What is the fastest wooden roller coaster in the world?
I know about one wooden roller coaster that's been around since I was born, it's in Kema Texas, at the Kema boardwalk, and last but not least, it's called the boardwalk bullet.
Is the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland scary?
WHEE! I love Indiana, so I went on it like 50 times.
I don't want to spoil it for you, so don't read below if you don't want to find out!
First, before you ride, you have to walk, and walk, and walk, and walk...
Then, after walking, you enter this room, where people, like, wait until they can get on the ride. You watch a "safety" video which is narrated by Sallah. You watch little clips with him and others on the ride.
Someone eventully comes into the room and says, "Please do this, Blah Blah Blah," and you know.
They make you walk up some steps, and over here, and a few more turns and then you get into these little lines. They have automatic doors that will allow you to get in. (You may have to wait a while, but they make it go fast enough)
A worker blah blah blahs some more and than the ride starts. As you go in, a person thing that is supposed to be Indy (even though he looks like he is turning 99 tomorrow) warns you to be carefull and he appears to be holding back something behind some doors, so we have enough time to, "escape."
A couple of skulls and such and then you are off! It isn't the most fast ride in the universe though! I don't remember all of it, but you here the Raiders music most of the time, and you may want to wear a jacket because it gets cold!
You go over the river of "lava" that you see in Temple Of Doom, and then there is a huge snake that looks like it is about to kill you, and then you go into the tunnel where these darts shoot out (don't worry. they make the air noises and you will probably duck because of instinct." Finally you take a turn and see Indiana. I couldn't tell if he was "tied" up there or if he was holding on. It stops so people can "talk" to him, but don't get out!
Indy says a few things, and then you see the boulder. It's projected to look like it's about to hit you, but, Indy saves the day! You go down and then appear right back where you started! (With everybody looking at you, of course!)
This isn't a very very scary ride, but it is fun!
HAVE FUN IN DISNEY!!!
If you have a bad back or with someone who does don't go on this ride. I did and hurt the rest of the day.
Is Space Mountain scarier at Disneyland or Walt Disney World?
The Space Mountain in Disneyland is slightly scarier but it's easy compared to Expedition Everest.
Neither version of Space Mountain has loops or large drops, relying mostly on speed, turns, and small drops for thrills. Walt Disney World's ride experience is much bumpier than Disneyland's, which some people believe makes the ride scarier. However, some people find the smooth ride provides a scarier experience.
What is the tallest roller coaster ever?
Leap-The-Dips is the world's oldest operating wooden roller coaster and North America's last surviving side friction roller coaster. It is located at Lakemont Park in Altoona, Pennsylvania and was built in 1902 by the E. Joy Morris Company. Leap-the-Dips operated until 1985, when it closed due to disrepair. A fund-raising campaign led to a restoration starting in 1997 and a reopening on Memorial Day 1999. Although the ride is quite tame by today's standards, being only 41 ft (12.5 m) in height and having an average speed of 10 mph (16 km/h), many people still ride it. Several riders report that the rear wheels of cars were once able to leave the track at the crest of some dips. At one time there was a "twin" coaster called Leap the Dips at Mounds State Park in Anderson Indiana. This ride was installed around the great mound in 1908 and visitors said at the top of the ride you could see all the way down to the river. Due to lack of business, the amusement park started selling its equipment in the early 1920's. The Leap-The-Dips is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and in 1996 was designated a National Historic Landmark. It is also an American Coaster Enthusiasts Coaster Classic and Coaster Landmark
How tall does a girl has to be to ride a roller coaster in Disney World?
There are five roller coasters at Disney World. The ones with the highest height restrictions are Rock 'n Roller coaster and the Primeval Whirl, which both require that riders be at least 48 inches tall. The requirement for Expedition Everest and Space Mountain is 44 inches, and for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, it's 40 inches.
Do the roller coasters at Harry Potter world go upside down?
no but it feels like you will hit a pole or bar but you wont.
What is the duration of Stealth roller coaster?
hanging coasters do. Don't worry though, it is about 6' 5"
The song on the rock n roller coaster at Walt Disney studios?
Love in an elevator. Great song, great ride.
Which type of wire do you use to make a model roller coaster?
I think you should use tooth picks and some thin pieces of wood & wire and some bottles cut in half.
In everyday life, we use seatbelts in vehicles and restraint bars on roller coasters to keep us safe.
Restraints are also used by police officers and federal agents to restrain criminals, and by criminals to restrain victims.
What are 3 simple machines in a roller coaster?
The simple machines in a roller coaster are cables, motor, gearbox, CPS, and a chain
How do you build a 4 foot model roller coaster?
Get a kit, and set it up.... There are certain places that you can get a roller coaster kit. Now I had to order mine from FUTURE INVENTORS of AMERICA.
You may not have one where your at but there are other places you can get them at. Just look and you find one.
Does a roller coaster use potential and kinetic energy?
I'm taking a physics final tomorrow, so i know this. Potential Engergy: (change in potential energy) =mgh (h is the change in the elevation)(m is mass)(g is gravity which is 9.81) Kinetic Energy: Energy =(1/2)mass x velocity(squared)
What type of an engineer do you have to be to build roller coasters?
A clever and creative mechanical engineer is the person behind a great coaster.
When does a roller coaster increase kinetic energy?
A roller coaster increases kinetic energy when it is going downhill, as gravity is pulling it down and accelerating it. The potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the roller coaster gains speed.
Where on a roller coaster is potential energy at the highest?
Potential energy is highest at the dead top of the highest point on the roller coaster. It is lowest at the lowest point. Kinetic energy (motion energy) is highest at the point where the velocity is highest. This depends on the design. A good guess is dead bottom of the longest fall, but on a complex coaster ride there are other possibilities. Also, air resistance and friction can change this.
What Is The Special Name Of The Geometric Shape In Loops Used In Real Roller Coasters?
clothoid/ klothoid
Why do the hills of a coaster decrease in height throughout the ride?
The hills in the track of a roller coaster gradually decline in height due to the speed and friction the train of the coaster is receiving. As the friction of the tracks affect the train, it begins to lose its momentum. The heights of the hills decrease so the train can successfully make it from start to finish.
What are all the roller coasters in Busch Gardens in Tampa?
Kumba, cheetah hunt, gwazi, montu, scorpion, sheikra, congo river rapids, Tidal wave, and sand scrapper. That is all i know I haven't been in Busch Gardens in a while.
How much will a rollar coster cost?
Rollar coasters are never the same price because it depends how large or small it is and it also depends how many objects u use to make it or design it.
