In the 15th century, Russians really upped the ante on sledding, building giant, wooden slides—some up to 70 feet tall and 100 feet in length—that they covered in slick ice. Mounted on an ice block with a straw seat, riders could reach up to 50 miles per hour.
Popularized in upper class circles, Catherine II of Russia had one installed on her property—but hers wasn’t limited to winter enjoyment. It had wheels that fit into grooved wooden rails, putting the “roller” in roller coaster and allowing the thrill to continue into summer months. Some say her clout gave roller coasters the credibility to spread into Europe by the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
August 16th is national roller coaster day and what's more fun than Dee on a roller coaster.
I guess topless Dee on a roller coaster.
