Roller coasters are considered as one of the best and biggest attractions at popular amusement parks. The engineering marvel, these big contraptions make men able to have the feeling of flying like a bird. Riders feel like reaching the sky without having wings. This is also certainly amongst the riskier rides available at parks and has long queues of those who are looking for a thrill. Since childhood, kids usually want to be swung around in the arms of their parents. Whether this swing is flying like a kite or plane in a father’s arms or bounced on the knee of grandpas, this is the best way to calm your kids. In a similar way, the thrill attached to this ride is due to its mechanics. In this ride, the passenger’s body is pushed, turned, pulled, twisted, and becomes weightless for a specific timeframe. This becomes possible due to the forces generated by the coaster which could interact with the earth’s gravity. There are different turns and twists and loops with valleys and peaks in the roller coasters that are adding additional thrill to this amazing ride. The maximum potential is gathered by the ride when it goes to the hill. In the rest of this ride, the passenger is pulled down because of gravity which gives a feeling of falling down in space. Only the first hill is big and the rest of the hills are relatively smaller. When this ride moves down then there is the conversion of energy from potential energy to kinetic energy. The turns and twists make the body move forward or backward against the seat that results in a sense of excitement and thrill which is the main factor attracting people towards this roller coaster ride.
