I recommend searching for fan-sites of the major theme parks. They normally have some good on-ride footage.\n\nA couple of examples I've found are:\n\nhttp://www.altontowersmagic.com/interactive/Videos/videos.htm\n(click on "Duel On Ride")\n\nor\n\nhttp://www.ukrides.info/usa.htm\n\nThat one has a couple of videos that might be of interest to you.

It really depends on what types of rides you enjoy. There are several rides that are a lot of fun. I particularly like the Orange Stinger. It's like a big swing set and they swing you around the inside of an orange. While you are moving you can smell oranges and hear bees buzzing. It's one of my favorites.\n\nIf you want a little more exictement, check out California Screamin' that's the roller coaster at California Adventure. Soarin' over California is a really fun ride as well. It's really calm and a ton of fun. Also check out the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. This is something I missed during my first trip. But there is a bunch of different things back there you can do that is a lot of fun as well.\n\nAlso check out the Sun Wheel. This is really a must see. It is 16 stories high. You can see so much while you are at the top it is a ton of fun. The out cars don't move, but the innner cars are on like a track that will roll around as the wheel moves. \n\nIn Disneyland I like the Jungle Cruise and Splash Mountain. Peter Pan and Mr. Toad are cute as well. I think Dumbo and Small World are kind of like classic Disneyland, so you should check them out as well. But Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean are really great as well. For a little more excitement I would try Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, or maybe Space Mountain.\n\nThere are just some of my favorite rides. They are all really great.

Cedar Point amusement park hires about 2000 international workers every year.  They offer jobs in Park Operations, Games, Merchandise, Foods, Park Services etc...\n\nCheck the website below.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed- when the roller coaster is pausing before a fall, there is a tremendous amount of potential energy. When the rc falls, the PE gets turned into kinetic energy, so energy is never gained nor lost. the roller coaster will keep on moving until 1 or 2 of 2 things stops it: friction (brakes, air resistence, etc) or gravity, because an object in motion will remain at a steady velocity until acted upon by an outside force. that's all i can think of right now, and part of that isn't even involved in the 3 laws, sorry. ;)

it all depends on the coaster...usually the middle is the best because the front makes you sick and the back hurts your neck....well atleast for me it does\nhope that helped

Hey I think spending the whole day with your best friend at the amusement park would be soooo much fun!! Nothing can go wrong if you're with your best friend! If you're a person who likes to be around alot of people (your friends) then you should have a party!

I think it has to do with the slippage of meanings over time.  Some dictionaries still list the preferred meaning of terrific as, "Causing great terror".  So someone could originally describe their first rollercoaster ride as 'terrific'.  Eventually people come to assume a different meaning for the word.\n\nVery much like, 'awful'.

It is famous because they spend a fortune in advertising.  It also gets good word of mouth recommendations.  It is a fun place to go.  There are lots of rides, shops, restaurants and shows.  You can meet Mickey, Minnie and lots of other Disney characters.  There are parades everyday.  At Epcot Center  there are many educational experiences to be had that are also fun and entertaining.  There are shops representing many countries of the world and a variety of foreign themed restaurants\nPeople go back because new attractions are always being added.  There is a large water park for example.  The  place is extremely well maintained and is spotless.  It just seems to be a good experience for both children and adults.

The Millenium Force in Cedar Point located in Sandusky Ohio. It is the worlds second tallest roller coaster, and the drop at the beginning of the ride is at 88 degrees (almost a vertical drop). \n\nit is so awesome....

Well, I live in L.A., I'm a huge roller coaster enthusiast, and I've been to Six Flags Magic Mountain tons of times, so take my advice.\n\nMy Top 5:\n1. X\n2. Riddler's Revenge\n3. Scream\n4. Goliath\n5. Deja Vu\n\nI haven't been on Tatsu yet, that's why it's not on my list yet.\n\nIf your height is about 5'11'' or taller, I do NOT recommend riding on Viper. Those shoulder restraints push down HARD! I'm 5'11'' and I experienced discomfort in my shoulders after riding Viper. My friend is a little taller than me and he experienced the same exact pain.\n\nThis summer, I'm betting that Tatsu will defintely attract the majority of the visitors, so try to get on the other coasters during the day. Tatsu might even take some heat off X, so go check how long the line is for X. If it's about an hour, it's definitely worth it.

Mostly economic and social factors relate to theme parks.  What's the audience you're trying to attract?  How does a theme park fit into their lifestyle?\n\nPolitics only affects things in terms of zoning and taxes.\nTechnology only affects the business in that you need to be current in the rides and systems you use in designing and building a park.\n\nObviously, they all apply but economic and social factors are the biggest with a theme park.

The forces that act on a roller coaster are Gravity, Friction, and a Centripital force.  Inertia and momentum are not forces.
