A roller coaster is an amusement ride developed for amusement parks and modern theme parks. LaMarcus Adna Thompson obtained a patent regarding roller coasters on January 20, 1885, which were made out of wood, but this patent is considerably later than the "Russian mountains" described below. In essence a specialized railroad system, a roller coaster consists of a track that rises in designed patterns, sometimes with one or more inversions (such as vertical loops) that briefly turn the rider upside down. The track does not necessarily have to be a complete circuit, as shuttle roller coasters demonstrate. Most roller coasters have multiple cars in which passengers sit and are restrained. Two or more cars hooked together are called a train. Some roller coasters, notably wild mouse roller coasters, run with single cars.
The oldest roller coasters are believed to have originated from the so-called "Russian Mountains", which were specially-constructed hills of ice, located in an area that would later become St. Petersburg. Built in the 17th century, the slides were built to a height of between 21 and 24 m (70 and 80 feet), consisted of a 50 degree drop, and were reinforced by wooden supports.
Fasten Your Seatbelt (Hangul: 롤러코스터; RR: Rolleo Koseuteo; lit. "Rollercoaster") is a 2013 South Korean comedy film written and directed by actor Ha Jung-woo, in his directorial debut. The film made its world premiere at the 18th Busan International Film Festival, and was released in theaters on October 17, 2013.
A plane headed from Tokyo's Haneda Airport to Seoul's Gimpo Airport with a Hallyu star on board runs into an unexpected storm and is in danger of crashing. A plane full of absurd characters―both crew members and passengers such as a businessman, a monk and a paparazzo—go through a series of comical shenanigans.
"Rollercoaster" is a song recorded by Irish pop girl group B*Witched for their debut album, B*Witched (1998). It was written by group members Lindsay Armaou, Edele Lynch, Keavy Lynch and Sinead O'Carroll along with Ray "Madman" Hedges, Martin Brannigan and Tracey Ackerman, who also served as producer for the song.
On 29 September 1998, the group released "Rollercoaster" as their second single from the album, following "C'est la Vie" four months earlier. The track peaked at number one in the UK Singles Chart in October 1998 for two weeks.
Giving in
Thinking knives into my back
Lost for words
Screaming bullets through my head
Drag me down
Cause perfect isnç£ quite enough
No way out of this rollercoaster rolling
Over and over and over
Coming clean
The hardest part is staying sane
Join the team
Nothing to lose, so much to gain
No surprise
Again itç£ me against myself
Get in line
This rollercoasterç£ rolling
br> Over and over and over
(Oh no!) Canç£ stop this rollercoaster-ride
Never gonna feel just fine
I canç£ control that feeling
Canç£ stop this rollercoaster-ride
Itç£ going on and on
Precious time is running out, soon itç£ too late
Balance lost
