• The first roller coasters were designed and built in Europe, and their design is said to have originated from wooden slides covered with ice in the city of St. Petersburg.

Which detail from the passage BEST reveals the author's perspective on roller coasters?

• Because steel is so durable and strong, however, steel roller coasters can be built taller and run faster than wooden ones.

• Roller coasters usually reach their fastest speeds at the bottom of this first hill, and the energy from the first drop is enough to propel the car through the rest of the twists and turns of the ride.

• As you might imagine, strong brakes are needed to slow the cars down as they reach the end of the ride.

• For as long as these engineers improve their technology, roller-coaster riders will seek out the thrill of the latest and greatest rides that are available.
