Midway Physics Ride Booklet #· #· ©Name· @Name· Date· Date· Midway Physics at the Fair #· (j) Name· Date· Chapin High School 2 Observing Rides Many interesting observations about science can be made while enjoying the State Fair, not all of them requiring calculations. In this section we have made a list of some of them. There are other observations also, and we hope you will keep a good sharp eye out for things we did not include. • Could you figure out the height of the rocket at the front gate using only its shadow and a yardstick? • As a Ferris wheel turns, a mark on the side moves in a circular path. Why is this so? As you sit in the moving seat of the Ferris wheel, sometime your feet are "inside" the wheel and sometimes they are "outside" Draw a diagram to represent the path of the mark and the path of your feet. Do your feet move in a circular path? • Try to diagram the paths of the more complicated rides. Mark where they are going fastest. Mark where the change in direction is sharpest and mark where the change in speed is greatest. • Ifyou carry a scale on the Ferris Wheel, do you expect things to weigh the same all around the trip? What would you expect at the top, bottom, and the two sides? Assume the wheel turns smoothly. Can you think of a way to test your ideas using a simpler method than riding a Ferris Wheel? • Ifyou carry a pendulum onto a merry-go-round would you expect its time-of-swing (period) to be different from that on the I ground? How about other rides - such as the Ferris wheel or a roller coaster? • What factors make it hard to toss a ring over a peg to win a prize? Look carefully at what happens, and see if you get some ideas. • Look in the mirror at the fun house. Is there a connection between the way the mirror is shaped and the way your image is shaped? Try your ideas for differently shaped ntirrors. • What will happen if a skinny driver in a bumper car runs head-on into a heavy driver in a bumper car? What happens if one or the other car is not moving? Why does the bumper car ride have a ceiling? Can you draw an electrical circuit diagram for the bumper car ride? • Are the rides and Midway illuminated primarily by incandescent or by florescent lamp bulbs? Why? 3 Ride Physics In this section we will discuss how you can apply physics principles to some of the rides at the South Carolina State Fair. Analyze several of the rides mentioned in this booklet and then use those rides as starting places for investigating other rides. One of the measurable aspects of fair rides is the force that they exert on you and the acceleration you feel. The force and acceleration are connected through Newton's second law; F =ma, where Fis the force in Newtons (N), ni is the mass in kilograms (kg) 1 and a is the acceleration in meters per second per second (mfs2). When the only force on you is the force of gravity your weight is W =mg, where g is the acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/s2l. When you feel "pushed down" at the bottom of a roller­ coaster loop you experience an apparent weight greater than your normal weight. When your apparent weight is twice your normal weight we say you experience a force of"two is". That is because you experience the acceleration of gravity plus the acceleration of the ride's motion. At another point on the ride you could be almost lifted from your seat. This is an example of less than one g because you feel lighter than your normal weight. The downward acceleration of gravity is the same, but your acceleration due to the ride cancels some of the effect of gravity. One of the objects of ride physics is to measure and calculate the acceleration of a rider. 3 3.1 Roller Coasters; Non-looping and Looping, Clothoids A roller coaster provides a good example of conservation of h = d(tan 8) +LS meters energy. The train is pulled to the top of a high hill and let go (Fig. v,oa"" = Jig(hA -h,) Bl). The train then plunges down the other side of the hill. It 4.n;2r then rises up another hill to plunge down again, perhaps with a..,," - g( tan 8) acalculat~d - y twists and turns to the left and right.

The park first opened in the summer of 2017 and Zamperla was involved in both the first and second phases of the construction, supplying the venue with three highly themed attractions. One of these was a Magic Bikes, a popular, interactive family ride which sees participants use pedal power to make their vehicle soar into the sky. Also provided was a Disk’O Coaster, a ‘must have’ ride for every park and a best seller for Zamperla which combines thrills and speed to provide an adrenalin-filled experience. The third attraction was a Tea Cup, which incorporates triple action to create a fun and exciting experience, coupled to a high hourly capacity. And now Zamperla has also supplied an Energy Storm to the park, featuring five sweep arms which rotate upwards and flip riders upside down while also spinning.

  • Accessibility Guide Provides Informa- Tion on the Recommendations and Restrictions for Each Attraction
    WELCOME Dollywood® proudly offers a wholesome, family-fun experience for our Guests, and we are here to help Create Memories Worth Repeat- ing® for you and your family. We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for our Guests. This Rider Safety & Accessibility Guide provides informa- tion on the recommendations and restrictions for each attraction. Please carefully read through this guide to learn more about the services we provide, as well as particular attraction information. Additionally, we have included specific information for Guests with disabilities. This information provides a clear outline of the accom- modations at each attraction, as well as the physical requirements for entering or exiting ride vehicles and other attraction areas. It is important to note that, although all of our Hosts are eager to make your day as pleasant as possible, they are not trained in lifting or car- rying techniques and therefore cannot provide physical assistance. We suggest that Guests with disabilities bring a companion who can provide any physical assistance that may be needed. RIDE ACCESSIBILITY CENTER Our Ride Accessibility Center is provided to assist Guests with dis- abilities and provide detailed information about special services and rider requirements to help you make well-informed decisions about your visit. Guests who wish to use the Ride Accessibility Entrances must visit the Ride Accessibility Center (located next to the Dollywood Em- porium) to obtain a Ride Accessibility Pass. See page 9 for details about this program. Please Note: The information in this guide is subject to change. Please feel free to visit our Ride Accessibility Center for current information on accessibility services.
