The first roller coaster (called a “wave coaster” in those days) in Japan was manufactured in 1952, and the first moving sidewalk (called an “auto road” in those days) in 1967.
Today, both of these are familiar items used regularly by many.
Though it was called a “wave coaster” in those days, the term “roller coaster” eventually gained popularity.
