“This entry examines the application of physics principles in a rollercoaster’s design and movement. When you’re on a rollercoaster you forget about all the science that ensures that roller coasters are safe and enjoyable, so we wanted to delve deeper into the science behind all of the exciting thrill. We analyse how these different concepts co-exist to create an experience that everyone will enjoy. We made a video to address the architectural and scientific facts of a rollercoaster. This shows how these laws are manipulated to ensure excitement and safety on rollercoaster rides. We also try to uncover these different fundamentals in a nice catchy rap and song. Our idea is to provide the utmost enjoyment while also being technical at the same time. Rollercoasters perfectly illustrate how the wonders of physics can be leveraged to create stimulating and unforgettable experiences. To conclude, our entry helps people see the world differently through rollercoasters as they now have the understanding and awareness of what physics does through them. They come together beautifully by putting together the realm of scientific knowledge and pure fun this will give everyone a further understanding of how rollercoasters work.”
