Who invented roller coasters and amusement parks?

Roller coaster (or roller coaster) is a motorized amusement facility, which is common in amusement parks and theme parks. Raemakers Adna Thompson is the first person to register the patented technology related to roller coasters (186565438+1October 20th). He has built dozens of roller coasters, so he is known as the "father of gravity". A basic roller coaster structure includes climbing, sliding and reversing. Its track design is not necessarily a complete loop, but it can also be designed so that the car body moves back and forth on the track. Most roller coasters can accommodate two, four or six people in each carriage, and these carriages are connected with each other by hooks, just like trains.

Although the roller coaster is scary, it is basically a very safe facility. The movie Terminal 3 claims that the accident rate of roller coasters is about 250 million parts 1, but in fact, the real figure may be lower. According to the investigation of CPSC and Six Flags Company, the death rate of 5438+0 riding roller coaster in 2006 was about 1. This means that tourists are more likely to die while driving to the amusement park.

Among the steel roller coasters, Steel Dragon 2000 at Long Island Hot Spring Amusement Park in Japan is the longest roller coaster, with a total length of 2,479 meters. The second place is the ultimate light water valley in Britain, with a total length of 227 1 m, and the third longest Millennium power is located in Cedar Point Paradise, Ohio, USA.
