Magical Facts About Harry Potter

We love trivia about our favorite books and movies and this great TopTenz article has fun facts about both books and movies. For example, did you know Dame Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall) went through chemotherapy to fight breast cancer while she was acting in the two final films? Or that Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double was paralyzed while filming a flying scene?

Strong winds brought a roller coaster to a halt
but a sudden gust halted it
accident had been caused by “extreme weather”

Trying to beat the TV news?
Also can you really call it an accident, wouldn't malfunction be a little more suiting?

If roller coasters had been around when humans first worked out their primal fears, THAT situation would have been included in the original description of hell.

Thinking of going Anhui..it's a nice place.

this is probably untrue. someone probably caught a picture of the rollercoaster during the loop, it happens very often! this is probably some made-up story based on the picture and i wouldnt believe this w/o doing further research. i mean come on! a gust of wind vs. gravity! just not possible...
