Thrill Rides Top 10 Roller Coasters in America by Mark Shulman

Thrill Rides Top 10 Roller Coasters in America by Mark Shulman, 48 pages

This is a great book for kids who love amusement parks, especially roller coasters.  Unfortunately a copyright of 2007 dates this book a little bit.  Many of the parks in the back of the book have closed or changed hands and that is in just six years!!  I thought an interesting fact to take out of this book is that 270 million people go to amusement parks a year and only an average of three per year are killed on a ride.  In the United States, the risk of death by a lawn mower, a killer spider or falling off furniture is greater than dying from an amusement park ride!!
