Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Roller Coaster

How to Draw a Great Looking Roller Coaster for Kids and Beginners - Step 1

1. Begin by sketching part of the track. Draw three sets of parallel, curved lines. Each set of lines should meet at a gentle point. Connect them using curved lines to form a tongue-like shape.

Drawing Step 2

2. Draw the next section of roller coaster track. From each of the original sets of lines, extend another pair of curved, parallel lines. Allow all three sets to meet at a point. Then, from the upper set of lines, draw three more sets of curved, parallel lines. Bring each set to a point so that it curves to meet the set below it. Erase as necessary where lines overlap.

Learn More About The Roller Coaster Drawing

A roller coaster is a type of railway that is elevated and which has steep ascents and descents. Unlike most railways, roller coasters won't take you anywhere - in fact, most let you off at the same platform used to board. Instead of travel, roller coasters are designed to produce thrills and pure fun.

The predecessor of the modern roller coaster was created in Russia during the 1400s. Called "flying mountains," these consisted of large sleds and man-made hills of ice.

Later, carriages were developed that rode in grooved tracks. Wheels were added in 1804.

In America, roller coasters had their start with the "Gravity Road," which was used for hauling coal in the morning and passengers in the afternoon.

By the end of the 1800s, trolley companies began building amusement parks at the line's end to attract more riders. Coney Island in New York City was among the most famous.

Today, well-known amusement parks around the world include Disneyland, Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Studios, and Six Flags.

These parks offer a number of indoor and outdoor roller coasters as well as other rides like the Ferris Wheel.

Did you know? The world's tallest roller coaster at 456 feet (139 meters) is the Kingda Ka at Six Flags of New Jersey, USA. The oldest operational coaster is Leap-the-Dips in Pennsylvania, USA. Its top speed is 10 miles per hour.
