  • Skyscreamer Qualitative Questions
    Name: Partner: Teacher: SkyScreamer Sky Screamer is a very tall ride, and as it a result it is difficult to measure the angle of the swing if you are too close to it. When the ride is moving at maximum speed, measure the angle of the swing relative to the vertical. This can be a bit tricky – you need to measure the swing whose support arm is perpendicular to you at the moment of your measurement. This occurs on either the left or right side, and is shown by the horizontal line in the picture. You need to hold your angle meter to measure the angle that the riders on the arm make relative to the vertical (those riders are circled in the picture). Remember – you want to know the angle relative to the vertical! There are two vertical lines drawn in the picture for reference. You may try going taking a photograph of the ride from the Screamin’ Eagle or the Colossus – these vantage points would enable better measuring of the angle. Fill out the following table. Some items will be recorded while on the ride. All FF readings are on the head-to-toe axis Time to rise FF during rise Time for 3 Period at Angle of swing FF at full FF during revolutions at full speed relative to vertical speed descent full speed at full speed Qualitative Questions: 1. Put a check by each thing that happens to you during this ride: Move up _______ Move down ______ Move backward ______ Move forward ______ Move upside down ______ Move in a circle ______ Swing out ______ Swing in ______ 2.
