This element does a 360 (y-axis) degree turn, making the rider fell weightless

Tatsu is my Favorite coaster and is located at Six Flags Magic Mountain. It is a flying coaster. Flying Coasters are rides in which you are held by a full body harness seat and put paralell to the ground

This element is like a vertical loop, but is at an 80 degree to 45 degree angle.

The entrance and exit of this loop overlap, making the loop look like a pretzel

The first roller coasters were built in Russia in the 17th century. In reality, these first coasters were slides with wooden boxes, but it was a start. The first true roller coaster is, however, debated by historians on where it was built. For this example, let’s say that the first roller coaster was The Les Montagnes Russes à Belleville (The Russian Mountains of Belleville) constructed in Paris in 1812 (Wikipedia). Later in the 1800's, train companies started to make these coasters to supply profit when train ridership was low. These coasters in amusement parks often went through tunnels. Parks started to paint scenery on the inside of these tunnels and became known as "scenic parkways." The roller coaster soon became a staple of amusement parks everywhere. The "golden age" of coasters ended at the start of the Great Depression. In 1959, Disney opened up the Matterhorn Bobsleds. This was the first steel tubular-track style coaster and brought a whole new style to coasters. However, in 1972 the coaster regained its popularity when the Racer was built in Kings Island, Ohio.

Joules are what scientists and engineers use to measure KE and PE.

Potential (PE) and Kinetic (KE) energy (cont.)

PE and KE have a lot to do with coasters. In moving objects, there is a total amount of energy. The total energy will always be the sum of PE and KE. A perfect example is when you are going around a loop (see left)(or the url right here----> http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/asset/mck05_int_rollercoaster/). The total amount of energy will always be KE+PE.

Potential and Kinetic energy have a cause and effect relationship. Potential energy cause Kinetic energy. On a Roller Coaster, Potential energy is when you are going up a hill, and kinetic energy is the energy spent after going down the hill.

This sensation is felt when the normal force (the seat) is no longer existent. Most people feel this when at the top of a loop or at the top of a hill.

Momentum is the measurement of the mass and velocity of an object.

Momentum=mass x velocity

# data[].attributes.body
A "g" is a way to measure the speed of an object while they are in free fall. 1 g is almost 10m/s, so at 3g you are moving at 30m/s towards the center of gravity. The highest g's any coaster has is 6.3 (Tower of terror in Johannesburg S. Africa). The human limit for g's ( before we pass out) is 9g and -3g.

# data[].attributes.body
A force that pushes the object to escape the curve or circle. This force is usually inertia (inertia is technically not a force but for now it is).

# data[].attributes.body
A force that pushes a person to the middle of a curve or a circle. In Roller Coasters, at the to of the loop that force is gravity and at the bottom of the loop that force is the seat (normal force)

Acceleration is the act of and object changing speed and/or direction. Roller Coasters are constantly accelerating and deccalerating. Coasters can be rated by their acceleration.
