roller coasters part 1

Today in class, we started on the roller coaster/skate park project. Mrs. Rousseau went over the guidelines for the project and went over the prices. Some of our team mates didn't agree with the prices, arguing that the prices were rip-offs and such. What surprised me the most was that I either had to write something about the coaster, create a flyer/brochure/website about the coaster saying how Newtons laws apply to the coaster and the cost to ride the coaster and such. At http://www.sixflags.com/greatAdventure/rides/Kingdaka.aspx, the fastest tallest coaster, Kingda Ka is a great example of a coaster for this projects, except for the fact that the cart is launched at 128 mph via hydrolic lift. However, the best example that I can give you is The greatest wooden coaster EL TORRO. With more than four hills and second fastest coaster, you'll literally scream your head off at the beastly twister finale. These coasters will make the other coasters look like scale models made of cardboard. Who knows. your design might be made into a real roller coaster someday.
