Roller coaster
(gcide) | Roller coaster \Roller coaster\
An amusement railroad of varying design in which open cars
coast by gravity over a long winding track in a closed
circuit, with steep pitches and ascents, and in some cases
loops in which the cars are briefly upside-down; typically,
the cars are pulled by a chain device to the top of the first
peak, after which gravity and momentum provide the only
propulsive forces. In some cases, the cars are suspended from
a monorail rather than resting on a track, and such cars may
be made to swing outward at an angle near to the horizontal.
It is a popular amusement at many amusement parks, but is
sufficiently frightening to some people that they refuse to
ride in one.
