The Coasters

Have you ever been on a broken elevator or gone on a roller coaster called” The Scream?” Well, when I was nine, I rode BOTH of those at Disneyland. This trip was important to me because it was one of the last vacations we took as a family before my parents got divorced. In June of 2012, our family decided to go on a vacation together. My mom, dad, brothers, sister, and I got into the car and drove to California from Idaho. It took us about eight hours to get there. When we arrived we checked into

The purpose of this project was to find a function that models the track on the Millennium Force roller coaster. During this project we created two functions to model this roller coaster, one of which was a cubic function and the other was a quartic polynomial. Overall, the quartic polynomial modeled the track of the roller coaster the best. It modeled the track the best for two main reasons. The first being that the end behaviors of the quartic polynomial compared to those of the cubic function

The Roller Coaster Accomplishment “It goes upside down!” I said. My sister was telling me about a roller coaster ride in Disney World after our parents had broken the news that we were going the summer of my fourth grade year. The idea of going to a park was amazing, but the terrifying part was my slight fear of the fast roller coasters that my family enjoys. My parents looked at me, and I smiled with uncertainty. But on the contrary I started to feel a faint feeling of ambition because maybe

The Roller Coaster Breakdown “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggghhhh!” Screamed the crowd of people as they plummeted down a drop on one of the most terrifying roller coasters i've ever seen. We were on vacation in Universal Studios, Hollywood, and believe me, I was not pleased. My dad always says I shouldn’t be scared of roller coasters, but I don't listen to him. I’m terrified of roller coasters, so since he knows I don’t listen to him, he let my little sister choose the ride I had to go

Rollercoaster Report Task 1. Aim: To investigate energy changes in a rollercoaster, and to investigate to role of wasted energy. 2. Introduction: -Nowadays, in almost every theme park, there is a special ride called Roller coaster. ---The question here is, how does it work and why are people addicted to it. - The movement of a rollercoaster relies on two types of energies: Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) and Kinetic Energy (KE). GPE is a stored energy due to gravity (Potential & Kinetic

My roller coaster is a phenomenal ride that will leave you mind blown. Therefore, the scenery is off the charts and will make you want to return again. Most of the ride is underwater and you are on the roller coaster while in a case that seals the water on the outside. I call it the Tundra. Ordinarily, the cart of the ride holds a total of twenty people. In fact, it holds people of five rows with four people in each row. For the most part, the duration of the ride will be closer to one minute. Since

Roller coasters are popular among kids, yet they are dangerous. In the United States, over 4,400 under the age of 18 are injured on roller coasters every year. Many love the lightning-fast rides, but at eight years old I didn’t enjoy even the idea of riding them. As a child, I might not have appreciated my father for forcing me to try again, but now I am thankful for listening to him. The beaming sun shone down on me while the soft, warm breeze told me about how the upcoming days were going to be

Roller coasters are horrible, in my opinion anyways. Mostly because I’m so trusting of the way everyone says they’re so amazing and great. News Flash- they aren’t! But every time I’m at a theme park, I let them persuade me into riding them. I sure won’t make that mistake again! It was late at night, and Busch Gardens would close in one hour. My family and I were hoping to go on one last ride, since they had closed for two hours earlier. That’s when we came across Cheetah Hunt. Sure, it looked friendly

I never rode a roller coaster until this year. I had a season pass to Six Flags when I was 10 but I never went because I watched final destination and was sure I was going to be that unlucky passenger who ends up decapitated from a roller coaster. I never got on a plane until this year. I watched my family leave the garage and drive to the airport to go on trips on many occasions and I was sure I would end up in a plane crash and die just like Season 8 episode 24 of Grey’s Anatomy. I missed out on
