Mount Everest Roller Coaster Research Paper

Decent Essays
When I was about 12 years old my dad took me to Disneyland to ride the Mount Everest roller coaster. This was going to be my first ever roller coaster so I was pretty excited. However, my excitement quickly turned to fear when the ride started moving. It was too fast, too high, and too loud for 12 year old me. I don’t remember much from the ride, but I know that there was a yeti, “broken” tracks, and a lot of screaming by both the riders and the yeti. While this particular ride was a bit too much for me at the time, the rest of our trip was extremely fun. There was so much food and so many rides and prizes to win. Most or the activities at Disneyland are fun for all ages, which makes a great place to be with the family.

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.…

    Sit back, buckle up, and get ready to scream because I love roller coasters. My family and I go to Cedar Point about every month in the summer, and my dad and I go and ride everything in the park. It is just so fun! The one thing I really like about roller coasters is that there are little rides for the youth kids also. My least favorite thing is when I am not tall enough to enjoy a ride, which doesn’t really occur anymore.…

    So this meant that my brother and sister got to sit in the very front of the roller coaster car, and my dad and I were right behind them. When we got in, it seemed like no time had passed from when we got in the line, to when we were seated in the ride getting ready for a moment that I would never forget. We waited for about 30 seconds for the workers to make sure everybody was strapped in safely. When the carts then started down this tiny slope to a straight away over the water. I was a mix of scared and excited for the ride.…

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.…

    When I was about nine years old, my family was debating about going to Cedar Point the upcoming weekend. I hadn't rode many roller coasters in my life at that time because I was only nine.
