin on it.
This amazing project took Sammy a year to build, when he started back in April last year and did have some colder months that he couldn’t work on it such as November and December, plus he had his school studies to attend to. This kid has been getting many request from people on social media to get a ride on it.

Six Flags should really think about looking at this kid and getting some ideas and getting him on the payroll over there.
