Personal Narrative: All Forces To Star Rides

Enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike are well aware that roller coasters malfunction from time to time. Unfortunately for the reputation of these thrill rides, many media, news and other sources exaggerate these circumstances to no end. An example of this is in a video titled “Girls seat belt fails on oblivion rollercoaster at Alton Towers”. What happened was the extra seatbelt somehow came undone. The thing is, the seatbelt doesn’t even do anything. It’s just there as a backup, and the restraint that is on the roller coaster in the video has never failed and it’s on hundreds of coasters around the world.

The roller coaster is designed according to safety regulations that prohibit the speed of the car from

After the rooler coaster stopped we waited for the other cooler coaster to go.As soon as the rooler coaster started to move it went fast and then pulled the brakes quick.After we got off that rooler coaster we rode a couple more rides untill the park closed.Going

New roller coasters were added, new records were broken, this amusement park got better each year. In the 70’s Cedar Point started to break roller coaster records. In fact, Cedar Point has had a number of world records. Whether it has to do with height, speed, or even the steepness, Cedar Point continues to break records still to this day. Since this amusement park is known for it’s roller coasters, it’s known as the roller coaster capital of the world! It has had more roller coasters throughout the years than any other amusement park. Not only does Cedar Point break roller coaster records, it has won many awards such as “Best Amusement Park” (Cedar Point

In Conclusion, we learned that it's not easy to build a rollercoaster. You have to make sure that the people riding the coaster are safe and will not get killed by falling out our passing out. We learned that when building a roller coaster, the first hill should be higher than the second hill because it provides energy for the whole ride. We also learned that a ride that is supposed to be fun can also kill someone if not prepared with caution and patience. As long as somebody can make sure the coaster is build right it can be fun and safe.

I’m sure you’ve heard stories about people losing their phone, hats, wallets, and other valuables on rollercoasters right? This isn’t a death or decapitation story or anything; it’s actually a miracle story… more or less.

Known as one of the worst roller coaster accidents in recent history, this tragic incident is devastating. An Iraq war vet who had lost both of his legs during the war wanted to enjoy the day at the amusement park. He had asked the staff which of the rides were safest for him to ride. They had decided the Ride of Steel would be safe, however it turned out to be his last. He slid to his terrifying death when he slipped through the harness when one of the trains went racing over a small incline.

Not all rides require a safety belt. Some rides don't have seat belts because of gravity and no drops. One example is Splash Mountain where they are not required. Lawyers at Disney have required each ride as it goes in for maintenance to have new safety checks to see if it should have seat belts installed. Tower of Terror was built with a lap bar. A person was injured and then had a stroke. So they took out the bar and installed seat belts. Many experts think all rides should have seat belts to have less accidents. But others think lowering the height requirement would be better.

Hotel Breakers is the only hotel located on Cedar Point land. It is one of the oldest structures in the amusement park, opening in 1905. The hotel had been renovated with a new expansion since the last time we stayed there. We ate dinner at Famous Dave’s Barbeque which is also in Cedar Point. We went to bed early in preparation of the next day’s events. Cedar Point allows guests of Hotel Breakers to enter the park an hour earlier than the rest of the public. Because of this, we awoke at 7:00, as we were able to enter at 8:00. We ate breakfast at the hotel and quickly hurried to the entrance in order to save our spots in line. The first time we went to Cedar Point, we didn’t get fast passes. Fast passes let visitors cut parts of the attraction lines. It was a huge mistake not to get fast passes the first time, so we ordered them this time. Most of the earlier goers stay in the front of the park, so my family and I headed towards the back. The first we roller coaster we rode was “The Maverick”. “The Maverick” is a dive coaster that currently holds the record for the steepest roller coaster in the world. When getting off the ride, we realized that there was no line to get back on. We were able to ride “The Maverick” two more times in a row with minimal wait time. After that, we got on “The Millennium Force”. Opening in 2000, it was the world’s first giga-coaster. A giga-coaster is a roller coaster that exceeds three hundred feet in height.

Many people go to amusement parks to enjoy the thrill of the fast and twisting roller coasters. Crowds of people flock to places such as these looking for adventure and the roller coaster is usually the answer to what they are searching or. Little do these people know that much more goes on that just a car speeding down the tracks, it involves safety features, history, and a lot of physics.

Kryptic Doom is a roller coaster that has been created as entertainment for the people in the amusement park (Jurassic Park). This amusement park ride is the type of ride where you loop around the park and go through several of realistic mountains. In this ride, there is only 3 trains that fit approximately 6 people per train. The trains are going to be under the rail which is going to be really exciting and fun. We have some security major’s so if the rail breaks and the trains fall off, The train has like a boat-like bottom and will float onto the water below it. It’s so that nobody can get injured during the ride. The trains are designed to be really comfortable and can float on water. Another secret installed part on the train is the wings. The wings are connected to 2 thick strings on both ends of the ride. Those thick strings make the ride like they are flying

Have you ever had a friend that stayed with you for over 12 years? I have, and it's been a long and exciting ride. Let me take you through this story that lasted that long. It all started when I was three years old. My Mom and Dad bought a Spider-Man bike. At the time the bike was too big for me so I had to wait until I was old enough to ride it. Finally, I was big enough to ride the little piece of metal on wheels I was waiting to ride for what felt like ages. my Mom, Dad and I went to Kennedy Park. I envisioned that I was going to crash. Although I was scared to ride that fear turned into excitement. Before I knew it, my Dad pushed me and my little red and blue bike down a grassy hill. That little moment got me that much closer to what

The guy on the video (who was obviously scared with the ride) begs his girlfriend to stop the ride. He keeps on begging, wailing, and pleading as the roller coaster ride continuous to shake everyone up. Even though his boyfriend was almost begging for his life, the girl on the video managed to enjoy the

Last night, the leader of The Hans broke into the ticket booth and stole all the tickets. No one will be allowed to enter disney without them! Investigators found this note at the crime scene.

Grip tightens, the body tenses up, and the heart begins to race as the train crests the lift hill. The train is about to plunge towards the ground at unimaginable speeds, and there is nothing that can be done to stop it. The only thing there is to do is hang on and enjoy the ride. This exhilarating contraption is called a “roller coaster,” and they have become a staple in America and around the world since the sixteenth century (Wilmeth). They attract millions of people to amusement parks every year from every age group and background. Roller coasters have evolved throughout the past centuries from simple ice slides to multi-million dollar steel behemoths of insane speed and dizzying height.
