What is fun in your life? I am talking about a place that has food areas. It has rides like roller coasters and others. If you guessed amusement parks you were correct. Have you ever been to an amusement park? In my opinion amusement parks are probably the most fun way to have fun. Now I will tell you all about amusement parks.
First, let’s talk about amusement parks themselves. Amusement parks have been there for many many years. In fact, the oldest amusement park was made in 1583 which is 500 years ago! Sadly that amusement park is not there anymore. The oldest amusement park that is still running is Lake Coumounce which was made in 1846. The biggest amusement park of all is Walt Disney World. It is located in Florida, US. About 50 million people visit it every year! It contains 24 hotels, 4 golf courses, and 6 theme/water parks!
Now let’s talk about roller coasters. Roller coasters have also been there for a long time. The first roller coaster was built in 1884. It was very slow as it only goes 6 miles per hour. It was in Brooklyn, New York and it costed a nickel to ride it.
Now I will tell about the fastest roller coaster, slowest roller coaster, steepest rollercoaster, and many more. First lets start with the fastest. The fastest roller coaster is a ride called the formula rossa in Ferarri World in Abu Dhabi. It is so fast that it goes 150 mils per hour. That is double than the speed that a car goes on a freeway! It is so fast that to protect your eyes, you need to wear goggles! The smallest roller coaster is a roller coaster near Oslo Norway with the name of Dvergbanen. It just 26 meters in length and height of 2.5 meters. The longest roller coaster is in Kuwana, Japan and is 1.54 miles (2.48 km). The name is Steel Dragon 2000 and it takes 4 whole minutes to ride it once! I hope you have your lungs ready to scream for that long! The roller coaster with the steepest drop is in Yamananashi in Japan. It goes by the name Takabisha and it goes to 121 degrees!
You have got to give credit to Kingda Ka as it is the tallest roller coaster. It goes up to 456 feet and is also the second fastest roller coaster in the world. This ride is in New Jersey, USA. That is all the different records of roller coasters
