Terrain roller coaster
(Redirected from Terrain)
A terrain roller coaster takes advantage of its natural surroundings by following contours on the ground.[1] This may be weaving through trees in a forest, or gliding over water. Terrain roller coasters are often cheaper than non-terrain coasters, because terrain coasters are usually closer to the ground, so the price for supports is reduced.
