Roller Coaster Biography

We were walking and then we stopped at the ride called “Boomerang”. The ride was another roller coaster. I begged my dad not to go on the ride because he said let’s go on the ride. Unfortunately, I gave up begging him and he we went in line. The good thing is that the line wasn’t really long. After waiting for twenty minutes, we finally got on the ride. I looked around and was frighten. I knew the ride would first turn forward and then backwards. The ride started and I screamed. The ride wasn’t as bad as “Medusa” which is a good thing. After the ride was done, I was happy to get off the ride.I thought the ride was actually really fun and I loved it.

When the Civil War erupted at the attack on Fort Sumter in 1861, fighting was mainly driven by political tensions, all of which ultimately spawned from the question of slavery. During the Antebellum Period, the United States experienced a gradually intensifying sectional conflict that threatened the unity of the nation. Compromises between the North and South had become futile. Contrary to popular belief, the goals of Lincoln and the North did not involve the emancipation of slaves and restoration of equality and the opportunity of prosperity for all Americans. Most Northerners fought to preserve the newly split Union, while Southerners fought to protect what they believed to be inalienable states’ rights. Ultimately, precarious African American

The first roller coasters were patented by LaMarcus Adna Thompson in 1885 (Wikipedia), but roller coasters existed long before their paten. Back in late sixteenth century Russia there was a sport known as ice sliding where one would start at the top of a 70-foot wooden structure and pummel down a 600 feet long track on one’s 2-foot-long sleigh (Throgmorton 10). Ice sliding was only available during the winter months, so in the warmer months the Russians would affix wheels to their sleighs so they could enjoy sliding year round. Then in the late eighteenth century a French traveler built a conveyer-like coaster by placing rollers on a wooden track so that riders could coast down the track, thus came the name Roller Coaster (Throgmorton 10).

One summer day in July , Me and my friend Carol went to an amusement park called Cedar Point . Cedar Point is located in Sandusky , Ohio and two and a half hours away . My mom and me wanted to go on a ride called the Maverick . The Maverick is Cedar Point’s steepest roller coaster and its speed is 70 miles per hour . The Maverick also has a 95 degree drop ! Then we went in line and waited for about an hour and a half . It was about eleven o'clock when we got close to the front of the line . When we finally got to the roller coaster I regretted going on because it was very dark and I couldn't see where the drop was and I don’t like steep roller coasters . Because of that me and Carol where panicking the whole way up . As soon as we got to the

As Ralph Waldo Emerson once added “What you are afraid to do, is a clear indication of the next thing you need to do.” As we were pulling into the parking lot of Hersheypark, I looked up and saw a gigantic coaster, the tallest upside down coaster in the whole entire park. Before we took our trip we did research on the best rides at the park, Fahrenheit was one of the tallest coasters with a 97 degree drop and 60 mph during the ride. I was only 10 at the time and I had never gone on an upside down roller coaster before. As we were entering the park, the rollercoaster was to the left of the entrance. I was hoping we would be able to go to the other side first so I could avoid the coaster for a little while. Just my luck, we turned to the left,

When we first started learning about energy, I instantly loved it because was just so good at dealing with whatever equations and systems I could throw at it. As opposed to kinematics, for example, using energy to solve problems and equations works for almost anything because it can operate pretty well no matter the change in acceleration. All energy needs most of the time is mass, velocity, height, and gravity, and these things are exactly what the roller coasters such as the ones at Six Flags need as well. Roller coasters have no motors. They simply use gravity and height to gain speed to have the ability to traverse loops, twists, and whatever else may be on the track.

Odysseus, sweat dripping down his face, musters up all of his courage and attacks the wild giant Polyphemus with his newly fashioned spear blinding the foe and allowing for a narrow escape. Throughout the book The Odyssey by Homer, Odysseus faces mythical enemies and nearly impossible odds. Each encounter requires more courage and mental strength in order to complete his journey home to Ithaca. It requires 10 years for Odysseus to make his journey home and the only reason he is able to persist through each hardship is his courage. It allows him to endure the worst but still be able to power through. The article “Courage vs. Boldness: How to live with Spartan Bravery” by Brett McKay describes the pros and cons of courage and boldness. In considering the events of The Odyssey, as well as the definition of courage laid out in McKay’s article, it is clear that Odysseus is a character who demonstrates more courage than boldness because he has the endurance to continually fight to get home, his cunningness that allows him to defeat his enemies with slim odds, and his inability to accept defeat.

We will look at the roller coaster. This is possibly one of the main attractions at an amusement park. What many people don't recognize is the fact that roller coasters aren't propelled by an engine. There is a good reason to back up the fact that the first hill is always the highest. Once the coaster is pulled up the hill by the crank, potential energy is at its fullest. As the coaster is making its way down the hill, that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. At the bottom of the hill, kinetic energy is at its highest. Throughout the rest of the ride, the coaster is simply propelled by the constant conversion from potential to kinetic energy and back again. Another factor that enters into the extreme speeds that roller coaster

What do you think about when you're on a roller coaster? Do you ever think how you're being pulled up this huge hill or down the hill?

A roller coaster consists of a wealth of physics. The main ones would be work, which is Potential energy, and the other being energy, which would be Kinetic energy. In this paper I will explain the potential energy and Kinetic energy in a roller coaster. Potential energy will always vary depending on the weight of the object and the height that it’s at or going to. In this case a roller coaster requires a lot of potential energy due to the fact that the car is not motorized and are heavy due to the fact that they are loaded with a lot of people plus its own weight.

My worries had returned, it was like as if the roller coaster was calling my name!! After we finished eating, we came back to ride other rides, I saw someone that had just gotten off Storm Runner, the guy puked all over the ground. The thing that came to my mind was, “will that be the roller coaster I will ride”?! Shortly after the incident, my parents told my brother and I that we will be riding the roller coaster now, I was nervous when they said it, my family and I were surrounded by roller coasters, I was shocked I didn’t notice. I was even more shocked when we got in line!! The roller coaster I was going to get on was Wild Mouse, I freaked out!! I immediately told my parents I would not ride it, so we went on Wild Cat. Somehow Wild Mouse was scarier then Wild Cat, which I thought was dumb.

Click, click, click your almost to the top of the hill and then whoosh your flying down the track. Not thinking about anything when really you put all your faith in a little cart connected to a metal track. There are really three main points when looking at roller coasters the history, making, and thrill of the coaster.

Ride the outdoor adventure roller coaster today it's lightning fast with a great scenery. Outdoor adventure will accommodate both thrill seekers and riders looking for a fun time. For the thrill seekers out there you will go above the peaks of our Alpes which will send you rushing down for air. In a pitch black cave you are flipped upside down in a matter of seconds. Coming bearing out of the cave you will be seeing a landscape of trees and grass to grazing animals on the mountain side. After you level out you will go up and over hills and see campers in their tents. Back up the mountain you go but don't be fooled. You are brought right back down and through another pitch black cave but this time you are introduced to something different.

I was always scared of roller coasters, something about them made me feel weird inside. I would go to Great America with my friends and wait outside the rides that were scary for me. I never really thought about getting on any rides that dropped at the speed of lightning and loops that make your stomach flip upside down twenty times. I would just sit down and watch the rides as they dropped. That was until one day, my friend told me “Close your eyes I’m taking you to somewhere that’s fun.” I didn’t know what she meant by that but I did what she told me to do. She also covered one of my ears I didn’t know why. “Open your eyes Steven.” I did and at that moment my mouth dropped. I tried running from the line but it was too late. My friend had made me get in line for the scariest coaster in the park. It was named “Flight Deck” .The seats were empty and the small gates opened. She pushed me into the seat and locked me in as fast as she could. I heard the snap which meant the seat was

The impediments in the drug cooperation in the Colombia and Mexico in the books and my experience is the corruption and the fear to be kill, I explain in Mexico and Colombia is tremendous cooperation from the government with the United States and other organizations like INTERPOL, the problem does not relay on the amount of cooperation or information. In these two countries, other factor intervenes the first one is the low salaries that the police organizations pay to the police organizations pay to their agents in exchange to combat the organize drug cartels. This police officers many times see themselves approach by the cartels and offer money for information and they see themselves in an endless war were at the end they finish dead or betray.
