Out and back refers to the design of a roller coaster.
Blue Streak, located at Cedar Point is an out and back coaster
Out and back coasters commonly start out with the lift hill, then there is a series of hills and drops. Usually being quite large this time around. The track then does a 180 degree turn and does a series of more hills. This time, being much smaller. Alot of these hills may be "bunny hills" to increase air time. This is very popular, because of the cheap, easy, and very simple design. However, there can be other kinds of out and back coasters. For example, Diamondback is an out and back coaster, but it does not go up a hill, does a 180 degree turn and heads back to station.
