Rollercoaster Ride

Ever since my first roller coaster ride, I have feared riding a roller coaster again. The experience of riding the roller coaster was not enjoyable. The anxiety I felt once the ride started, the slow, creeping movement of the cart towards the endless drop off. Then, I came face to face with the infinite downfall, questioning the decision of why I even approached the ride. My stomach began to turn upside down, then it all happened. Picking up speed, the wind battering against my face, the terrifying ride seemed endless. The twisting and turning, going up and down, up and down, my stomach churning. Then finally, the cart slowed down and coasted to the end. I got off the cart, regretting ever even going near the ride. After that ride, I said I would never again go on a roller coaster. Things all changed on the day I will never forget, March 22, 2012.

Some people view the outside world as a dangerous place full of disparity and misery, others like to embrace that unknown and try to use it as a catalyst for inner growth. I like to see myself as the latter, the individual who lives for the rush of the unknown. I looked down to see what I could only describe as a dream come true. It was a ticket for a six month tour around Asia that would lead to the complete immersion of native culture and tradition- Vietnamese Pho, the mountain folk of Nepal, the Muay Thai martial arts of Thailand, Chinese Architecture and the beaches of Laos are some of the places that we got to experience first-hand. As a participant I was expected to live with 15 other individuals from around the world that I had never

Almost a decade has passed and yet, the daunting feeling of stepping off the plane, into the unknown remained. Thoughts rushed through my naïve mind, as the brisk breeze brushed my face.Where am I?Why am I here? Racing through the airport, I was overwhelmed as people paced past me, my mind filled with curiosity and my heart beating louder than a drum. Everything was new, the silence, the purity, the beauty.This new country seemed unrealistic to me, it felt like I was in a dream as I was introduced tonew things. Aspects I couldn’t understand as a little girl were all thrown at me in an instant, skin colours that I didn’t think existed, a new culture, and a new language which sounded like drivel. I slowly began to realize that this wasn’t a dream,

For some, roller-coasters are an exciting and adrenaline filled attraction, however, for some it is the exact opposite. Roller-coasters can be absolutely terrifying, especially to young children. I was in the latter category as a child, and one roller-coaster was particularly petrifying.

our lives are a roller coaster ride with ups and downs good times and bad, but have you ever wondered why you might make the decisions you do? Some experts believe that our brains are wired to think of our lives as stories. They also believe they decisions we make are designed to make our story better. our stories give us a way to cope with the present whether it be good or bad. humans never want to be average humans want to be something great. the quest for something better than the rest. in a way our stories are a roller coaster and only you can change where it ends

Turbulence violently jolted the Boeing 777-300ER to and fro thrusting my petite frame into my stodgy neighbors, as I apologized to no avail. Internally, my heart was trembling as I yearned for my family, friends, and everything once familiar to me. Gazing around hopelessly, I cringed at the stares from strangers who already seemed to single me out as an intruder. This uneasy feeling that I thought would never be resolved vanished a grueling twelve and a half hours later as the plane touched down at Narita International Airport. Exiting the tarmac I felt anew; stepping into the crisp Japanese air I felt an intoxicating level of euphoria. The previous dread I had experienced surprisingly turned into a swelling curiosity. Unbeknownst to me at

My life used to be great! I was the main attraction at Jerry’s Amusement Park. Everyone waited in line just to ride me. Everyone loved me because I was the tallest, fastest, and best looking roller coaster in the entire park. The other roller coasters were jealous that they didn’t get all the attention. I would remind them every day that I was the best roller coaster in the park. I had almost no friends because of that. Now, I’m ignored, forgotten, all alone, and left to rot. Just like the junk pile that is next to the park.

In a park near you very soon a roller coaster will be drawing near...furthermore, not only is there a roller coaster that has never been seen before but also the most magnificent coaster that you've seen.

It was a hot summer day, and I was eight years old. I went to Cedar Point for the first time. I remember the first coaster I ever rode was the Raptor. It was thrilling and I was a little scared on it, but after I got off, I felt like I was superior. I rode many more roller coasters, then we see the Top Thrill Dragster. The track was a bent oval and had a vertical rise and drop. It is very intimidating and I remember seeing an older lady praying before the ride took off. My aunt, uncle, and mom asked if I wanted to go on it with them, and I was a little hesitant. They told me it is okay if I’m scared, but I did not want to admit it. I had to make the decision quick and agreed to go on it. I was very nervous and my stomach started to hurt out of nowhere. About two hours later of waiting in line, it was our turn to get on. I got on a cart with my mom and my heart was beating like a crazed man banging on a door. I had fear mixed with excitement, but I was determined to ride the Top Thrill Dragster. After everyone was buckled in, the speakers in the platform started playing drag racing car

Like mentioned before, to make the hot wheel experiment more efficient would be better material and similarly for the rollercoaster would be a better shape of the roller coaster. This would help the efficiency of the two experiments because if the rollercoaster and car have a better shape where air gets past quickly it would lessen the resistance and friction of the car. Having a shape where there is a low amount of resistance would mean there will be less wasted energy because no friction will cause vibrations on the track.

The Longest rollercoaster I have been in is the rollercoaster of the relationship between my grandmother and I. “ I feel like I have been waiting on something that isn’t going to happen” (http://boldomatic.com/view/post/A9FZeg) From the beginning of time I have hated my grandmother and most of my life I didn’t know why. Most people love their grandparents and worship them for their lovingness and general nature but for me it has always been this deep seeded hatred when it came to my grandmother. She is my grandmother from my father’s side and I am her oldest grandchild. Thus, my grandmother and I have a particular others relationship.

Since humans were created, we have always searched for some kind of thrill and excitement. Once man was tired of playing with something as dangerous as fire, he decided to move on to more dangerous things, thus, the roller coaster was born. From sliding down rocky mountains, to the huge steel coasters we have today. Roller coasters have evolved, and will continue to evolve alongside humans. The way roller coasters are made, the safety of the roller coasters and the popularity of them are just a few things that make up the history of these magnificent gifts to man. Coaster history has its ups, downs and loop di loops, all that bring us to where we are today.

“Whatever you do don’t look down”, I say to myself whenever my heart beats. Krrrrrr!, BOOM! It started and this time it is not my heart. My dad was holding my hand so I won’t be petrified a lot. My younger brother was whining because he was also terrified and making me even more fearful. As the Roller Coaster is starting and I asked myself, “why is my dad forcing ride on this ride?”, and I do not want to ride on this roller coaster.

Today, Roller Coasters dominate amusement parks across the world. With 672 roller coasters in the United States alone, and 3,656 operating coasters across the world this thrill ride is widely know, as well as enjoyed. However, when the majority of the population thinks of this common ride all it 's known for is the excitement, butterflies, long waits in line, the speed and memories that come with it. It seems no one could name where the first roller coaster was built, how they came about, or even any of the simple physics involved. In reality, the Roller Coaster is more than just a thrill ride, it is all parts of physics including momentum, inertia, Newton 's Laws,and friction. It is a symbol of dedication of its creator, safety, and even

If you are ready for the thrill of a lifetime, this ride is the one for you! Exhilarating, amazing, exciting, unexpected and awesome, are just a few words that describe this ride. It all starts out normal, just like any ordinary roller coaster. To start, the ride uses work to get the ride moving and keeps moving at a constant speed. Even while riding up the 75 feet, or the 22.86 meter hill, you are still moving up at a constant speed. Throughout almost the whole roller coaster, you have kinetic energy. Except for when you arrive to the top of the hill, balanced forces act on you, and you come to a complete stop. At this point, your cart has the greatest potential energy. After a little while at the top of the hill, when the tension starts to build, Newton’s 1st Law is acted on the ride, and work, or force, launches you down the hill, accelerating rapidly. Newton’s 1st Law is that an object will stay at rest, unless acted in by an unbalanced force. Racing down the hill you are free-falling, and experiencing
