Roller coaster

What are the stereotypes? “Hey Sami are you ready for some awesome roller coasters here at Six Flags?” Matt (trombone) says as I step off of the bus with my best friend Regan right on my heels. Before I am able to utter a syllable, Regan grabs my elbow and whispers, “Wait I thought we were going to ride everything in the park today.” Now granted I love my best friend, but she is not the best person to ride roller coasters with since she scares easily. Based off of their sectionals, which I was…

This fun-filled roller coaster is one that you will never forget. You will be jumping up and down, ecstatically knowing that you’re about to ride Toy Story Express. Not only are all the twists and turns super enjoyable, but so is the entertaining scene that you experience as you speed past some of the characters from Toy Story. The surrounding environment is a bedroom, much like Andy’s. You’ll get the perspective of the toys as you accelerate towards things like a giant bed, dresser, desk, and a…

The world is a busy place. Many demands are made on our time. So how do we squeeze in quality time for ourselves? One thing that I have noticed is people not suffering from Bipolar Disorder, don’t understand how truly draining it is. They make seemingly simple demands on your time and then are confused or even upset when you can’t follow through. I want to give a glimpse into the Bipolar brain to explain why that is. First of all, if you have Bipolar Disorder, you probably spend the majority…

So, in this example, the chain system on the hill is the unbalanced force putting work on the coaster, causing the coaster to move up or accelerate up the hill. Finally, his third law is shown when you are accelerating. When there is more mass on the ride, it will take more force to accelerate the coaster. The time between each aspect of the roller coaster in very small. Making in never boring where you are just staying at a constant speed. Towards the end of the ride, you…

Is there anything that sticks out in your mind as a cultivator of unhappiness? What will you do to challenge these feelings in your life? Personally, I am tired. Tired of living a life influenced by the unrealistic expectations and societal standards of beauty and happiness. However, instead of whining about it, I've decided to be proactive and gain a better understanding of who I want to be while changing my perspective to revitalize my life. Ultimately, life is too precious to waste, so as…

Roller coasters are one of the most terrifying things known to man. The steep hills, the extreme speeds, or even the sudden stops and the unexpected take offs. For an odd reason no one knows, we enjoy them with an passion. Six flags, one of the most famous amusement parks in America, and that’s where me and my dad decided to go to for my eleventh birthday. It was at hot and very sunny July evening, temperatures almost reaching up 100 degrees. Screams, Laughing, and god awful smells from all the…

Playing It Safe Amusement parks entertain and thrill people all around the world. The origin of the amusement park stems from medieval times, when European cities would host “pleasure gardens,” which included games, rides, dancing, fireworks and other diversions (Baughman, Bondi, Layman, McConnell, and Tompkins, 2001). In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the United States began hosting the world’s fair, and competition for prestige, press attention, and visitors spread across the county…

So my sisters went on the roller coaster while my mom and I went to go on a less scary simulation ride. We were waiting…

For the last five summers, my daughter and I spend a week riding the roller coasters at Dolly Parton’s theme park, Dollywood, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. A large part of the park’s atmosphere is in the recreation of a turn of the century Smoky Mountain town complete with mills, churches, farm houses, blacksmith shops, and general stores. Additionally, Dollywood pipes in music to set the tone and ambience. The song most heard is always Parton’s 1970 recording of Jimmie Rodgers’ “Muleskinner…
