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.

For all drivers, new and experienced -- everyone will learn useful information from this book. Ms. Creedon has artfully researched and detailed this fact-filled guide of knowledge about vehicles and safety. When her daughter became the victim of a "bump and grab," she was compelled to learn more about road dangers and other things that so many drivers don't know -- but need to! Points that are not covered in Driver's Ed, knowledge gained only through years of driving experience, are expertly covered in her easy-reading style. From the back cover: How safe are you while driving? Do you know what to do when suspicious situations arise? Do you know basic vehicle trouble signs? The Ride Guide's wealth of information tells how to be more safety conscious, avoid driving hazards, how to keep your vehicle safe, and so much more! Learn about important danger signs, how to handle problems and avoid potential safety traps. What do you do when blue lights are flashing behind you? (Perhaps not what you think!) When it is okay to leave the scene of an accident? What is the difference between road rage and aggressive driving? Do you know about the "Move Over Law" and the "Good Samaritan Law?" When not to use cruise control? How best to talk to a police officer? Proper procedure when you have an accident? What to do if involved in a "bump & grab?" When to call 511? You will also find information on how to take care of your car, how to avoid getting a ticket, how to buy a used car, how to add oil, how to use jumper cables, the safe way to lead and follow, plus lots of great driving tips. While new drivers generally have the most current driving knowledge, they don't know many of the points mentioned, things learned only from years of driving experience. However, drivers of any age and experience level will benefit from this book.
