    I had always feared roller coasters as a young kid. I was scared of the astounding heights that some of them reach and their rapid acceleration. I was intimidated from the horrifying screams of terror from other kids on roller coasters, their high-pitched squeals of absolute terror and adrenaline rushing through their small bodies. For me that was very scary and made me not want to get near one of those monstrous horrifying contraptions. This all changed one day when my parents forced me to go to Six Flags with the rest of my family. Once we entered the gates and got our admission into the park my parents chose this very tall and sleek orange roller coaster that seemed mild for them, but to me it looked like I was going to die if I rode it. As we were trying to board what seemed at the time the death of me, a worker made me stand next to a weirdly animated cut out of a child with a measuring stick to see if I was tall enough to ride it. I hoped I wasn’t tall enough so I wouldn’t have to ride it, but I was quite a bit taller than the card board cut out.…

    Letter of Recommendation—Roller Coaster Roller Coaster was my biggest nightmare when I was young. Unlike other kids, I begged for not going to those amusement parks and my parents were surprised. I was afraid of sitting in an accelerating car at that time, so roller coaster wasn’t even an acceptable concept for me. I couldn’t imagine myself getting tortured by that flying machine, and I couldn’t understand why so many people waited in a queue measured in hours for it. My mother used to incite…

PHYSICS: PHYSICS BEHIND ROLLER COASTER LOOP HOW ROLLER COASTER LOOPS WORK When a roller coaster starts, there is most likely the first hill that is the biggest out of all the others.

    Drop is a term we, cousins use to describe the motion of the roller coaster, when it goes very high up and comes rushing down the track in a nineties degree angle. That was the day I discovered my deep hidden fear of heights. The rushing down wasn’t the scariest part though, scariest part was slowly going up the track and looking down as if the track just cracked and I am falling towards it with a face down legs up stance. Anyways after the ride, we went and drank some cold sodas and had a nice…

    As I looked out of the bus window, half awake from sleeping on the bus ride, I saw a large blue structure with flashing lights at the top jutting into the partly cloudy spring sky. To the right of it was another one, similar looking, but was yellow and red and was somehow even taller than the blue one. I then nervously looked down the aisle out the windshield at the three lane road, each lined with cars and other buses, that was headed toward the island-like peninsula. As we lurched slowly down…

    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…

    S-C-R-E-E-C-H! I quickly covered my ears. I listened to the roller coaster as it pulled in with panting people. As the metal gates swung open, I jumped back with fear, bumping my mom. "Sorry mom", I sputtered. "It's... it's... I'm really scared", I said, with my voice shaking. What if I fall off? What if the roller coaster stops at the top of the loop? I thought nervously as we walked over to the roller coaster. "Dad, are you really going to take your phone and your hat? What if they fall out…
