If you want to learn about the best amusement parks, roller coasters, and theme parks around the world, then check out HowExpert Guide to Amusement Parks and Roller Coasters. From the classic wooden roller coaster at your local pier to the highly technical and intricate new ride that Disney is set to open this next year to the high-speed steel beast of a monster that sits a few hours away at the closest Six Flags, there is a multitude of attractions out there. Unfortunately, all that stands between you and said attraction is a two-hour-long car trip followed by a $25 parking fee and then a three-hour line. Okay, so maybe that doesn’t sound desirable. But what does sound desirable is the opportunity to experience a world-class thrill ride that you can brag to your friends in class or perhaps being immersed in a land that is themed to your favorite movie in which you forget you’re still in the same world as before. Theme parks and amusement parks alike offer something unlike anything else, and each park offers something different and unique from the others. Here in this book, you’ll learn all there is to know about both theme and amusement parks, the different types of rides, roller coasters, and much more. We’ll also rank the best 101 amusement parks, some of which may only be a short trip away from you. The best part about this is not only will you be able to pull this guide up whenever you need it and be able to impress the coaster enthusiasts with your knowledge and understanding of the lingo, but you also won’t have to wait in a three-hour line to crack this thing open. Here is your fast pass to all the park industry-related knowledge you couldn’t possibly imagine having before. Check out HowExpert Guide to Amusement Parks and Roller Coasters to learn about the best amusement parks, roller coasters, and theme parks around the world. About the Author Noah Granger, born and raised in Los Angeles, California, grew up surrounded by a plethora of amusement parks. From going to Disneyland on a weekly basis to conquering all the intimidating roller coasters of Six Flags Magic Mountain by the time he was a teenager, Noah developed a passion for this niche topic and an addiction to the adrenaline that he often got while riding Xcelerator at Knott’s Berry Farm. Currently, a student at California State University Fullerton, Noah is continuously keeping up to date with all there is going on in the amusement and theme park industry. Over the years of learning more about this hobby, he has accumulated years and years’ worth of knowledge surrounding all the different types of parks and thrill rides. What Noah cherishes most, though, are the friends and family that he gets to spend quality time with, standing in lines while at the parks. Luke 17:6 HowExpert publishes quick how to guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

Ticket To Ride takes you through the history of roller coasters, from the first in seventeenth century St. Petersburg to today’s gigantic theme park attractions—complete with a tour of the most hair-raising and fantastic examples. The adrenaline rush of a roller coaster ride provides its fans with a leg-wobbling wave of euphoria and exhilaration unmatched by any other experience. It takes a certain amount of courage—or foolhardiness—to climb onto a roller coaster, but what a ride. Fans travel the world to experience the latest and most gut-wrenching rides, and they have quite a selection to choose from. Exactly who built the very first roller coasters is contentious, but they are generally agreed to have appeared in seventeenth century St. Petersburg, where they were made of ice and wood—accordingly nicknamed “Russian Mountains.” Now a staple of amusement parks and theme parks, the first patented roller coaster appeared in the first real theme park, at famed Coney Island in 1884. It was created by “Father of the Gravity Ride” LaMarcus Adna Thompson, an American inventor and amusement park pioneer. His “scenic railways” were a sensation, so much so that he opened six at Coney Island alone. The first golden age of the roller coaster ended with the Great Depression in tandem with the decline of amusement parks in general. A roller coaster revival did not begin until 1972, with the construction of The Racer at Kings Island, Ohio. This started the second golden age of the roller coaster and led, in turn, to the construction of rides like Rebel Yell (at Kings Dominion, Virginia) and Thunder Road (at Carowinds, North and South Carolina). In 1959, the first steel track roller coaster, called Matterhorn Bobsleds, appeared at Disneyland, California, leading the way with innovative loops and corkscrews. Aficionados have their favorites; some prefer steel roller coasters for their smoother ride and ability to turn their passengers upside-down as they fly around the tracks. Conversely, others prefer the more old-fashioned wooden roller coasters that rattle along and play with negative G-forces to provide “air time” for their passengers. Today, there are numerous types of roller coasters, which broadly divide into train-type coasters, mechanical coasters, and track layout coasters. Some of the favorites featured in this book include: Jurassic Park, Animal Kingdom theme park, Superman the Ride (Bizarro), Superman: Escape from Krypton, Batman The Ride, El Toro, Loop The Loop, Transformers: The Ride, Jack Rabbit, Th13teen, Saw: The Ride, London Eye, Back at the Barnyard Hayride, Great American Scream Machine, Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride, Apollo's Chariot, Apocalypse, Big Dipper Roller Coaster, Boomerang Coaster, Dragon, Cyclone, Medusa,Thunderbolt, The Sea Dragon, Alpine Bobsled, Rattlesnake, Shockwave, Full Throttle, Goliath, Joker 4-D coasters, Phantom’s Revenge, The Big One, The Ultimate,Centrifugal Railways, Oblivion, Klondike Gold Mine, Dreamland park, and more. Ticket To Ride looks at the development of roller coasters and how they have evolved into the biggest theme park attractions in the world, taking you on a tour of the greatest, most spectacular examples.
