    Roller coasters with loop-the-loops are generally rides that appeal to thrill seekers, however without the use of dynamics, these rides would not be able to function.

    Tick! Tick! Tick! The metal monster slowed to a stop. I could see the entire park all the way to the horizon. Admiration flowed through me while looking at the view. I heard a click when WHOOSH, the roller coaster zoomed down the track. I’m in the second row. The unbelievable force as the roller coaster accelerates down the drop made my eyes bulge. The extreme amount of pressure made my heart fly to my head, and for all I know, my kidney may now be in my arm. I found myself smiling the whole…

    Roller coasters have always intrigued me. It amazes me that people eagerly exchange the safety of the ground for the well sought out moment to be tossed through the air like debris in a hurricane, flying around in the sky. Someone at some point in history thought that people would enjoy such crazy experiences, and that person engineered what some of the first of these terrifying machines.

    Skating My Way When will we get there? I think over and over again while closing my eyes, listening to the noises. Hearing engines flying across the roaring road. For when we get there I’ll be able to hear the loud music and the wheels move across the floor as people skate. Me I can’t skate at all unless you can count hanging onto the walls skating. As we finally get there I see someone that I would’ve never expected to see. A girl my age with a bob-cut and hot pink highlights. “Hey…

    I waited, very shaky in the long line to go on Rockin’ Rollercoaster. It was a warm day where the sun was shining down and I was pacing back and forth the whole morning in the hotel room. I had terrible butterflies in my stomach. Waiting in line felt like forever, but in all reality not much time had past. I waited and waited. I felt like one of those cartoon characters who is standing around waiting for something awful to happen. I looked up at my dad sniffing and wiping the cold tears that…
