Roller Coaster For many people, there is only one reason to go to an amusement park: the roller coaster. Some people call it the "scream machine," with good reason. The history of this ride reflects a constant search for greater and more death-defying thrills. How does a roller coaster work?
What you may not realize as you're cruising down the track at 60 miles an hour is that the coaster has no engine. The car is pulled to the top of the first hill at the beginning of the ride, but after that the coaster must complete the ride on its own. You aren't being propelled around the track by a motor or pulled by a hitch. The conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy is what drives the roller coaster, and all of the kinetic energy you need for the ride is present once the coaster descends the first hill.. Once you're underway, different types of wheels help keep the ride smooth. Running wheels guide the coaster on the track. Friction wheels control lateral motion (movement to either side of the track). A final set of wheels keeps the coaster on the track even if it's inverted. Compressed air brakes stop the car as the ride ends.

Oh, baby. I've heard of "the earth moving," but this is a bit much. Roller coasters have been known to make some people squeal with delight, send others into states of near shock, and induce nausea in an unfortunate few. But one German woman claims that a roller coaster ride helped make her pregnant. According to All Headline News , a 28-year-old woman and her husband had been trying to conceive their first child and had sought the help of a fertility clinic. After years without any luck, the pair finally scored a positive pregnancy test after a post-coital ride on Expedition GeForce, a roller coaster at Holiday Park in Hassloch, Germany. (No, the lovemaking took place at home, before going to the park, you pervert!) A doctor speaking on behalf of the couple said that the ride's G-forces made the difference. The 173-foot steel coaster reaches a top speed of 74 mph and delivers up to 4.5Gs. There's no word whether the couple's medical insurance will cover their theme park tickets. There's also no word whether Holiday Park officials are considering posting a warning on their coaster.

    Twelve people taken to hospital after ride "froze" and shut down. Mission: Weekend Warriors at Six Flags Great Adventure
    During an extreme sports show at around 6 p.m. a female jet skier went off a 6-8 foot jump. Upon landing, she didn't clear the jump area right away. A male on a jetski immediately behind her went off the jump and landed directly on top of her head and body. Right after the accident the announcer closed the show and asked everyone to leave (it took awhile to clear the stadium). [Editor's note: The performer, Ann-Marie Elia, 32, of Reseda, Calif., was treated and released from CentraState Medical Center.] Haunted Hotel at Warner Bros. Movie World Madrid
    According to a statement from the park, a 23-year-old Spanish man died after trying to climb out of the safety restraints on the ride. The movement of the attraction caused the man to hit his head, inflicting a fatal injury. Park emergency workers responded and the victim was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Complete list of verified incidents.
