Who invented baggage carousels?
The first baggage carousel was invented by a french company named TELEFLEX after a request from ADP (Aéroport De Paris) to develop a solution to deliver baggage at the arrival passengers, it was at the end of the 50' and especially for Orly Airport. TELFLEX was in this period specialized in ceiling chain conveyors for divers industry and had this idea to return this chain conveyor and to put it on the floor with a structure around to support slats.

Why are you always accelerating when you ride a carousel?
Because you are traveling in a curved path. Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity. A vector has both a magnitude and a direction. Even if you move at uniform speed in a circle, your velocity is constantly changing, because your direction is changing. The acceleration is also a vector, and points in the direction that the velocity is changing. To speak more precisely, the acceleration is the first time derivative of the velocity, while the velocity is the first time derivative of the position.

Why was the jungle coaster POV in legoland windsor removed?
it is a long story. At first when it was made in 2004 people loved it. in 2006 residents near the area complained about the noise of people riding. screaming, shouting etc. They then put hoods on the carts to stop noise. They then found a problem saying to much weight was on the track therefore it was 2 a carriage. This made queuing times up to two hours. The manager then said it was to long and had it dismantled.
Can a roller coaster go upside down with lap bars?
Yes they actually can! There are many coasters that go upside down with only lap bars like Flight of Fear at Kings Island, Iron Shark at Galventine Island's Pleasure Pier and Mr. Freeze at Six Flags St. Louis, to name a few.

Are bags allow to be on Six Flags Great Adventure rides?
It all depends on the size of the bag and which ride. More often than not, they will have you put them in a $1 locker located outside of every major coaster. These are temporary and are only used for the duration of the ride. Some coasters will allow you leave your articles on the side of the loading platform. The one exception to the rule is El Toro. Absolutely no loose articles, including bags, fanny packs, etc. may be taken in the line or onto the loading platform or else you WILL NOT RIDE.
