This might actually be very useful for all of those people that are new to coasters. It's a one stop shop for all terminologies, acronyms, inside jokes, coaster companies, coaster types, elements, coaster construction, and coaster designers. I'm finishing up C right now.

If anyone has any ideas for A, B, and C that I haven't yet thought of, could you please give suggestions?


For inside jokes and acronyms, there will be separate sections in the back reserved for those.


A:

Acceleration G's
Accelerator (also known as "Rocket Coaster")
ACE Coaster Classic
ACE Roller Coaster Landmark
Airtime
Arrow Dynamics
American Coaster Enthusiasts
Anton Schwarzkopf

B:
Banking
Batter Brace
Bent
Bent Post
Batwing
Bolliger and Mabillard
Boomerang
Brake Run
Butterfly Loop

C:
Caripro
Cedar Fair
Cobra Roll
Corkscrew
Cord
Cross Brace
Cross Tie

Don't forget CCI

Edit: what about "catwalk"?
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.
