How Roller Coasters Were Invented
By Kyle Lueck
Have you ever rode on a roller coaster? Have you ever wondered where it all started ? Well now, thanks to this article, you can! The First roller coasters were invented in the 16th century in Russia by sliding on a wooden board down ice hills up to seventy feet tall! Then jumps and other other obstacles were put in later. This idea was imported from Russia to France, where the ice melted, so they used waxed boards instead.
Then tracks were added to the idea, when Russians added wood- metal parts to connect to carts.Then in 1830, twists, turns, and many more obstacles. Soon later, many injuries were caused from these obstacles, so a rope latch was attached to prevent people from flying off, and then..... the basic roller coaster was created! These roller coaster became main tourist attractions in places like New York and California, and soon there were over 2000 amusement parks around the US, that's over 50,000! It's amazing how a simple idea soon became a worldwide phenomenon!
