American Roller Coaster by Scott Rutherford

Americans are witness to a bona fide roller coaster renaissance, and this complete history rattles through all the ups and downs of the anything-but-vertigo-inducing roller coasters of the mid-19th century to today's twisted monsters of steel and wooden retro designs. 200 illustrations, 150 in color. Step right up and thrill to the magic of the great coasters as you travel through roller coaster history from their beginnings up through today! Experience the early roots of coastering in the mid-1800s and the emergence of the grand amusement parks in the 1880s. Flash back to the golden age of coasters between 1900 and 1930, and witness the thrill rides' historic decline in the 1960s. Ride these radical rails in chapters chronicling coaster designers, manufacturing companies, technology, and special coasters. Strap yourself in for a rollicking ride and be a part of the roller coaster renaissance that began in the early 1970's and continues today!
