ANALYSING THE THRILL IN A THRILL RIDE
The Giant Drop
Thrill Behind Thrill Rides
Since the 1550 amusement parks have flourished among people young and old. Their elaborate shows and fun exhibits create a fun and enjoyable day for old (Goodmagic.com, n.d.). As the years have gone by the attractions have increased. From a simple park full of shows and beautiful landscapes, to the advanced thrill rides that fill modern day amusement parks. The thought of the body being affected by large amounts of force and g-force gives the human body a sense of adrenaline. The same feeling that the parachuting or stunt being gives the body. Adrenaline is defined as the hormone released in the human body when it faces extreme doses of an emotion, being fear, anger or excitement (Merriam-webster.com, 2015). This allows the person to have more energy and more need for this feeling (Merriam-webster.com, 2015). This is known as thrill seeking. …show more content…
In most cases it puts the rider in extreme conditions to allow the body to have the feeling of fear to create the adrenaline hormone. But in order for this to occur the engineer behind the ride must take into consideration various amounts of components which create the hormone in the body. If this has to do with the braking speed of a gravity based ride, the circular motion of an enterprise ride or the velocity of the carriage on a roller coaster they all have a different method in finding out the safest and most effective form of a
