National Roller Coaster Day!

Did you know today is National Roller Coaster Day?!  I’ll never forget buckling myself into Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America— I was TERRIFIED!  Raging Bull is the tallest, fastest, longest roller coaster at Six Flags Great America and is the world’s first hyper-twister coaster.  It was also the first roller coaster I had ever ridden.
We couldn’t be more excited about teaching kids that when they trust God, they can face even their biggest fears.  Colossal Coaster World VBS in 2013 is going to be a wild ride! In honor of this special day, here are our favorite roller coasters of all-time!
