- Another great place to look for information on coasters and amusement
- parks is the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature. There are
- literally hundreds of articles listed for the past several years under
- these two topics. Not all of the articles are good, some are just short
- blurbs, but you'll come across a number of in-depth articles this way.
