	History and Types of Roller Coasters
		Some coasters move back and forth along the same section of track; these rollercoasters are called shuttles because of this motion and usually run the circuit once with riders moving forwards and then backwards through the same course.
		Wooden coasters are fondly looked at by coaster enthusiasts for their more rough ride and "air-time" produced by negative G-forces when the coaster car reaches the top of some hills along the ride.
		Cedar Point was the first park to have coasters break specific height barriers, so as they (their marketing team, perhaps) were the first ones to create and use names for coasters of a particular height, those names became part of general use.

	Roller Coaster Alley - Tremors
		This new area of the park which had so recently given birth to two coasters over such a short period of time was quickly dubbed "roller coaster alley" (hey, we like the sound of that!) and for very good reasons.
		This monstrosity is a tasty treat all on its own...the coaster is just straining the wood, and you can hear the riders shriek in delight as their bodies are thrown mercilessly back and forth.
		This is one sweet coaster to catch a glimpse of your photos on - as your diving into what seem to be progressively smaller tunnels in the earth.

	Everything you ever wanted to know about roller coasters!
		Roller coaster fans mark the advent of a corkscrew-shaped ride in 1975 and a perfected, tear-drop-shaped loop in 1976 with the same passion as historians mark the Renaissance.
		As the roller coaster is pulled up its first hill by the lift chain, there are safety devices that click into a set of metal dogs (or stairs) on either side of the chain to prevent the coaster from rolling backward should the chain stop.
		And after the coaster has completed its ride and is headed into the station, a series of brakes, operated by compressed air and complete with backups, slows the coaster and brings it to a stop so that riders can get off.

	Timber Terror
