Roller Coasters

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.

*= 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.

Shivering Timbers is the name of a wooden roller coaster ride at Michigan Adventure theme park. It opened on May 23, 1998 and cost $4.5 million dollars to build. It stands 122 feet tall and the highest drop is 107 feet.

You're not giving quite enough information. At the moment you are interested in, is the roller coaster moving freely on the track, or is it under the control of a cog or other system? Is the roller coaster on its way down an incline, or on its way up?

That would really depend on the type of surgery you have had and how much progress you've made. For the vast majority of people the answer will be yes. A roller coaster might be scary but you really don't move much in your seat. However if you've had problems such as an infection or have weak muscles its probably best avoided.

The bottom line - as always - is check with your professionals - either you doctor or your physical therapist. No one can give you a definitive answer without actually examining you.

The World's most strongest, the fastest and the scariest roller coasters is the hypersonic roller coaster, the underwater roller coaster, the twister roller coaster, the dinosaur roller coaster and the volcano roller coaster.

its veloxrotaphobia

That's not possible to measure. But the roller coaster manufacturer "Bolliger and Mabillard" makes pretty smooth ones. The roughest one (asked in a poll) is Ninja at Six Flags Over Georgia.

No, they travel with gravity after their travel up a lift hill or after a launch.

Potential energy is at its greatest when the train is at the highest point of the track.

At the top of the first hill, before the first plunge.

Potential energy = mass * gravity * height

mass * gravity remain constant.

When Height is greatest, PE is greatest

the motions on the coaster cause your stomach to move it goes up, down, left, or right so its just the coasters motions that make it drop because at a track moutain/hill the coaster goes down so fast that it pull your stomach to the ground.

it gets pulled and the boner goes up

Centripetal force is the force that keeps you in your seat in the rollercoaster. It is the force that pulls toward the center of a circle when anything is in curved motion.
