How do we design amusement rides to be cool and safe ?

Probably go after an engineering degree from an ABET acredited school, and then perhaps a masters. For more info check out Disney's imagineering group.

Constructing roller-coasters uses a lot of different branches of math and science.\n\ndepends on the level of the construction:\n\nInvestment and development - probability, game theory, graph theory, statistics, economics, finance\n\nEngineering - trigonometry, calculus, differential equations, differential geometry, physics, mechanics\n\nSafety and sales - probability, optimization, statistics, system theory, computer sciences, analysis, economics, finance\n\nA lot of these branches overlap into each other but I focused on the one part of construction it would most be beneficial.  There are other branches involved that I left out but I think you get the picture it requires a lot of math.

Use marble tracks and domino's.  You can also use hot wheels on tracks to keep it cheap.

I had to write a report on the physics of roller coasters in HS...I don't have any specific websites for you but honestly, search on Google "the physics of rollercoasters" or "physics, rollercoasters" and you should find a lot of infor

I would get pictures of families having fun, that relate to the activities planned for the fun fair, and use them in each slide.  Fun music in the background would be fun too.  Also, if you have pictures of your co-workers doing silly stuff, a little comic relief is good too.  Slip in a few comics from dilburt might be a nice touch.

no.  Although if you plan on being on some roller coasters, I'd recommend putting it up.  Do you really want it all in your face so you can't see anything?

if you like intense thrill rides:\nmission space\ntest track\nsoarin'\n\nif you like less intense rides:\nhoney I shrunk the audience\nviking boat ride (Norway)\n\nthe fireworks show is very good\nand some great restaurants at the many countries

Well the short answer is VERY SAFE. The long answer is, it depends. Usually in a major theme park, like Six Flags or Disney World, they hire engineering firms that specialize in the design and construction of theme park rides. In most jurisdictions, the engineering profession is highly regulated and very strict. In the US for example, several engineers lost their licenses and were found guilty of manslaughter in a case that involved negligence of a design issue. This has made the engineer very aware of the risks involved with this profession. So a major theme park will most likely deal with a reputable firm which will produce a high quality and VERY safe ride for everyone to enjoy.\n\nOne of the most widely reported structural collapses was this one.

Gravitational Potential Energy....\n\nThe gravitational potential energy you have when you are that high in the air is conserved as forward motion (and some heat) that gets your coaster through the rest of the track run!!

i like roller coasters that are slung underneath the track. they are so much smoother and a shitload of fun.

Here are a few sites for designers of water slides

I trust the rides more than the people running the rides.  \n\nMy friends and I stopped at one just for fun and bought enough tickets just to ride the "spin and puke".  The operator asked if we were married.  We all looked at each other and then looked at the operator who was lucky to have two or three of his teeth left and quickly said "yes, we are all married".  He said "Aww, that's too bad, if you weren't I would have let you ride for free..."\n\nSo we climb into one of the spinners and realize that we are in fact the only people that will be on the ride.  He started the spinning and it was really slow at first and then he just kicked it in and we were off!  It was hilarious at first, I was in the middle and I couldn't even lift my head off the back of the ride.  But after several minutes I got freaked out because I started to think he was really messing with us.  He kept the ride going at a really high speed for about ten minutes.  I had a bruise on my head from my hair clip and suffered motion sickness for the first time in my entire life!  \n\nWhen we got home, our men were ready to go visit the man and beat him up.  We didn't let them though.

I'd say it would have to be fun fun fun world. It's the most awsome theme park in the world.
