Roller Coasters

Roller Coaster Designers they have a lot of education in engineering, and physics.

1959

It was the world's first tubular track steel roller coaster. It was called the Matterhorn Bobsleds and it was featured at Disneyland.

Hope i helped =)

make the first hill 63 meters high, then make it go as steep as it can go to the bottom (0m) repeat this process as much as possible. Even though you get stuck,hit next. you get up to 4015 points (I think) because u have so much track.

Yes, why not? I've done it, just make sure you have pads or tampons in and you're good to go!:)

The "average", vanilla roller coaster? Their top speed in descents is about 60 MPH. But some of the newer, death-wish "can-you-top-this" roller coasters? I wouldn't even hazard a guess!

they are there because of safety. if you are smaller then you could slide out easily. if you are bigger then you couldn't fit the harnesses or the straps around you.

The roller coaster was designed and patented by Edwin Prescott of Arlington, Massachusetts on 16 August 1898. It was named by the U.S. patent office as "the pleasure railway." The first design was a simple one which included just a single circular loop. The design caused an uncomfortable shock to passengers as the car entered the loop, so was hardly a pleasure to ride. Subsequently, in 1901 a loop-the-loop centrifugal railway was patented by Prescott. The new roller coaster was more comfortable to ride as it replaced the rough approach to the loop with a gentler curve, and had other modifications to improve the overall ride.

Yes. As the car goes down the hill, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases. However, not all of the potential energy becomes kinetic energy. Some of it is lost to heat and sound energy.

Kingda Ka is the world tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world. Kingda Ka is located at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ. Kingda Ka is 456 feet tall and goes 128 mph. It takes 3.5 seconds to get to top speed, (from 0 mph to 128mph). It takes 11 seconds to reach the top of the hill from the bottom. The whole ride is only 28 seconds long. There are 4 trains, teal (light blue), orange, dark blue and of course green. Each car holds 17 people. Each car has two seats except the back row, which only has 1. The main colors are green and blue. The track is green and the supports are blue. The min height is 52 in. From my experience, I would suggest getting a Flash Pass. BTW the section of the park Kingda Ka is located is the golden kingdom.

The first roller coaster was actually a coal mining car in NY in 1895 that ran 18 miles down hill and would hit a 100 MPH. People came up to the hill where it was located and rode it down. Roller coasters became popular after WW1 and there were over 2,000 built in the United States in the early 1900's. In 1927 the Coney Island roller coaster opened. The early roller coasters were very dangerous and many people got hurt on them. They are called roller coasters because wheels are used for them to coast on a track. It is all done with gravity.

No, sadly it does not. My older brother really wanted it to go upside down and was disappointed that it didn't.

its depend on the saftey bars and the restrictions on certain rollercoasters

don't ride a roller coaster if you are pregnant. Doesn't matter how far along!! Probably nothing would happen and you would be quite safe at least until 3 months, but if anything did happen you would blame yourself.

yes, and also a chain and sprocket, pneumatics, and lever

It depends... Some roller coasters, such as the Deja Vu coasters at various Six Flags theme parks have height limits because of clearence issues. If that is not the case, comfort is also an issue. On classic Arrow looping coasters (Such as Demon at Six Flags Great America), leg room is not something that is very abundant. Also, you may have problems with your shoulder harnesses if your torso is long. The best bet would be to ride mostly on coasters with lapbars and ample leg room (B&M Hypercoasters are EXTREMELY good for this, such as Apolo's Chariot at Busch Gardens Europe) If you aren't sure, call the park ahead of time, and they'll be able to answer your questions.

Actually, you can breath on roller coasters.

There are 4 types of gs.

-Positive gs

The feeling at the bottom of a hill

Feels like something is pressing you against your seat

Survivable rate- 1-6-7 gs

-Negative gs

The feeling when you go fast on a small hill

Also called airtime by us coaster enthusiasts

Feels like something is pulling you out of your seat

Survivable rate- 0- -2gs

-Lateral gs

The feeling of going fast on a small turn

Coaster designers try to avoid this as much as possible

Survivable rate- depends how much pain you can take but never over 1.6

-Acceleration gs

The feeling of being launched

Feels like when you accelerate at a traffic light when it turns green

(Awesome Feeling by the way :) )

You can experience this on launch coasters like kingda ka or top thrill dragster

Survivable rate- up to 17

Hope this answers your question!

The slope of a roller coaster describes how steep the roller coaster is. Knowing the angle of the slope will tell you how steep a roller coaster is.

no

Intimidator- a 232 foot tall rollor coaster, located at carowinds.

Modern roller coasters are quite safe; they have many checks and are monitored often to ensure they remain safe. However, ride accidents do occur. People who aren't riding can be hit by the coaster if they enter the coaster area. As well, people who are too small can fall out of the ride if they aren't secured safely.

Not quite sure what you mean by "what type" but IntaminAG (the builder) calls these types of coasters "Accelerator Coasters".

It is not a roller coaster- it is a flat ride- as are real dragsters. the dragsters run on a track and it is believed to be connected to something like the feed rod- threaded in a worm pattern and under power- of a lather. thus, the cars cannot get out of control Such a lengthy feed-rod would make for an expensive ride to engineer and concievably maintain, they are not a very common ride. I have never seen them.

It depends on weather you're afraid of roller coasters or not.

If you are a fearless rider: Because of the lines, you might want to run to the coasters in this order:

Diamondback, Firehawk, Crypt, Vortex, Racer, Flight of Fear, Backlot Stunt Coaster, Beast, and then any other you can think of in any order, but try to go to the ones with the longest lines first. Diamondback and Firehawk first because they'll supply you with the adrenaline needed to get through to the others quickly.

If you're buliding your courage up to ride then i suggest you ride them like this:

1. Flying Ace, to build up your courage for height,

2. Backlot Stunt Coaster for speed (this coaster rockets off very quickly)

3. The Racer, it's a fast ride full of hills, basically a big version of the kiddie ride Beastie (I have no clue what it's currently called, but it was originally Beastie) and a small, wooden version of the Diamondback.

4. Beast. It's tall, wooden, and fast.

5. Now you should make a point of improvising on the remaining coasters, depending on your area of weakness, be it height, speed, turns or otherwise.

Happy Riding!

Cedar Fair's Kings Island is not owned by me nor do I claim it to be so.

Roller coasters are variable motion. Something that has variable motion when they have different distances and speeds in an equal period of time. Going uphill, roller coasters are sort of slow but going downhill, the roller coaster starts to accelerate. The roller coaster takes the same track every time and only goes through it once so, it has equal time periods. By traveling at 2 different speeds during equal time periods, you have variable motion.
