Roller Coasters

from Everything Everywhere Daily: History, Science, Geography, & More · host Gary Arndt

For over a century, people have enjoyed the thrill of visiting an amusement park and riding roller coasters. The very first thing we can point to and call a proto-roller coaster had neither rollers nor did it coast. It was more of a slide. Over time, Roller coasters have evolved into massive steel giants, testing the limits of physics and engineering to create thrilling, unique rides that thrill some and terrify others.  Learn more about the history and development of roller coasters on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
