Roller Coasters

Wooden roller coasters give people such palm-sweating thrills because they have lots of quick swift drops and crazy turns. Of that adrenaline junkies can't get enough of. However, steel roller coasters may have the advantage of being able to be manipulated to loop and corkscrew.

No, it even states on the attention board by the entrance to any rollercoaster that it is very unsafe for anyone with blood pressure or heart conditions.

Tl;dr: No, you'll most likely suffer from a stroke.

The Hulk has a top speed of 67 mph.

Gravity affect people on 6 axis. They are positive or negative x (lateral G's), positive or negative y (vertical G's), and positive or negative z (acceleration G's). Vertical G's When on a traditional coaster (rider is sitting in an upright facing forwards), vertical G's act on the rider up and down. When vertical G's are positive, they make the rider feel like he/she is being pushed into his/her seat. When negative vertical G's are present, they make the rider feel weightless, or even give people that "Stomach in your throat" feeling. Lateral G's When on a traditional coaster (rider is sitting in an upright position facing forwards), lateral G's act on the rider left and right. Positive lateral G's make the rider feel like he/she is being pushed to the right, and negative lateral G's make the rider feel like he/she is being pushed to the left. Acceleration G's When on a traditional coaster (rider is sitting in an upright position facing forwards), acceleration G's act on the rider forward and backwards. Positive acceleration G's make the rider feel like he/she is being pushed forwards (like quickly speeding up in a car; mainly felt on roller coasters with launches). Negative acceleration G's make the rider feel like he/she is being pulled backwards (mainly felt on the brakes of a roller coaster when decelerating)

The roller coaster was invented by Granville T. Woods and the first one was made of wood because his last name was wood.
The first roller coasters were made of wood. They were planks of wood attached to a short 1 metre chain lift in the centre. This was made of metal. By the way, if you didn't know, the first rollercoasters were made in the 1860's although these were controlled by only humans on their hands and knees working pulling ropes the make the car run. The first rollercoaster tracks were made of wood and sometimes metal.

Well, to understand what a roller coaster does you will need to understand what a roller coaster is. A roller coaster is a small vehicle that runs along a fixed track. What a roller coaster does is move along that fixed track at very high speeds, and many people find this very thrilling

And if your wondering how a roller coaster works

Well, there are 2 types of roller coaster, most commonly the Chain Lift, The chain lift works by hooks on the bottom of the roller coaster car that hook on to a roller chain (the type of chain you would find on a bicycle) and the chain pulls you all the way to the top of the big hill, This is the part where you hear all the clicking. As you start going down the big hill the hooks simply slide out of the chain and gravity starts to take over, but the roller coaster can stay moving because of Kinetic energy and Potential energy. So the 3 things that are very important to a Roller Coaster are Kinetic energy, Potential energy, and gravity. A roller coaster works sort of like rolling a ball down a hill. For info on the launched roller coaster check out the related links.

Roller Coasters originated from ice slides that were built in Russia in the 1400's.

On a roller coaster, we see the cars lifted to the high point on the ride. This converts the kinetic energy used to lift the cars into potential energy. When the cars are dumped over that initial apex, the potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy. As those cars continue along the track, conversions of kinetic energy to potential energy will occur at each rise along the course, and there will be conversions from potential energy back into kinetic energy at the drops. This continues until the end of the ride, where most of the potential energy that was initially put in has been lost in friction, and only a bit of braking is needed to stop the cars.

The fastest roller coaster in the world is at Six Flags in Jackson, New Jersey. It is named Kingda Ka. It is 456 feet tall and runs 128 mph.

When you see a roller coaster you have probably noticed that the first hill of the roller is always the highest unless it has given potential energy. Potential energy is force or stored energy. This is happens because not all potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Superman: Escpape From Krypton at Six Flags Magic Mountain (Formerly Superman: The Escape, but now you get shot up 415 feet and 100mph....backwards!!! :D)

the roller coaster need to prvide many thing such as the seast belt

Thanks for letting me answer youur question! I love this ride!

The Incredible Hulk Coaster reaches its top height of 110 ft. But, the drop is 105 ft.

If you ever have the chance to go on this ride, please go on it. It ROCKS!

Xcelerator is the fastest.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is a section of Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. There are many roller coasters throughout the park, and your ticket covers all of them. Inside of the Harry Potter section, which is pretty large, there is one roller coaster. It is named Dragon Challenge.

You can see a video at the related link below.

*= All the roller coasters in that number go the same speed.

Since the top of the first hill is the highest point on the track, it's also the point at which the roller coaster's gravitational potential energy is greatest. As the roller coaster passes over the top of the first hill, its total energy is greatest. Most of that total energy is gravitational potential energy but a small amount is kinetic energy, the energy of motion. From that point on, the roller coaster does two things with its energy. First, it begins to transform that energy from one form to another--from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy and from kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy, back and forth. Second, it begins to transfer some of its energy to its environment, mostly in the form of heat and sound. Each time the roller coaster goes downhill, its gravitational potential energy decreases and its kinetic energy increases. Each time the roller coaster goes uphill, its kinetic energy decreases and its gravitational potential energy increases. But each transfer of energy isn't complete because some of the energy is lost to heat and sound. Because of this lost energy, the roller coaster can't return to its original height after coasting downhill. That's why each successive hill must be lower than the previous hill. Eventually the roller coaster has lost so much of its original total energy that the ride must end. With so little total energy left, the roller coaster can't have much gravitational potential energy and must be much lower than the top of the first hill.

The tallest roller coaster is Kingda Ka, found at Six Flags Great Adventure in the US.

how fast the roller coaster is going, how high the roller coaster is in the air,

This is due to the fact that it needs enough Kinetic Energy (KE) to make it to the end of the ride, also by having the highest peak at the start of the ride it gives enough KE to carry on going fast throughout the rest of the ride (due to the fact that none of the other hills after the first hill are bigger)

It depends on how you feel about roller coasters, personally its a little scary but very fun!

Disney World in Florida is comprised of four theme parks with many rides in each park. You can find a complete list of all the wonderful attractions that Disney World has to offer in related links section, below.

What happens is the force stops it from moving to anywhere else. If it goes right, a mixture of G-force and gravity pushes it left, keeping it on the tracks.
