LoveToKnow Themeparks:AllComments

Nicola - Technology is used all over theme parks, depending on the types of technology you're interested in. Sophisticated computer systems with photo cells, magnets, and air pressure help operate coasters and other rides, and many parks have advanced computer systems that are involved with security, admissions, and even weather prediction. Of course, live entertainment shows also have a lot of lighting, fog, video, and sound equipment, and most parks also have infirmary equipment for medical emergencies. There are lot of other ways, these are just a few!

Jessica - I'm sorry, we do not have the technical type of information you are seeking. I'd suggest you contact a specific roller coaster manufacturer for the details you're interested in; I'm sure they can give you plenty of great information. You can find their contact information by visiting their official sites; I'd recommend searching for these popular manufacturers: Intamin, Bolliger & Mabillard, Great Coasters International, and Premier Rides. Best of luck!

My name is Jessica Johnson, I go to Doss High School in Louisville, Kentucky. I'm doing a science project on roller coasters and i wanted to know if you could answer a few questions. We need to interview someone. 1 How do you think of a structure for a new roller coaster? 2 How do you use the possible weight that'll be on the roller coaster? 3 What factors do you consider when building a roller coaster? 4 how do you determine how much friction, inertia, speed, and acceleration before it is build. 5 How do you make the ride safe and know the people are going to be secure? 6 How do you determine how steep the first hill should be and how the car goes after the first hill

If you can not give me any information on these qustions it would help me alot if you could foward this to someone you think could or give me their information so that i may contact them please. Thank You, Jessica Johnson
