insatiable craving for knowledge. While there‚ I never missed the opportunity to seize my two favorite VHS tapes whenever available: Popular Mechanics for Kids: Rip Roaring Roller Coasters and NOVA: Roller Coaster!. These videos nourished me with both the charm of creation and the justification behind how to assemble and operate roller coasters. Evidently‚ I admired the concept of humans possessing the ability to develop a scaled-down railroad that can successfully endure hairpin turns‚ stomach-dropping slopes

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.

Potential and Kinetic Energy Transformations Potential and kinetic energy can be found in things all around us‚ especially in roller coasters. Potential energy is stored energy in an object‚ and kinetic energy is energy of motion or speed. On a rollercoaster it can switch from potential to kinetic energy very often. The rollercoaster starts off with a chain and motor and exerts a force on the rollercoaster which pushes the ride to the top of the hill. Throughout the process of going up the hill

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.

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
