Roller Coaster Day


Layla's picture

Today is Roller Coaster Day. On this day in 1898 the verticle loop roller coaster was patented.  Roller coasters are a great thrill rides with all of their twist and turns.  The best part of course is the screaming till you can't breath.  Of course you have to be a bit of a daredevil and tall enough to be allowed on the rides.  If you know a daring little one who would love to ride a roller coaster but is not tall enough, this Extreme Coaster from Leaps and Bounds is a great gift for the future roller coaster enthusiast.

Extreme?

They call this thing extreme? Well, back in my day the backyard roller coasters were made of metal and didn't require one of those wussy crash helmets. We didn't have anything to cushion the fall at the end either. And the first person to go down it every day got to find out where the pine cones were hidden in the grass...

Wimps.
