will loop the loop. The underlying principle of all roller coasters is the law of conservation of energy. When a roller coaster crests the first big hill‚gravity takes over. Potential energy is sometimes known as positional energy. As the roller coaster falls is has enough kinetic energy to make it through the remainder of the ride. Inertia keeps the object in motion. The other forces bring the roller coaster to a stop by friction. Since roll coasters don’t have motors they need to be pulled up by a

When I was ten years old‚ I went to the Valley Fair‚ that’s also when I went on my first roller coaster. As my family and I pulled into the colossal amusement park‚ I could see it‚ the largest roller coaster I’ve seen in my life. From a distance it looked like a giant knot‚ tied with green strings‚ raised hundreds of feet off the ground. I baged‚"Mom‚ let’s do that one first!" She nonchalantly responded‚"sure." When I offered my sister‚ Jess and my Dad to join‚ but they simply denied it. They

at SIx Flags or any other amusement park. I’m that person that never backed down from a roller coaster. My family and I would always bet who’d chicken out first… I’d always win that wager. Once we got to the park‚ I headed straight to the biggest ride. I meant business when it came to riding roller coasters because they’re so fun. Can’t remember one time where I said I was scared to ride a roller coaster. How could anyone not like fast twists‚ turns‚ loops etc. My personal

Roller coasters can be deadly. For example‚ a teenager was killed by a roller coaster while trying to get his hat back. It blew off in the middle of the ride and he went into the restricted area to retrieve it. He was then killed when the ride crashed into him. Because of this fact‚ I freaked out when I found out that I was going to Universal with my family a few years ago. I didn’t know this‚ but I was going to have an experience of a lifetime at Legoland. On the morning of my family’s trip to

Last week‚ my group and I were constructing the roller coaster. I contributed by installing my funnel into the coaster. I did this by making adjusting the track so that it would lead the marble to the border of the tube. I did this because learned that when the marble spins around the edge of the tube‚ it increases the time which was what we wanted. After adjusting‚ I put supports on the funnel that would help the funnel maintain its shape to have the most maximum time possible. I also contributed

aunt and I went to get in line at the top thrill dragster at cedar; usually the line is 2 to 3 hours long but our wait was 45 minutes. We went to cedar point over the summer. As we went on the top thrill dragster because we have never been on the roller coaster and the line was really short. We were talking on the way to cedar point if we were going to ride the top thrill dragster. “If the line is shorter than last year we will try to get on the top thrill dragster”‚ said my aunt Mel. “okay but if we

not think he would have let me though‚ at this point early on‚ when I have only been going to driving school for about two weeks. He loves his car a lot‚ so much so that no one else gets to drive it‚ with only me as the first exception. I can recall how much anxiety I saw in his eyes‚ as he sat there on the passenger seat while I was manning the car. My dad‚ being the conservative and old-fashioned person that he is‚ has all of his cars with manual transmissions. And a newbie like me that is tasked
