The most insane new U.S. roller coasters
2
You'll flip head over heels for this summer's
bumper crop of new roller coasters. Along with a
couple of petrifying new record-breakers
(highest, fastest and other superlatives go with
coasters like tracks and inversions), U.S.
amusement parks are also investing in new
technologies and family friendly thrill rides.
"In the '70s, parks were pulling out their kiddie
rides to make room for the teen-drawing bigger,
faster, stomach-tightening rides," Dave Lipnicky
says. "This summer, there are plenty of those,
but we're also seeing a nice balance in the major
installments. Here are some of the top new
roller coasters Goliath, Six Flags Great
America, Gurnee, Illinois Banshee, Kings
Island, Mason, Ohio El Loco, Adventuredome, Las
Vegas The Thunderbolt, Coney Island, Brooklyn,
NY Flying Turns, Knoebels, Elysburg,
Pennsylvania FireChaser Express, Dollywood,
Pigeon Forge, TN Lightning Run, Kentucky

  means is that families can now file suit in
  American courts against U.S. aircraft

  no body.
