Twister II Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Reading through Barnes and Noble and Boarders the past few weeks, I discovered a section of books dedicated to different TV shows and the philosophy behind them. Ex: Seen Here Not only would this be a great book idea to have rollercoasters and philosophy, but why not start it here? Personally, I see that us enthusiasts have usually had something since childhood that has gotten us attached to coasters. For me, I was obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine and Hot Wheels. Making tracks down the stairs, into loops, etc. Some others I've talked to were big into skiing and snowboarding and loved that rush of falling and fast turns. So what got you started? Was it in your early childhood? Teen years? And how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 ^Personally, I'd be more interested in a really good roller coaster history book. But that's just me. I went to a liberal arts college and had to read plenty of philosophy books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 ^ Scott Rutherford's "The American Roller Coaster" was released in (I believe) early 2000, as it ends with articles and CGI of Millennium Force and Lightning Racer. A very good history book, I thought, though a) it obviously doesn't cover the last decade of innovation and b) I'm not sure if it's still in print. // Used it to write a 9-page essay on coaster history last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
