Why did they call the roller coaster a roller coaster?

The first roller coaster was actually a coal mining car in NY in 1895 that ran 18 miles down hill and would hit a 100 MPH. People came up to the hill where it was located and rode it down. Roller coasters became popular after WW1 and there were over 2,000 built in the United States in the early 1900's. In 1927 the Coney Island roller coaster opened. The early roller coasters were very dangerous and many people got hurt on them. They are called roller coasters because wheels are used for them to coast on a track. It is all done with gravity.

How long is the Tower of Terror ride?

Generally between 35-40 MPH. It would go a lot slower if not for the fact that it's actually being pulled down by a machine as it "drops" to make it go faster. This machine also helps the randomized patterns, too, so no two rides are exactly the same.

What kind of roller coaster is top thrill dragster?

Not quite sure what you mean by "what type" but IntaminAG (the builder) calls these types of coasters "Accelerator Coasters".

It is not a roller coaster- it is a flat ride- as are real dragsters. the dragsters run on a track and it is believed to be connected to something like the feed rod- threaded in a worm pattern and under power- of a lather. thus, the cars cannot get out of control Such a lengthy feed-rod would make for an expensive ride to engineer and concievably maintain, they are not a very common ride. I have never seen them.

What order should you ride the rides at Kings Island in Mason Ohio?

It depends on weather you're afraid of roller coasters or not.

If you are a fearless rider: Because of the lines, you might want to run to the coasters in this order:

Diamondback, Firehawk, Crypt, Vortex, Racer, Flight of Fear, Backlot Stunt Coaster, Beast, and then any other you can think of in any order, but try to go to the ones with the longest lines first. Diamondback and Firehawk first because they'll supply you with the adrenaline needed to get through to the others quickly.

If you're buliding your courage up to ride then i suggest you ride them like this:

1. Flying Ace, to build up your courage for height,

2. Backlot Stunt Coaster for speed (this coaster rockets off very quickly)

3. The Racer, it's a fast ride full of hills, basically a big version of the kiddie ride Beastie (I have no clue what it's currently called, but it was originally Beastie) and a small, wooden version of the Diamondback.

4. Beast. It's tall, wooden, and fast.

5. Now you should make a point of improvising on the remaining coasters, depending on your area of weakness, be it height, speed, turns or otherwise.

Happy Riding!

Cedar Fair's Kings Island is not owned by me nor do I claim it to be so.

What if you lose your knotts season pass?

In general if you lose or damage a theme park pass, you can get a replacement (there may be a small fee involved, but it should be much less than the cost of a new pass). I'm not sure what "broke" means in this context, but take the pieces to the ticket office and ask them what the procedure is.
