Roller Coasters have been the "must ride" attraction at amusement & theme parks for more than a century. With just one look, it's obvious why roller coasters are often called "scream machines". What began as a simple car that rolled down a hill, has evolved into an engineering marvel. Roller coasters are taller, faster and wilder than ever. The tallest is the size of a modern skyscraper. The fastest travels at nearly twice the highway speed limit. So if they're so big and fast, intimidating and scary, then why do we ride roller coasters?
