Catherine the Great: 1729 - 1796 First rollercoaster: 1884 smh

[@Trentonjf]

"Man has always had a need for speed: legs to outrun bears, horses to overtake enemies, cars to cross continents, meth to ... oh, different thing. But we've been constructing ways to enjoy speed, too, since at least the 1400s. That's when we find one of the early incarnations of man's more aimless speed freakery - the roller coaster. Patrons on Russia's "ice slides" would climb a 70-foot timber tower, sit on a sled, and then whooooosh down a 600-foot ice ramp to the base of a second tower. There they'd repeat the thrill, slipping down a parallel slide back to the start. Popular among the gentry, these rides were a winter pursuit until speed-demon Catherine the Great put the rollers on the coaster, adding wheels and grooved tracks to make a summer version at her palace in 1784. Then the French took the coaster baton and ran with it: In 1817, Belleville Mountain in Paris became the first slide to lock cars onto tracks by their wheel axles. And the city's Aerial Walks, which had two curving tracks that met at the base of the ride, introduced a system for pulling the cars back up for "rerides." The French also developed the first successful loop in 1846 - the 13-footer was tested using sandbags, monkeys, and one intrepid worker, whose reaction was recorded in the Journal du Havre. It will ring familiar to any thrill-seeker: He "experienced such a delicious feeling that he wanted to try again."

[@Trentonjf]

The show historically inaccurate, that's the entire premise but this parts kinda true. There were earlier versions then the official first roller coaster on record.

[@Trentonjf]

Which was built in 1817, The first modern roller coaster, the Promenades Aériennes, opened in Parc Beaujon in Paris on July 8, 1817. It featured wheeled cars securely locked to the track, guide rails to keep them on course, and higher speeds.

[@leahalford5769]

Kinda. Not ours like today but an old version. Much harder to work and much slower. Made of wood. It's said it can date back to the 1600s. Although it was used for other things as well as for fun. The first ever Rollercoaster that was ever in service to the public for fun dates back to the to early 1800s. It resided in Paris and cost a nickel to ride. Although it's only the first RECORDED public Rollercoaster so who knows. And the rich could've had their own built prior. The one in Paris opened 1817 and Catherine's reign ended in 1796. So not too far away. The first American one was patented in 1884. So it could have been accurate!
