Identify Roller Coasters
There are different types of roller coasters ranging from inverted ones to standing up roller coasters. The types of coasters that I will talk about today is the wooden, steel, inverted, and standing up roller coasters. First of all, the wooden roller coaster has its perks and it’s difficulties. This kind gives a swaying feeling that is supposed to make the passengers feel “unsafe”. Successfully, this action will make the experience have more of an adrenaline feel. A problem with this type of roller coaster is that the cumbersome, heavy track unables the design to have complex twists and turns. The track of wooden coasters mostly consists of the motion going up and down, also know as hills. An example of a wooden roller coaster would be the Ghost Rider in Knotts Berry Farm and Goliath in Six Flags. Another type of coaster is the steel roller coasters. Steel roller coasters were first introduced in the 1950s. Unlike the wooden roller coasters, steel roller coasters are able to hold crazy loops and turns. Fun fact, this type of roller coaster holds most of the Guinness World Records for fastest, steepest, and longest roller coasters.

This coaster is exactly how it sounds, which the passenger is on the roller coaster standing up instead of sitting down. The different experience of possibly fear and adrenaline simultaneously while standing up while in motion. This type of roller coaster generally requires a height limit because of the set up. This all started in Japan in 1979 called Dangai. The safety of this ride is generally a harness that is mounted of vertical posts that allows different heights of passengers. The stand up roller coasters can feature different designs like vertical loops, incline loops, corkscrews, and dive loops. Some roller coasters that you can find today are either closed or are still operated like the Cobra or Green
