And this energy conversion keeps going as the train goes up and down on the track. - Have you ever noticed the loop-the-loop is never a perfect circle, but looks more like an inverted teardrop? It’s not a design flaw, but a well thought-over choice. - In fact, they do. In case something goes wrong, and emergencies can happen anywhere, the operators will have to hit the safety break. And the restraints won’t be able to protect someone below the minimum height requirements. - There’s a famous roller coaster in Universal Studios Florida theme park that’s called Rip Ride Rockit. It offers its passengers on-ride video from cameras installed in every row, LED lighting and on-ride music! - After Napoleon had been defeated at Waterloo, the Russian soldiers occupied Paris and must have brought the sliding tradition with them. This is how the great grandfather of modern roller coasters was born in 1817. - The oldest roller coaster in the world that you can still ride was opened in Altoona, PA in 1901. It’s called Leap-The-Dips. - Kingda Ka is currently the tallest roller coaster in the world. It is located in Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey and stands proud at 456 feet (139 m) tall. That’s taller than the Statue of Liberty at 305 feet (93 m).
