Roar-o-Saurus, Wooden roller coaster in Glen, New Hampshire, US
Roar-o-Saurus is a wooden roller coaster in Glen, New Hampshire, designed to appeal to families with varying ride experience levels. It features a single train with six cars carrying a total of twelve riders and takes visitors over hills and through turns without any inversions.
The coaster opened at Story Land Park on May 24, 2014, after being announced at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions conference the previous year. The park used the new ride to mark its 60th anniversary and expand its family-friendly attractions.
The coaster is part of Story Land's lineup and tells the story of a triceratops named Rory discovering his roar throughout the ride. Visitors experience this dinosaur narrative directly as they travel, making the themed element central to how people use the attraction.
The ride requires a minimum height of 42 inches, and children under 48 inches need adult supervision. Plan your visit during less crowded times to experience shorter wait periods.
The ride reaches speeds of 33 mph and features a notable 38-foot descent that thrills riders through rapid movement without any head-over-heels moments. This design makes it a rare example of a wooden coaster delivering speed and excitement through straightforward engineering rather than complex inversions.
