The History of Roller Coasters

Roller coaster derived from ice slides in the 16^th century in Russia. At that time, in winter, people rode sleds down the curving long ice slides. And through the constant endeavors of people, the first roller coaster with trains on tracks emerged known as Russian Mountains of Belleville. And at that time, the structures of elevated tracks were made of wood. From then on, people made roller coaster more and more complex with multiple turns, and so on. When steel was invented with its high strength, the wooden structures are replaced by steel ones, although there are still roller coasters made of wood. What’s more, with the development of technology as well as the needs of thrill-seeker, nowadays, roller coasters are becoming higher and higher, more and more thrilling.

How do Roller Coasters Work?

Why roller coasters are so exciting and thrilling? All the sensations come from the structures and physics of roller coasters. Although roller coasters become faster and more complex, the underlying principles of how roller coasters work are still the same. Firstly, roller coasters have no engines. At the beginning of the ride, roller coaster cars are pulled to the peak of first hill. And nowadays, there are chain lift and catapult-launch lift available for pulling the trains up the first hill. On a perfectly built rail track structure, after the first hill, from then on the roller coaster cars run on their own. What makes roller coasters   work are the constant conversions of potential energy to kinetic energy on the loops, turns, even inversions of rail tracks. What’s more, these constant conversions of energy give riders the constant thrilling impacts, such as weightlessness, gravity, acceleration.

The Safety of Roller Coaster Rides

Although it seems very scary, it is usually safe to have a ride on roller coaster. First, the brake system. The brakes are built on the tracks so that they can stop the roller coaster cars at the end of the ride or in an emergency. Secondly, the seat belts. The passenger seats are scientifically designed to ensure safety and comfortableness for riders. And riders are restrained to the seats with lap bars or over-shoulder harness, so that riders are kept to their seats even in an inversion situation. Thirdly, the block system. Nowadays, with the development of computer technology, the whole operation of the roller coaster rides are controlled by computer systems. The positions, the speeds, and the movements of the roller coaster cars on tracks are always monitored by the computer, so it is very ensuring to know that roller coasters are safe.
