  • Thrill Ride King of Coasters
    Up to Speed Up to Speed Cedar Point Top Thrill Dragster is the world's second fastest roller coaster. It is topped only by Kingda Ka. Thrill Ride Kingda Ka is one wild ride. As you wait in line, you hear the screams of people riding the roller coaster. Part of you can't wait to ride it; another part of you wants to bolt in the opposite direction. Before you know it, it's your turn to board. You brace yourself. Whoosh! With a roaring blast, the thrill ride rockets from 0 to 128 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds. Before you can catch your breath, the train whisks you straight up 456 feet. When it can go no farther, gravity plummets the coaster downward into a dizzying spiral twist. The train then whips you through another valley and zooms up another hill. Congratulations! You have just experienced one of the fastest-and tallest-roller coasters on Earth. King of Coasters Kingda Ka, or the "King of Coasters," opened in the spring of 2005 at the Six Flags Great ReadWorks.org Copyright © 2007 Weekly Reader Corporation. All rights reserved.

The jaw-dropping thrill ride shattered the world's record for roller coaster speed and height when it opened. Of the more than 1,000 roller coasters in the United States, it was the latest "extreme" coaster to be built. Six Flags roller coaster designer Larry Chickola said that building Kingda Ka wasn't easy.

    From your friends at Jackson Auto Worx JULY 2019 Summer’s Literal Ups and Downs It is said that life is a rollercoaster. It is also true that rollercoasters are, uh… rollercoasters. As summer is firmly here, we at Braking News are taking the plunge into one of America’s beloved summer pastimes; amusement parks. And specifically the thrilling feel of danger and excitement engineered for safety and mass consumption, the rollercoaster. • There are more amusement and theme parks in the United States than in any other country in the world. • According to the Roller Coaster DataBase, there were 4,639 coasters in operation around the world in 2018 — 4,455 of them steel, 184 wooden (3 of the woodies have loops in them! Take that, preconceived childhood notions!) • Of those 4,639 rollercoasters in the world, 19 of them are found in Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia California, the largest number of rollercoasters in any one park anywhere in the world. • California may host the park with the greatest number of coasters, but in order to experience the fastest roller coaster in the world, you’ll need to travel to the other side of the world. The fastest roller coaster, “Formula Rossa” ride, is located in Abu Dhabi’s Formula One theme park and launches its riders to a top speed of 149 miles per hour. • According to Guinness World Records, Bakken, located in Klampenborg, Denmark, opened in 1583 and is currently the oldest operating amusement park in the world. • The worlds fastest coaster may be in Abu Dhabi, but he tallest roller coaster is in the Six Flags Great Adventure Park in New Jersey.

  • Physics of Roller Coasters
    Physics of Roller Coasters Royal High School Physics, Fall 2007 Purpose The purpose of this activity is to investigate the physical properties of a model roller coaster and apply these to physics in general and to life sized roller coasters. Introduction to the Activity The roller coaster is a treasure-trove of physics, from forces and accelerations, to speed and energy. Many physical principles can be studied using the simple model rollercoaster. In addition, conversion of units and proportionality are addressed as we convert measurements from one unit to another and as we scale up the results to reflect a real life-sized version of this particular coaster. In this activity the class will build four identical K’NEX roller coaster models and work in groups to use these models as vehicles to examine several physics principles (position, velocity, acceleration, vectors, potential energy, kinetic energy, the exchange between the two over the course of a roller coaster ride), and friction. This activity meets State of Texas TEKS requirements from §112.47, Physics, including items (c) (2) (B) to (D), (5) (B) and (C), and 6(A). The activity also meets state TEKS requirements from §111.32 Mathematics, including items (b) (1) (A), (B), and (D). http://www.tea.state.tx.us/teks/ This activity also meets National Science Education Teaching Standards B, C, and D; and Program Standard D (“Good science programs require access to the world beyond the classroom”). More details about these and other national science education teaching standards can be found at http://www.nsta.org/about/positions/standards.aspx.

  • Design of Roller Coasters
    Aalto University School of Engineering Master’s Programme in Building Technology Design of Roller Coasters Master’s Thesis 24.7.2018 Antti Väisänen Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master's thesis Author Antti Väisänen Title of thesis Design of Roller Coasters Master programme Building Technology Code ENG27 Thesis supervisor Vishal Singh Thesis advisor Anssi Tamminen Date 24/07/2018 Number of pages 75 Language English Abstract This thesis combines several years of work experience in amusement industry and a litera- ture review to present general guidelines and principles of what is included in the design and engineering of roller coasters and other guest functions attached to them. Roller coasters are iconic structures that provide safe thrills for riders. Safety is achieved using multiple safety mechanisms: for example, bogies have multiple wheels that hold trains on track, a block system prevents trains from colliding and riders are held in place with safety restraints. Regular maintenance checks are also performed to prevent accidents caused by failed parts. Roller coasters are designed using a heartline spline and calculating accelerations in all possible scenarios to prevent rollbacks and too high values of accelerations, which could cause damage to riders’ bodies. A reach envelope is applied to the spline to prevent riders from hitting nearby objects. The speed and curvature of the track combined create acceler- ations that need to be countered with adequate track and support structures. A track cross- section usually consists of rails, cross-ties and a spine, while support structures can vary depending on height and loads.

    Great Adventure Packet 0 Six Flags Great Adventure Physics Packet Groups Members - Physics teacher’s name: ____________________ ________________________ ____________________ ________________________ ____________________ ________________________ ____________________ ________________________ Great Adventure Packet 1 MAKING MEASUREMENTS AND CALCULATING ANSWERS Most measurements can be made while waiting in line for the ride, such as timing specific events. Acceleration Meter readings must be made during the course of the ride. Be sure that the Acceleration Meter is securely attached to your wrist using the rubber band or safety strap while using it during the ride. The workbook is designed for you to answer each question using your knowledge of Physics to find an exact answer. There are also multiple choice answers that are provided to help you determine if your calculated answer is appropriate. Realize that the answer you calculate may not / should not exactly match a potential multiple choice answer. These potential answers have been created using actual measurements from previous years. Therefore, you should choose the multiple choice answer that most closely matches what you have calculated using your measurements. Provide your exact solutions in the box provided and show the accompanying work and calculations in the space provided for that question. Instructor note: students will have to use specific given mass assumptions so that the multiple choice answers will work. Also, the assumption is that the Acceleration Meter readings that the students record will give comparable to established values. ACCELERATION FACTORS Acceleration Factor (AF): An acceleration factor enables you to express the magnitude of an acceleration that you are experiencing as a multiple of the acceleration due to gravity.
