  Wild Mouse roller coaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Wild Mouse roller coaster (or Wildemous or Mad Mouse) is a type of roller coaster characterized by small cars, which seat four people or fewer and ride on top of the track, taking tight, flat turns at modest speeds, yet producing high lateral G-forces.
The feeling of a Wild Mouse coaster is amplified by using cars which are wider than the track itself, giving the impression that the riders are hanging off the side or that they might fly out, thus giving it the name "wild".

 Roller coaster - Uncyclopedia
By pure definition, a roller coaster is anything that may seem rebellious or appear dangerous when in fact, it's perfectly safe for family fun as long as you're over the height for 48 inches.
With roller coasters, however, passengers are also sent through double-backwards corkscrews, 85-degree death drops, underground tunnel plunges, and triple-twistback loop-the-loops, often at speeds of over 100 miles an hour and with G-forces approaching space shuttle launch (or crash) levels.
Bobsled roller coaster - A roller coaster that rides in a wooden (or metal) trough much in the fashion of a bobsled (It is not locked to a track, but rather follows the shape of the trough).

 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.
Steel coasters are known for their smooth ride and often convoluted shapes that often turn riders upside-down via inversions known as loops, corkscrews, pretzels, and other descriptive names.
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.

 Spinning roller coaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Spinning roller coaster is a roller coaster with cars that are able to rotate on a vertical axis or sometimes (as in the case of 4th dimension roller coasters, as they are known to Arrow Dynamics) on a horizontal axis.
4th dimension roller coasters are similar to flying roller coasters in many ways, the key differences being seat position and rotation.
There is considerable debate within the coaster community as to whether or not the spinning of these coasters qualifies as an inversion for the purpose of coaster records.
