For Teachers Annenberg/CPB Channel A free satellite channel for schools, colleges, libraries, public broadcasting stations, public access channels, and other community agencies. You've bought your ticket and boarded the roller coaster. Now you're barreling down the track at 60 miles per hour, taking hairpin turns and completing death-defying loops. Your heart is in your throat and your stomach is somewhere near your shoes. The only thing separating you from total disaster is a safety harness...but are you really in danger? The designers of the roller coaster carefully crafted this thrilling ride to be just that, but you're actually in less danger than you think. You face a greater threat of injury playing sports or riding a bike than you do on a park ride. Amusement park rides use physics laws to simulate danger, while the rides themselves are typically very safe. How do physics laws affect amusement park ride design? In this exhibit, you'll have a chance to find out by designing your own roller coaster. Plan it carefullyit has to pass a safety inspection.You can also experiment with bumper car collisions.

About the Park Surrounded by the same stately trees for which it was named, The Oaks, in Portland, Oregon in 2005 will celebrate its 100th consecutive year of operation, making it one of the oldest continuously operating amusement parks in America. Built by the Oregon Water Power and Navigation Company, the park opened its gates on May 30, 1905 to Portlanders who arrived by foot and on horseback, in automobiles and by boat from the Willamette River. In keeping with the design of other "Trolley Parks" across the country, most of its visitors disembarked from trolley cars which ran along the Portland-to-Oregon City tracks forming the eastern boundary of the park.

The state doesn't regulate the rides at big theme parks, despite the attempts to make each one bigger, faster and more wild than the last. By CRAIG PITTMAN, Times Staff Writer Published June 19, 2005 [AP photo] Mission: Space at Epcot set a new standard for thrill rides in Florida theme parks. For instance, it was the first one to be equipped with airsickness bags. [Times file photo: Bill Serne] According to court reports, Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls at Universal's Islands of Adventure has drawn at least 10 lawsuits from injured riders. The ride ends in a 75-foot plunge at 50 mph. Every year millions of people flock to Walt Disney World, which touts itself as "The Happiest Celebration on Earth." But for a few families, it is a setting for tragedy.
