My First Roller Coaster Research Paper

The History of Roller Coasters Everyone remembers their first ride on a roller coaster, an experience of terror, joy and excitement, as you tower over amusement parks going through curves and loops. From wooden wonders and steel coasters to twisters and corkscrews, the great rides began with the Russian ice

Roller coasters are one of the most popular rides when you go to an amusement park with everybody in your family. Why are they so scary for some people while for others it is just another adrenaline rush? Roller Coasters are one of the most complicated rides to build and to actually ride. There are some people who just have fun building something to have a quick adrenaline rush before going to work. Roller coasters have some of the most interesting design and history; they have become one of the world’s famous rides at every amusement park.

Introduction: You wait in line for what seems like forever and finally you take your seat. You pull the paddle bars so they fit snug against your shoulders. You reach the top and then comes the big drop. You start screaming or if you're daring you put your hands up and enjoy the ride. I'm of course speaking of roller coasters. Today I'm going to go over the history, the different types of roller coasters, the mechanics, and the most important part, safety of roller coasters.

lunging 230 ft., my legs about to snap from the opposing force of gravity I ask myself why. Why did I ride this moronic ride? Six Flags, a place where the aroma of waffle cones or turkey legs, the size of small children, waver through the blacktop roads. A place

A roller coaster is to move, change, or occur in a dramatically changeable manner of a roller coaster. As you ride a roller coaster there are points within the ride that are a thrill and others that are a scare. When the cart starts going up to the top and you begin to get higher and higher the more anticipation that starts to build within you and the more your adrenaline starts to kick in and the higher you go the scarier it gets. The cart reaches the top and as it goes down the scarier it is as you have to go through all these twists and turns until finally, you reach the end. When the ride is over and as you are taking off your seat belt and as the lever rises up from your lap the person on the intercom says "thank you for riding life".

My heart pounded as my feet gradually left the safety of the grounds and began its ascent on a ladder that rattled on every step. Sweat formed in the palms of my hands while my gaze remained transfixed to the ground. In my mind’s eye, I envisioned myself landing with a splat on the ground. This was my first time at White Water, Six Flags. At first, when my cousins invited me to the trip, I presumed that in the worst case scenario, I would face a roller coaster; I can stomach that as long as there were seat

When we got to the park, my brother and sister went directly to one of the highest roller coasters. They were so pumped up while I was terrified to death. After thinking it through, I decided to skip the first ride and maybe all the other ones too. They just papered so gigantic, noisy and intimidating like a beast.

A roller coaster’s popularity depends mainly on many different basic elements which are parts that are usually on roller coasters such as the headchopper, the launch track, and the lift hill. The headchopper is any place where the roller coaster overlaps itself or appears to come very close to the passenger’s heads. The launch track is a part of the coaster where the train is accelerated to its max speed within a few seconds and drastically increases the train’s kinetic energy. The lift hill is similar to the launch track by increasing the train’s potential energy by raising it to the roller coaster’s

I remember a day when I was walking in the Six Flags theme park in Texas with my best friend. The smell of popcorn and candy and the feeling of excitement from the little kids coming for the first time with the grandparents just enjoying the family experience. We were walking down the winding stone pathways, waiting for our next adventure at every turn. Trying not to leave our parents behind, we ran ahead enough to be in eyesight, but we were going at our own pace. He and I stood amazed at the sight of the gigantic rides as their shadows were cast down over us. The mini-shops and food stand would attract our little noses at the sight and smell of every peculiar food and trinket imaginable. My Friend, Rhett, suggested we go try a roller coaster. At first, I thought he was just joking around trying to scare me. I asked him what he really wanted to do and after that I realized that he wasn’t joking.

Click, click, click your almost to the top of the hill and then whoosh your flying down the track. Not thinking about anything when really you put all your faith in a little cart connected to a metal track. There are really three main points when looking at roller coasters the history, making, and thrill of the coaster.

My heart still racing, with my anticipation and fear alike reaching their peak, we rushed down the slope at a very high speed, with the wind blowing against my face rapidly removing the sweat that had accumulated. There were many twists and turns, but then, I saw the loop approaching. This was the part of the ride I feared most. We quickly went upside down, then right side up again and it was over in an instant. It seemed like seconds and we arrived back at the station and

[A long post to celebrate the long ride all the way here] RPF has been like a roller coaster ride (as overused as it is) going up so high at the top, then descending below, then rising back up again. Our very existence has affected the community in so many ways unimaginable to the point where without our existence, the community would be much different from it is now and long before. And after such a long ride, we're finally here, celebrating the 10th anniversary of one of the most legendary Club Penguin Armies of all time, the Rebel Penguin Federation. We've passed the torch down to so many different people, with admirable and/or infamous qualities and abilities. It would range from figureheads or legends who shaped the community, to infamous backstabbers who tried to destroy us and possibly others too. It's truly amazing to see how this structure is still standing up to this day, celebrating a decade of being alive.

What do you think about when you're on a roller coaster? Do you ever think how you're being pulled up this huge hill or down the hill? A

I closed my eyes as the ride ascended from the platform and came to a stop at the peak. I opened my eyes to nothing but the skyline. I said,” Guys if I survive this I’m going to kill you all.” The moment of truth was upon me now. The Coaster was at the mercy of gravity as we descended the massive drop. In the split second I had before we fell off the earth I knew there was nothing I could do to stop ride. As I
