Roller coasters are capable of producing thrills and excitement that few other experiences can replicate.
Believe it or not, roller coasters are only about 150 years old, though they have their roots in Russian ice sledding and railway systems that are a couple of hundred years old. The first coaster on Coney Island could only reach top speeds of about 6 miles per hour, whereas today’s fastest coaster, Formula Rossa, achieves a peak velocity of 149 miles per hour.
