The approach of the paper is on circular surfaces. A circular surface is a one-parameter family of standard circles with fixed radius regarding a curve, which acts as the spine curve. In the study, we have parametrized circular surfaces and have provided its geometric properties like singularities and striction curves comparing with those of ruled surfaces. Furthermore, we have addressed the conditions of minimality of roller coaster surfaces. Meanwhile, we support the results of the approach by some examples.
