  • A Place Where Learning Is Fun!” Student Manual High School
    ”A Place Where Learning is Fun!” Student Manual High School 1 TO BE READ ON THE BUS ON YOUR WAY TO CAROWINDS! Your bus pulls up to the entrance of Carowinds and you are about to jump out of your seat with excitement. After checking in, you run to the rollercoaster ride you have been hearing about for a year; Fury 325. You are now barreling down the track at 95 miles per hour, taking hairpin turns along its 6,602 feet of track. You’re screaming at the top of your lungs in fear but enjoying every minute of it. The only thing holding you in your seat is a safety harness... but how does physics help keep you in your seat? How do the laws of physics affect amusement park ride design? Today you will learn how the basic principles of physics apply to the amusement rides at Carowinds! All rides create forces through the use of engines…diesel, electric, steam, hydraulic, etc. They use lots of pulleys, gears, levers and other mechanical devices to transfer these forces throughout the ride and eventually to the riders. So why do you feel the forces you experience on the rides? All can be explained by Newton’s Three Laws of motion: 1. An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest tends to stay at rest until acted upon by an unbalanced force. (Inertia) 2. F = ma (force is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration) 3. For every action (force) there is an equal and opposite reaction (force).

On March 28, Roland Mack, the Mack family, the mayor (burgermeister) of Rust and special guests opened the park with a ribbon-cutting amid a flurry of showering confetti, balloons, and songs of celebration. The ceremony included a welcome from co- founder Roland Mack that reflected not only on how the park had changed over four decades, but the European community as well. Relation- ships across borders back in 1975 were a far cry from what they are today. It is that in- vigorated sense of European connectivity that has helped Germany’s largest theme park find astounding success.

During the family’s first visit, Carowinds denied them access to at least twelve rides. On the family’s second visit, Carowinds denied them access to at least eight rides, and then later in the day, increased the number of prohibited rides to at least twenty-eight. Mr. Aldridge returned to Carowinds a third time and was again denied access to at least twenty-eight rides at Carowinds. Plaintiffs were denied access based on speculation, stereotypes, and generalizations about their ability to safely enjoy different rides as individuals with lower leg amputations, and not because of legitimate safety requirements. Defendants illegally discriminated against Plaintiffs based on their disability. Plaintiffs desire to return to Carowinds and to enjoy any rides which they are safely able to enjoy. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 1. This action is brought under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 12181-12189.
