A few years ago, on a class trip, my friends had asked me to ride at least one roller coaster. It was not a large roller coaster, but it made me queasy just looking at it. I was confident that I would be able to go on and enjoy the experience. My confidence quickly evaporated when we began climbing up the roller coaster’s first hill. The ride dropped, and I was screaming so loudly that I could only hear myself.…
It’s a blast! We have recently just opened up a new ride in Hersheypark entitled “The Star Wars Coaster”. It’s an ongoing water slide that has many unique properties.

Cruising for my dream car project taught me things that I didn’t know before. One of the things that I learned is that you pay interests depending on the length of the loan. If you pay the loan in less time, for example 48 months then I would pay the interest rate of 1.93% but if I decide to pay it in 60 months then I would pay an interest rate of 2.04%. Another factor that affects the percentage of interest you paid is your credit. If you have good credit then your interest rate will be less.…
On November 28, 2008, Philadelphian journalist Brian Hickey went to a bar in the city to meet up with some old friends. On his walk to the train station to return home, he was struck by a car and left for dead, unconscious, on the poorly-lit street. Luckily, a nearby resident heard the accident and called the police as the car sped off. Paramedics rushed him to Cooper University Hospital where he was immediately intubated and monitored for stability. Brian’s simple night out ended with him acquiring a traumatic brain injury or TBI, which would forever alter his life as he knew it.…
I waited, very shaky in the long line to go on Rockin’ Rollercoaster. It was a warm day where the sun was shining down and I was pacing back and forth the whole morning in the hotel room. I had terrible butterflies in my stomach. Waiting in line felt like forever, but in all reality not much time had past.…
With the common decision to get a job at the age of sixteen, I worked the summer after sophomore year. With this, my Summer break suddenly took a turn into the busy lane. The work was hard and physically demanding, however, every morning that I arrived at work, my worries disappeared. Unfortunately, though it did come to an unwelcome end when I had gotten in a simple accident. The only injury that I had received from the accident was a concussion.…
The origin of the roller coaster comes from Russia, in a particular area of what would later become St. Petersburg , where they sent sledders down 70-foot high slopes that were wood-framed ice slides. They have been doing this as early as the 16th century. The roller coasters were built out of wood with ice more than two but not a lot of inches thick covering the surface. There were stairs attached to the back of the slide that the riders climbed and then they sped down the fifty degree drop and climbed up the stairs of the slide that laid parallel and opposite to the first one.…

Life can be compared to a roller coaster, for it's similarities and it's differences. The similarities are obvious; Life has it's ups and downs, the ride can be scary and thrilling at the same time. Once you're strapped in, you're in until the fat lady sings. The differences are that with a roller coaster you know around how long the ride will last. You know who is going to be sitting beside you the whole time and you know where the highs and lows are going to be.…
On 27 December, 2007, a traumatic brain injury tried to kill me, and it failed, miserably. I remember the manager coming into work drunk and high. I remember her threatening my elderly residents.…
Propulsion is a force that pushes forward or drives and object forward. This concept can be seen in action with the use of a balloon powered car; this car demonstrates a type of propulsion system in which it produces thrust and potential energy and uses the kinetic energy that it will gain from the movement to push the car forward. The thrust is obtained from the balloon which applies Newton’s third of motion that states, “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Specifically, the balloon car’s action of the air escaping from the straw causes the reaction being the movement of the car. In my car, the design was formulated to best execute those actions with the fairly light materials allowing the car to have the maximum potential…
However, just as I said this the spiritless roller coaster attendant strapped me in permanently ensuring I couldn’t back out. After the attendants strapped everyone in, they did their whole spiel on how we were going to have a great time, but the words muddled in my mind as I was more focused on breathing. The car moved onward and screeched at us as if in warning. Then suddenly the car stopped, I’m pretty sure just to spite us.…
