Everybody loves a roller coaster‚ even if they can scare us to death. However‚ not many people study and analyze roller coasters. Fortunately‚ I am one of those people. When I heard about The Cornell Theme Park Engineering Group‚ I’ll admit my heart started to jump. Finally‚ this was my chance to share my crazy roller coaster ideas I had been conjuring up with like minded people. Things as crazy as a four-dimensional gyroscopic megacoaster could be considered outside of the sketches of my mind. However

Designing a roller-coaster is not easy‚ they have to be thrilling and exciting but not jerky. A lot of work has to be done to design a safe yet breathtaking roller coaster. The engineers have to consider the forces acting on the roller coaster train as they gain momentum and the structural support needed to support these forces. There are different designs of a roller coaster‚ for example‚ a suspended roller coaster‚ in which the track is above the speeding car. There are wooden‚ regular steel‚ steel-flying

Do you like roller coasters? I do‚ if haven’t ridden one you should at least try it because they are really fun. The first time I rode one I was kind of scared because I didn’t know what it was like. My family went on a vacation To Disney World in Florida for the first time. When I told my dad I wanted to ride it he said "you know you don’t have to ride it" but I said I really wanted to. When we got there‚ there was a giant electric guitar and it was as tall as the sky in front of the building. The

Some say that life is like a roller coaster. That may be true‚ but no one ever tells you how many ups or downs you’re going to have or the fact that you’re getting on that roller coaster completely blind‚ unknowing to the many inevitable obstacles and loops you’ll go through. Everyone has their own specially built roller coaster that’s unique from anyone else’s‚ and mine looks a lot like a steady‚ upwards track leading to a deep drop when least expected.

I love roller coasters‚ that is fact. But I have not always been this way‚ but this story changed my opinion‚ and also taught me a great lesson. Me and my friends were about to ride the tallest coaster in the world‚ but it didn’t seem so scary after I rode it.

My friends and I had gone on a few rides already‚ such as Batman‚ Nitro‚ and the

It was like a thousand tiny hammers hitting the sides of head. They were so loud‚ I couldn’t hear
