The Launcher is a ride that will thrill all ages and suit any family. Launcher will take riders from Earth, to space, and then into the planet Mercury.
Launcher is a ride that will suit all types of people. The car the riders sit in is a rocket ship that will sit up to 12 people. 60 mph is the top speed for Launcher, riders may think that is really slow for a roller coaster, but in order for riders to get the full experience for traveling through space, the ride has to travel slower. When the ride takes off into space in the beginning of the ride you will end up at the highest of 198 feet. Most rides last less than a minute but, the Launcher lasts for one minute and 32 seconds, again this is in order for the riders to take in and enjoy …show more content…
After riders are seated and ready for take off (outside), they launch out of ‘Earth’s Atmosphere’ , and start traveling through space. In order for the effect of taking off the Earth into space they go up a hill increasing their velocity, and lowering their air pressure. Riders will then fall down a hill dodging comets, when falling they will experience free fall and weightlessness. Once riders reach space they will travel through a large loop, experiencing centripetal force and centripetal acceleration as they travel through the loop. Riders will jerk left and right to avoid many bumps. When the riders think they are all clear of hitting bumps they will hit one bump that will cause them to use a lot of momentum to get over. While the riders are traveling through ‘space’, they will experience their first meteor shower. They will have to dodge meteors left and right, to escape the dangerous area of space. As they are dodging the meteors riders will see their next destination of landing on Mercury. Once riders try and land on Mercury they will corkscrew around. Landing on the surface of Mercury will cause riders to fall down and and dip in the inside of Mercury, this will cause riders to experience their highest air resistance. When the riders have to resurface they will hit a couple of bumps. After the bumps riders will round the side of mercury causing air resistance. As they round
