I found both le grand huit and une montagne russe and I always have trouble deciding which option to use (usually the "wrong" one! as in this case I used la montagne russe which was corrected to plural. The alternative option (the preferred response) le grand huit was not. Can someone explain?

Hi Kay,

No rhyme of reason this is just the words that are used for a roller coaster in French -

Les montagnes russes ( plural)

Le grand huit /Le grand 8 ( which is a roller coaster in the shape of the number 8 )

All were accepted.

Bonne Continuation!
