Roller Coasters

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.

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.

it is in Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio, United States.

you have to design and it can take up to 1/2 a year depending on how extreme it is. then if it is steel workers at a factory make it in pieces and then they make it but if it is wooden workers will make it on the site in pieces

The motor that drives the chain is being fuelled with electrical energy, which it converts into kinetic energy to move the chain. The chain supplies the rollercoaster carriage with kinetic energy and (hence why its harder to pull something up a slope) gravitational-potential energy. When the chain releases the carriage, and it speeds down the track, it converts its GPE into kinetic energy and thermal/sound wastes.

At cedar point, there are 17 roller coasters, and there are 3 water rides featured in Cedar Point's Soak City Water Park. The Amusement park also includes plenty of kid friendly soft rides and games for the littler ones.

It provides undesired slowing of the coaster on its path but it is essential for the brakes to stop it at the station.

Well the first thing you should do is ride the kiddie roller coasters first (thunder mountain, space mountain, ect) then work your way up. When youre on an intense coaster and you feel like youre gonna throw up, just scream as loud as you can, it will release some adhrenaline. Also dont close your eyes, that will make the drop worse D: and you should go with a friend whos either been on before or never been on. A good way to prevent feeling sick is to put your feet flat on the ground on the cart and pretend youre using an imaginary steering wheel, "driving" the

coaster. This will make you feel like you have

Control over the cart and will reduce adrenaline. This will help, but its not recommended for you will most likely get in trouble; on the roller coaster, swear like crazy!! This will reduce alot of adrenaline. Hope this helps! :3

The most extreme roller coaster would be KINGDA KA, at Six Flags Great Adventure. It has a drop of 140m, the tallest drop in the world. Two other extreme coasters would be: * Top Thrill Dragster - a coaster like Kingda Ka but a shorter drop of 130m. It is located at Cedar Point. * Tower of Terror - located at Dreamworld, Australia, the coaster is launched 115m in the air before freefalling backwards. It is the tallest roller coaster in the southern hemisphere.

I think this year (2008/2009) a new roller coaster has been built and beaten it but I'm still not sure. :S Also sorry but I don't know that name of the roller coaster that had beaten the Kingda Ka,which I think would be an amazing acheivement!

new answer: Yes it is the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world and no it has not been beaten. it may ( not a good chance ) be beaten in the near future. far, maybe. near, impossible. But i have heard rumor about the ring o racer which if opened after adjustments (it had some problems and hurt 7 people) but i dont think it will be faster than the kingda ka. but if it is, then i will ride that one to.

420 Ft. Top Thrill Dragster. This coaster is currently the second tallest coaster in the world
