Aloha Roller Coaster Friday
National Roller Coaster Day is dedicated to roller coasters, and has been celebrated since 1986. Modern day roller coasters were first patented and built in the late 19th century in America. John G. Taylor was issued a patent in 1872 for a roller coaster in Rhode Island, and LaMarcus Adna Thompson built one in Coney Island in 1884. Early roller coasters were wooden, but now steel is mainly used in making them.
