Video Description
In the 2000s, roller coasters raced to be the tallest, fastest, and most intense — and it all started with Disney. But now, parks are shifting gears, swapping record-breaking thrill rides for immersive, family-friendly attractions. Why the change? Economist Kyla Scanlon and producer Karin Shedd explore how Disney's innovations sparked the coaster wars, why companies like Six Flags shifted strategies, and how changing economics, customer tastes, and technology have reshaped roller coasters forever. Huge thanks to the following channels for letting us feature their footage! @ColiwoodStudios @coasterforce @XtremeCoasters
