So am I supposed to believe that one day some absolutely wild man came up with the idea to put a bunch of people in a cart and send them zooming around loops and dips at dangerous speeds on a rickety track? And people line up for this?
Surely these things cost a ton of money to build and maintain. Who the hell thought this was a good idea???
The legacy lives on in some languages. In Spanish, the word for roller-coaster is montaña rusa, literally a “Russian mountain”
Same in French, Portuguese, Italian and Romanian
Huh, I speak Italian and I’d never wondered what the word for roller-coaster was. Thanks for the info.
Iirc, it’s called American Mountain in Russia lol
