Since being hospitalized with a severe case of vertigo several years ago, I've been on a self-imposed roller coaster ban. That ended with our Spring Break trip to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. Determined to test my limits and return to the world of roller coaster riding, the OurTravelCafe.com family found the most friendly coasters in the park, checked out the rider comments and statistics, and chose our final four. We chronicle our path through the main attractions, and provide on-ride highlights. Disclosure: No adult humans became ill or debilitated as a result of our harrowing hijinks.

Some call Russian Mountains the forefathers of the modern rollercoasters. It is said that back in the day, Catherine the Great ordered the construction of these wooden ice slides at one of her residences for some coasting fun. Roller coasters have come a long way since then.
