Rockin Roller Coaster Research Project By: Stephen Morris Period: 4th The batman rollercoaster is an extreme‚ thrilling rollercoaster. The batman rollercoaster was introduced 1997 and‚ 2‚700 feet long! The original installation of the ride is at Six Flags Great America featured a maximum height of 100 feet while the installations to follow reached 105 feet. The rides reach a top speed of 50 miles per hour and exert up to four

There are many functions of roller coasters such as the chain lift‚ catapult-launch lift etc. The first component is the chain lift the chain lift is a series of connected carts that move on tracks. The train has no engine nor power source the power is gravity and momentum. To build up this momentum(potential energy) the train needs to get to the top of the hill. The lifting mechanism is a long length of chain that runs up the hill under the track. The chain is a fasten loop and the chain on the

Roller Coasters are theme park rides that have tight turns and steep slopes. There are various types of roller coasters created. LaMarcus Adna Thompson obtained one of the first known patents for a roller coaster design in 1885. He was a scientists that discovered roller coasters‚ in addition he began operating a grocery store in Elkhart‚ Indiana. There are eight types of roller coasters. Sitting down‚ standing up‚ inverted‚ suspended‚ pipeline‚ bobsled‚ flying‚ and fourth dimension. Sitting down

“Roller Coasters Are Amazing” Entertainment can take many forms. Amusement rides are a unique example of this. From the merry-go-round to the scrambler‚ amusement rides are fun. Then comes the invention of the roller coaster. Roller coasters are always exciting. Airtime is a fantastic element on a roller coaster. The Blue Streak at Cedar Point is a great airtime legend. The air time is so powerful that my butt slams against the seat when the airtime ends. It is my 18th favorite coaster that I have

Roller coasters‚ one of the best amusement rides that ever existed. This amazing ride traces its origins back to Russia where it all began (Source E). Russia is where wood-framed ice slides sent sledders down 70- foot high slopes in the 16th century‚ in St.Petersburg‚ Russia (Source E). Since‚ Russia was a snowy place‚ the sleds were a perfect pastime. The roller coaster was built out of lumber with a sheet of ice several inches thick covering the surface to make sure it was as safe and sturdy as

Title: Roller Coasters Specific purpose: To inform my audience on two types of roller coasters. Introduction I. Attention getter: What is hard and bumpy‚ sometimes long‚ sometimes short‚ and make some people scream? Roller coasters of course. II. Reveal my topic: Roller coasters have been around for several decades and two types of roller coasters stand out the most‚ wooden and steel. III. Establish credibility: Back when I was in high school I had a group of friends that became coaster junkies

The first type of roller coaster is the wooden roller coaster. The wooden roller coaster braced by wooden cross ties and diagonal support beams. The entire track rest on wooden or steel beams. Some wooden roller coasters can even go upside down but not a lot of modern roller coasters do this anymore. They don’t do this any more because the wooden track is inflexible. This is also why wooden roller coasters don’t have complex twist or turns. The main motion of a wooden roller coaster is from going up

“A roller coaster is considered any elevated track with curves and rises‚ carrying passengers in open‚ rolling cars for entertainment” (5). Today’s roller coasters appear to be tons of tubular metal intertwined around itself‚ but regardless of how big‚ fast‚ or gravity defying they are‚ they all use the same natural force – gravity. The more twisting‚ turning‚ flipping‚ and the faster a roller coaster goes‚ the more the coaster depends on the law of physics‚ not mechanics‚ to keep it moving. There
