Είναι εύκολο να διαπιστώσει κανείς ότι αυτό που οι Αγγλοαμερικανοί ονομάζουν roller coaster έχει στα γαλλικά το όνομα montagnes russes.
Origin of roller coasters, ‘montagnes russes’ (Russian mountains)
Roller coasters are called in French ‘montagnes russes’ meaning Russian mountains, because they appeared in Russia in the 16th century. They were originally slopes covered with ice so that people could slide down for fun. In the 18th century, because of the popularity of this attraction, some entrepreneurs developed the idea by replacing the seats with carts on rails. Several ride parks of this type were opened in Paris under the name ‘montagnes russes’ in the early 19th century (Από εδώ).

The Russian mountain — The oldest roller coasters are believed to have originated from the so-called "Russian Mountains", which were specially constructed hills of ice, located especially around Saint Petersburg.

Μονάχα στα λατινικά χρειαστηκε να εφευρεθεί μια πολύ έξυπνη περίφραση : curriculum retroflexum!)
Στα ελληνικά πώς λέγεται αυτό; Τρενάκι του τρόμου; Αλλά τότε πώς ξεχωρίζει από το άλλο, εκείνο που σε περνάει μέσα από τα σκοτάδια;
