Wooden roller coaster

"Life can be like a roller coaster...and just when you think you've had enough, and you're ready to get off the ride and take the calm, easy merry-go round...you change your mind, throw your hands in the air and ride the roller coaster all over again", says Stacey Charter.

the air and people cheered. The endless pile of wood used to form a track shook violently as we ran over it, finally leaving the hill and forming a 76° angle with the ground…54 meters above comfort. Adrenaline raced through my veins faster than the coaster cart on the tracks; the whistle tone of the wind sang in harmony with the shrieks of fellow riders. My heart beat juxtaposed with my train, rising sky high as we plummeted towards the ground. WOOSH! An iPhone 6S zipped past my face as it…

Why do we go on roller coasters? Well it is probably because the moment you exit one and regain your senses, you hesitate and then you get right back in line to do it again.

We ran in, excited, and immediately ran to the biggest water ride of all. The line was long, but it was worth the wait. Even the line was fun, because we were constantly splashed with water.

The roller coaster: a device that has been around since the early 17th century. It has immensely changed since it’s origins though. Its size, shape, structure, and overall look has developed into what we know and (for some) love today. Its gargantuan size originated from a way of ice sledding, believe it or not. Though it looks very different today, the first design was only a slide, on an icy path. Even back then though it was not one for changes. Soon after the first invention of the roller…
