Abandon all hope," warns the sign above the spinning rotor ride at the Coney Island amusement park in New York City. But that didn't stop Lourdes Gonzalez, 24, and dozens of other thrill seekers from climbing aboard last July. At first, everything ran as scary - but as "normal" - as usual, Gonzalez says. She and the other passengers lined up along the inner rim of the barrel-like ride. The operator set the barrel spinning and the liders were "glued" to the wall. When the floor dropped out, they felt like they were flying.

Congressman Ed Markey (D-MA), a frequent critic of the industry, has proposed federal regulation for fixed-site amusement park rides. Markey has advocated granting jurisdiction over such rides to CPSC. CPSC currently has jurisdiction only over mobile rides.

45. The Thrill Of The Ride - Do Amusement Park Rides Fascinate You? Rollercoasters? Love them or hate them? Why do we seek the thrill of these extreme rides? Are they safe? http://www.kidsturncentral.com/topics/news/rollercoaster.htm

News The Thrill of the Ride Would you strap yourself into a canvas wrap, attached to a bungee cord and be tossed around fifteen stories off the ground? Would you climb into a small car, buckle up the seat belt and plunge down a wooden track? Do you like being flipped upside down at racing speeds around hairpin curves? Thrill Seekers I will be the first to admit it. I do not like roller coasters, wild rides, bungee jumping or anything that tosses me around and makes me what to throw up when I get off of it. Having said that....this past week I spent a day at Canada's Wonderland near Toronto, Ontario. The popular theme park is home to many thrill rides. If the long lines of kids were any indication, most people don't feel the same way I do. What I don't quite understand is, what is it that makes you want to ride these things? Is it the danger? The feeling that you are out of control? Do you like the feeling of helplessness? What is it that makes so many of you want to actually strap yourself into these things and for a few short minutes get the thrill of flying? There is nothing new about roller coasters. The world's oldest standing roller coaster dates back to 1902. The first coasters rode on rickety wooden tracks.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Roller coaster enthusiasts can climb http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/nevada/2002/oct/16/101610482.html

Printable text version Mail this to a friend October 16, 2002 Study: Amusement park rides do not cause brain injuries By MICHAEL RUBINKAM ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Roller coaster enthusiasts can climb aboard without fear, according to researchers who say there is no evidence that even the fastest, tallest rides cause brain injuries. Roller coasters simply do not produce enough "head rotational acceleration" to cause either bleeding or swelling of the brain, according to researchers at the University of Pennsylvania who studied data from rides at three parks. "Looking at the absolute maximum head acceleration, we found that those numbers were nowhere near known thresholds for brain injuries," said Penn neuroscientist Dr. Douglas H. Smith, co-author of the study appearing in Wednesday's edition of the Journal of Neurotrauma. Other researchers, however, disputed the findings and said more work needs to be done. Politicians and consumer advocates have long questioned the safety of coasters, citing more than a dozen reports of brain injuries since 1979, most of them since 1990. One elderly patient died. The reports have led to state and federal legislation. On Oct. 1, New Jersey became the first state to limit the gravitational forces, or G-forces, of amusement-park rides. And U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., has proposed legislation that would subject roller coasters to federal oversight.

By DEMORRIS LEE Published July 20, 2005 [Times photo: Melissa Lyttle] Jessica Rogers, 8, sports a sign in protest of Busch Gardens on the back of her wheelchair Tuesday. TAMPA - Jessica Rogers plunged into an Olympic-sized pool and swam the 25-meter breast stroke this week at the National Junior Disability Championships in Tampa. But Monday afternoon, the 8-year-old athlete was denied access to three Busch Gardens rides, including the 6-inch-deep kiddy water rapids. Ride attendants took one look at the little girl with no legs, called their managers and turned her away, not wanting to be responsible.
