Rollercoaster Rush Overview
Rollercoaster Rush was one of those Flash games you'd find on a school computer or a casual gaming site. It came out during the peak of that era, when simple browser games offered a quick escape. The premise was straightforward: you were in charge of a rollercoaster's speed, trying to deliver a cart full of passengers safely to the station.
You control the coaster using only the arrow keys. The right key accelerates, and the left key applies the brakes. Your main job is to manage the speed carefully. Go too fast on a sharp turn, and the passengers are thrown from the cart. Go too slow, and you might not make it up the next hill. The game presents a series of tracks with climbs, drops, and loops. The challenge is in the timing, learning when to build momentum and when to hold back. It starts gently but introduces tighter curves and steeper inclines as you progress. The experience feels like a constant, tense negotiation between speed and safety.
