Luskhan
Luskhan (meaning "water spirit chief") is an extinct genus of large pliosaurid plesiosaurs from the Lower Cretaceous of western Russia. The only known species is L. itilensis, first described in 2017 from a well-preserved and nearly complete skeleton discovered in the Ulyanovsk region. As an early-diverging brachauchenine, Luskhan consequently exhibits an intermediate combination of traits seen in more basal (less specialized) and more derived (more specialized) pliosaurs. However, Luskhan departs significantly from other pliosaurs in that it exhibits a lack of adaptations in its skull to feeding on large prey; its slender snout, small teeth, and short tooth rows instead indicate a skull adapted for feeding on small, soft prey. With these features, it is the pliosaur that approaches closest to the distantly-related piscivorous polycotylids, having convergently evolved these traits more than 10 million years apart.

Ulyanovsk
Ulyanovsk, known as Simbirsk until 1924, is a city and the administrative center of Ulyanovsk Oblast, Russia, located on the Volga River 705 kilometers (438 mi) east of Moscow. Ulyanovsk has been the only Russian UNESCO City of Literature since 2015.

It is also famous for its writers such as Ivan Goncharov, Nikolay Yazykov and Nikolay Karamzin, and for painters such as Arkady Plastov and Nikas Safronov.

Scottish clan chief
The Scottish Gaelic word clann means children. In early times, and possibly even today, Scottish clan members believed themselves to descend from a common ancestor, the founder of the clan, after whom the clan is named.

Vortex (Calaway Park)
The Vortex (previously known as Turn of the Century and Corkscrew) is a corkscrew roller coaster in Calaway Park in Alberta, Canada.

When it opened, it was named "Turn of the Century" and was painted an "earth tone" brown to blend in with the surrounding landscape. In 1986, it was renamed "Corkscrew". In the 2004 off-season, the track and supports were painted green, and the coaster train was painted pink. During this time it was renamed "Vortex" with the new catchphrase "Fun From The Bottom Of Your Stomach". This update debuted when the park opened for the 2005 season. The update was for Alberta's centennial.

In the 2019 off-season, Vortex was repainted by Baynum Painting to a green and purple color scheme. The coaster train remains the same pink color.

Vortex, unlike most roller coasters similar in size, sends riders around for two laps rather than one to accommodate for the short track length.

Roller coasters usually have various safety features, including specialized wheels and restraints.

Individual carts vary in design and can carry from one to eight or more passengers each.
