They say laughter is good for the soul, and fun is always good when well spent with family and friends. Imagine going around in a dizzy circle, laughing and crying at the same time because you’re dropped from over 20 feet in the air, because truth be told, what’s a fair without rides? While pigging out on fair foods and winning small prizes are fun, the fair has so much more to offer and here are a few attractions you don’t want to miss.

The rides at The Pavilion are not as adrenaline rushing as the rides at Carowinds. Top Spin is a lot like a Ferris wheel and a boat in one. While one part of the ride is going
While entering Islands of Adventure I heard this very loud roar and didn’t know where it was coming from, so I kept walking forward to try and find out and on my left I see this big green roller coaster roaring as it did flips and turns so I followed in amazement and I said aloud, “I wonder what is the name of this ride”? Someone answered me and said “this is the incredible hulk; how don’t you know about this ride”. As I walk through the park I noticed that there are different sections of the park such as superhero land, the lost continent, and wizardly world of harry potter. My favorite one had to have been the lost continent because of this new ride called “The Reign of Kong”. The Reign of Kong was based off of the movie King Kong, but while in the ride it made you feel like you are really in the jungle trying to escape from the dinosaurs and Kong comes and kills them then blood splashes over everyone. After walking around the park all day we got ready to go back to our room it began to pour down rain while walking back to our
Cedar Fair Entertainment is one of the top amusement parks in the world. Their main office is located in Sandusky, Ohio. Cedar Fair owns and operates 11 amusement parks, six outdoor water parks, one indoor water park as well as five hotels (Cedar Fair, 2013). One of the amusement parks is known by the name of Kings Dominion and it is located in Doswell, Virginia. The Kings Dominion Park caters to young adults and has a huge water park that is called WaterWorks.
The second one is Gold Striker, one of the favorite’s roller coaster for kids. This roller coaster is tallest and fastest wooden in Northern California; Gold Striker stands 108.2 Feet High and travels 53.7 MPH (Great America). So many people want to try Gold Striker because of its sheer height, not to mention the fact that the ride spanned almost the entire park. To go that fast for so long seemed so thrilling to people. It's been by far the most fun amusement park ride people have ever been on. The last one is Superman roller coaster, one of the favorite’s roller coaster for kids and adults. It over-sized strength, mega speed, and pretty much at the top of his class when it comes to flying (Six Flags). where as most rides have you buckled to seat and have you rigidly set in place, the Superman has you riding with your hands out front and your feet behind you, like a superhero flying through the air. People are really enjoying riding the Superman. On a lot of roller coasters, it seems like your eyes spend the majority of the time looking at the seats in front of you. On the Superman, you're facing toward the ground, away from the track and all the other parts of the
With the opening of America’s first roller coaster in 1873, a new innovative market was introduced into the American industrial market. With it came a new set of challenges that pushed the limits of the engineering methods used at the time. Oddly enough though, America’s safest roller coaster ever built was also the simplest; the Mauch Chunk Railway was originally used to bring coal down the mountainside of a Pennsylvania mine. The now unused 2,322 feet of track was re-opened a few months later for the purpose of carrying passengers down the side of the mountain. The rail cars used did not have brakes or an engine; they simply used the force of gravity to take the train and its passengers, sometimes at speeds upwards of 60 miles per hour, down the side of the mountain until it came to a rest at the bottom. “The railway offered spectacular views of the Lehigh River and the Blue Ridge Mountains for the region's visitors to see. The area became a large Nineteenth Century tourist attraction and people came from all over to be thrilled by the M.C.R.” (Sandy). Throughout the ride’s 56-year span of passenger operation, not a single injury was reported. Since the ever-simplistic entertainment methods of the 1920’s, our industrial capabilities have grown in geometric proportions; however the one problem is they have been severely lagged by the safety and control systems that govern them. Recently, however, advancements in computer technology have yielded a drastic improvement in these control systems that have allowed ride designers to design increasingly safer and more reliable ride systems.
Six Flags Over Georgia is a theme park containing anything from sweet treats to fun rides. Six Flags provides many activities for all ages. It is not at all uncommon to see famous cartoon characters, such as bugs Bunny, roaming around the park. Olde r children and adults who possess strong stomachs may enjoy riding the various roller coasters available. For example, The Ninja, is my favorite. The Ninja goes up and down steep hills and even loops upside down. Six Flags also has water rides availabl e to keep people cool. My favorite is Thunder river. Last June, I was lucky enough to get caught under the waterfall. Six Flags also has games to play and many souvenir shops. As for the sweets I mentioned earlier, the funnel cakes are absolutely deli cious. I would highly recommend Six Flags as a place to go when visiting the Atlanta area.
You apprehensively walk up the iron steps and onto the platform. You’re reluctant to go any further, but your friend eggs you on, saying, “It’s not that fast.” You step into the seat and pull the harness down over you. No, this isn’t the latest, greatest technological frontier. It’s a roller coaster. Since 1804 when the first wheeled roller coaster- called “Les Montagnes Russes”- was constructed in Paris, France, roller coasters have been a staple of adventure and fantasy among children and children-at-heart. But there’s no magic involved with these fantastic creations, there’s a plethora of forces and laws governing their every movement. From kinetic energy to inertia, roller coasters are intricate engineering marvels that function through the laws of physics. This is a look into those physics that result in a thrill ride unlike any other.
Not far from the opening gate, I glanced at the first ride I was going to experience, the Cork Screw. The whole entire family was going to ride on the rollercoaster, even my sister Alissa who is terrified of coasters. As I walked up the narrow path that led to the Cork Screw, I could see that there was a large number of people waiting to get onto the ride. While waiting patiently to board the coaster, I gazed up in awe at the Cork Screw, one of the newer roller coasters, which sparkled high above our heads. Twirling hoops and loops were the main attraction of this roller coaster.
The first ride that we went on was a little kid called the “lazy river”, a ride that was perfect for my two brothers. They both had fun and probably the most fun they had in a long time. After that, we went on my 8-year-old brother favorite thing the shooting star which is just basketball in the water. It turned out that he didn’t like it as much as I
I was waiting at the line, having a mini-panic attack because we were next. I watched the crane moving drop tower slowly rise while people were dangling their feet amid the air. Seconds later, the sound of what a garbage truck makes stopped! They reached the top. The view from the ground to how high they were, made them seem like ants. I heard a few screams before the ride finally dropped freely to the ground. It was almost in a flash and they were back down. The drop made everyone on the ride scream even when they reached the ground. It was our turn to hop on the ride. We replaced all the empty seats and my mom was right beside me. I buckled up my seatbelt and made sure it was as tight as it could get. A person came around making sure everyone was buckled up and that is when I realized there was no turning back. I started feeling the need to use the restroom but there was nothing I could do. I was locked behind what felt like a seat you would find inside a rocket ship. We started arising slowly and I honestly felt like I was going to black out because of how afraid I was. My heart was beating faster and faster the higher we went. Before I knew it, we were at the top. The

I have always been fascinated by carnival rides. It amazes me that average, ordinary people eagerly trade in the serenity of the ground for the chance to be tossed through the air like vegetables in a food processor. It amazes me that at some time in history someone thought that people would enjoy this, and that person invented what must have been the first of these terrifying machines. For me, it is precisely the thrill and excitement of having survived the ride that keeps me coming back for more.
