Have you ever wondered about the history of the roller coaster? These thrilling rides actually got their start in St. Petersburg, Russia. In the seventeenth century, man-made hills were built out of tree trunks, and lumber, and covered with ice. People climbed stairs up to seventy feet high, and mounted sleds carved from blocks of ice. The rides went as fast as fifty miles an hour, and lasted just a few seconds. Similar rides were built in Paris in the early 1800s. They had small wheels attached to the sleds, and ran on a track. The first roller coasters appeared in the United States by the late 1800s.
