'Insane Coaster Wars'

Summer wouldn't be complete without a ride on a roller coaster. So jump in, lock the safety bar into place and get ready for virtual rides on the Top Thrill Dragster in Cedar Point, Ohio; the Desperado in Nevada; Bizarro at Six Flags in New England; and the Xcelerator at Knott's Berry Farm in California. Oh, and keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times. 9 p.m. Sunday on Travel (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
