Where was the first Roller-Coaster set up?

Answer 1

I believe it was at Tivoli Gardens in Denmark, the first was not a roller coaster like today's version but they did build a wooden one there in 1914. The beginnings of roller coasters in other places, namely the U.S. has its roots in log flumes that the logging industry, in the mid 1850's, used to move logs from forested hillsides down to rivers and on their way to sawmills.

Answer 2

Contrary to popular belief, the US didn't invent the roller coaster. . However, the first records of organised coaster-like rides don't appear until the 15th Century. In the 1400s, enterprising residents in St Petersburg, Russia, began constructing large ice slides during the winter months. At first passengers sat on scraps of fur or hay and sand was used to slow the rider at the bottom. Gradually, their popularity spread and the slides developed into large ice-covered wooden structures with sleds used in place of the fur and hay - the first coasters according to our definition. By the 1780s, the rides had developed into a year-round attraction - thanks to the addition of sleds with wheels - and were appearing throughout Europe.

Answer 3

most roller coaster historians agree that the ride's origins were the Russian Ice Slides. These slides first appeared during the 17th century throughout Russia, with a particular concentration in the area of in what would become St. Petersburg. The structures were built out of lumber with a sheet of ice several inches thick covering the surface. Riders climbed the stairs attached to the back of the slide, sped down the 50 degree drop and ascend the stairs of the slide that laid parallel (and opposite) to the first one.

Answer 4

I believe in Coney Island. The Russians also had an icy surface used as a slide..
