Terrain roller coasters are roller coasters which, as their name suggests, take advantage of the (usually) natural undulations of the land upon which they are built. Such rides may often weave through forests, and some may even dive down cliffs.

Famous examples: *Kennywood is well known for its hilly Pittsburgh location. Many of its coasters take significant advantage of the topography, for example, the Thunderbolt's last drop is its longest one. *Boulder Dash is an out and back coaster that traverses the side of a mountain *Holiday World is also known for its terrain roller coasters, most notably The Voyage. *The Beast at Kings Island has been the longest wooden roller coaster in the world since it opened in 1979.
