Personal Narrative: Roller Coasters
The Fury, the fastest, longest, and tallest rollercoaster on the East Coast. With a top speed of 95 mph and a height of 325 feet makes it the biggest rollercoaster I had ever gotten on, beating the Intimidator 305 by 25 feet. I remember seeing on television and wanting to ride it really badly. It just looked so amazing and since I love rollercoasters and love riding rollercoasters, I knew it was something I had to do. I had ridden lots of rollercoasters before this one such as the Intimidator 305 and the Top Thrill Dragster, which I had enjoyed riding very much, and I figured that the Fury would be just as good. So I asked my parents of we could go to the Carrowinds to ride the Fury. They said yes and we went with my aunt to the Carrowinds. …show more content…
It was the tallest and longest rollercoaster I had ever seen. Some of it was even out of the park! When went to ride it there was a long line but the wait was quick because there were three coasters running on the same track so boarding was quick. I was excited when I first go on it and couldn’t wait to go. The hill on the coaster was extremely tall. You could see the whole park! The coaster was fast and long with several quick turns, small hills, and even a tunnel. When it was over I wanted to ride it again but we went to ride the other rollercoasters in the park. I think that the Fury was the best rollercoaster I had ever

    Indiana Beach Research Paper

    Let inform you a little bit about our trip. When we arrived we received our wrist and everything else. The first ride we went on was the dragon and my stomach dropped on that one but I toughed it out. The second ride we went on was my favorite it was called “The Hurricane”. The Hurricane is a big wooden roller coaster that drops and bumps and swings you all over the cart. It may sound rough but it is super exciting in my opinion. WE went on tons of rides after that but we did some things that are more important.…

    Personal Narrative: I M On A Rollercoaster

    Augustus Waters from The Fault in Our Stars once spoke, "I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up my friend." At one point in my life, I found this quote to be totally insignificant. Now that I look back on my teenage years, I see it. The rollercoaster only went up from the point I opened my big, fat, attitude infested, mouth to my step-mother, Verona. The take off was bumpy, as well the entire rest of the journey up. Though it did eventually come down, not only going up. I came down an entirely different person and didn't have to think of life as a fictional roller coaster to stay happy.…

    This coaster is exactly how it sounds, which the passenger is on the roller coaster standing up instead of sitting down. The different experience of possibly fear and adrenaline simultaneously while standing up while in motion. This type of roller coaster generally requires a height limit because of the set up. This all started in Japan in 1979 called Dangai. The safety of this ride is generally a harness that is mounted of vertical posts that allows different heights of passengers.…

The industry continued into the 1920s, which are known as the “golden age” for roller coasters. Production for roller coasters slowed down during the Great Depression, and by WW2 very few were being produced.…

    Roller Coasters Essay

    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 bottom is ran by a simple motor.The chain dogs are sturdy hinged hooks that catches on to chain links then at the summit the chain dogs are released.…

    Personal Narrative: Do You Like Roller Coasters

    Do you like roller coasters? I do, if haven't ridden one you should at least try it because they are really fun. The first time I rode one I was kind of scared because I didn't know what it was like. My family went on a vacation To Disney World in Florida for the first time. When I told my dad I wanted to ride it he said "you know you don't have to ride it" but I said I really wanted to. When we got there, there was a giant electric guitar and it was as tall as the sky in front of the building. The name of the ride was the Rock'n Roller Coaster, based on the band Arrow Smith. It seemed like a really fun ride. It was inside a building and when I was strapped in it was very comfortable. The ride had two speakers in the headrest playing the band's…

    Firstly the physics behind the rides. The acceleration is what makes rollercoasters so fun and enjoyable and I’ll now explain why they accelerate so quickly. The purpose of the coaster's initial ascent is to build up its potential energy. As the coaster gets higher in the air, gravity can pull it down a greater distance meaning the potential energy increases. You experience this phenomenon all the time; think about riding your bike or pulling your sled to the top of a big hill. The potential energy you build going up the hill can be released as kinetic energy (the movement energy that takes you down the hill).…

    Significant Moment in My Life

    At thirteen years old, I was the kid that no one wanted to drag to an amusement park with because I strictly stuck to the merry go round and swings. My parents were always eagerly trying to persuade me to at least try a roller coaster but I refused. Deep inside I wanted to be fearless and be able to jump on the attraction like there was no problem, but I was too nervous. All of my friends, including my family were adrenaline junkies, always wanting to get on the roughest and worst rides of them all. This naturally caused me to become even more frustrated when attending Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri, which was very often. It wasn’t till one day when visiting the park that I decided I was not just going to take a risk, but I was determined to overcome my first roller coaster.…

    Childhood Memories

    When I heard my parents talking about going to Disney World I was so excited. It was a long trip down to Florida and I could not sit still, because I was so excited. We finally arrived that evening and decided to stay in a hotel near the theme park. When it was time for bed I could not go to sleep for a long time, because I was so excited about going at Disney world. When I saw the big mirror ball from the entrance, I was amazed. Disney world had a wide variety of rides. There were tons of rides that shocked me. Some of these rides made you feel like you were riding in a jet because of how fast they were. There was even a roller coaster ride in the huge mirror ball. It was a slow ride, but I still liked it because there was air conditioning inside the ball. We spent all day at the park until we had ridden everything. That night Disney World had a firework show. The fireworks seemed like they lasted forever with the amazing colors bursting in the air one right after another. When the firework show finally ended my parents told me that it was…
