The Coasters Wars - a battle to build the world's biggest roller coaster

Roller coasters are THE theme park ride, but it wasn't always that way. We can thank something called the ‘Coaster Wars’ for the amazing roller coasters we have today. The ‘Coaster Wars’ was an epic battle of theme parks that fought to build the world's best rides. So, what made the ‘Coaster Wars’ so influential? Rapid innovation. Roller coasters grew ever taller, and ever faster, thanks to fierce competition. But how did it all begin?
