roller coaster
Explanation:
primjećujem da se u novije vrijeme izrazi iz suvremenog sporta ili aktivne zabave najčešće ne prevode ili se samo transkribiraju na hrvatski

surfer, kite-surfer, border (boarder), bunjee jumping i njima sl.

"... Pola sata dvanaest je posjetitelja lunaparka, oko 45 metara iznad zemlje, visilo naglavačke s roller costera. Roller coster zaglavio se na najvišoj točki iznad zemlje nakon što je nestalo struje..." (vidi link)

Hrvatske novine već godinama ne koriste usluge lektora, tako da sumnjam da su dobar izvor refernci pravopisa i pravogovora.

Čini mi se da smo u djetinjstvu to nazivali "vlak straha", što zvuči bolje od "vlaka smrti" ali u to vrijeme i vožnje su bile manje vratolomne :)

a Google to i potvrđuje:
".... Posjet lunaparku također čini čuda. Fotografije osoba suprotnog spola bile su privlačnije onima koji su tek sišli s vlaka straha nego onima koji su tek čekali da uđu u njega...."

Asker: Hvala na prijedlozima, ipak mi je taj izraz malo prestrasan i ne svidja mi se tako da sam ostavila original, ali se nadam i opciji u buucnosti koja bi ga bolje opisala ali sa manje strasnim izrazom
