Roller Coaster is the 11th episode of Season 4 and the 63rd overall episode of the Nickelodeon series Zoey 101. The episode first aired on April 27, 2008.
Plot
Zoey's physics class is going on a field trip to ride on a roller coaster at Mystic Mountain called "Spine Twister." Everyone is excited to go, except for Michael, who is afraid of roller coasters. As Logan finds out about this, he tells everyone at PCA that Michael is afraid of riding them. Michael is worried that Lisa thinks he is a wimp because he is scared to ride roller coasters, so he tries various methods of getting over his fears, none of which seem to work. Eventually, he goes to Mystic Mountain itself before the field trip to get over his fear once and for all. When he rides the Spine Twister, he discovers that he likes it so much that he's still riding it as the episode ends.

Trivia
- Paul Butcher (Dustin Brooks) is absent from this episode.
- Mystic Mountain is a parody of Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA. The actual scenes from this episode were filmed at Six Flags, and the rollercoaster used as the Spine Twister was Goliath, a rollercoaster at Six Flags. Fans of Drake & Josh might also recognize the Goliath as the Demonator roller coaster from the Drake & Josh episode "The Demonator." That episode also took place at Mystic Mountain.
- When Zoey answers her phone to Firewire her ringtone is "Leave It All to Me" the theme song for Zoey 101's sister show iCarly.
- It is discovered that on every Saturday afternoon, PCA has a concert.
- Coco's cousin, who appears in Paige at PCA, returns in this episode, where we discover he works at Mystic Mountain. He asks Michael if he remembers the psychology incident, something that Michael would rather not talk about.
- This episode has no subplot.
- The skyline of Mystic Mountain is actually Kennywood in Pittsburgh, PA.
- Logan wasn't at the concert at PCA probably because Dean Rivers heard about Logan telling all of Pacific Coast Academy that Michael was afraid of roller coasters and gave Logan detention as punishment for humiliating Michael.
- This is the only episode where Quinn and Logan are not seen interacting since they started dating in "Quinn Misses The Mark".
- Moral: Respect other people's insecurities.
