The reasoning for why people visit theme parks is specific to every person ,most believe there’s only one good reason to ever step foot in a theme park: the roller coaster ride of a life time.Roller coasters keep many amusement parks in the public eye,the people who run them are always looking to make coasters taller,faster,and scarier.One can only really gain an appreciation of the true works of a roller coaster by riding one and experiencing the thrill of the ride. Roller coasters can vary in many different and intricate designs. But needless to say, they will always involve constructed loops, bends,hills, and twists that are designed to reach extraordinary speeds.
These speeds typically can only be reached as a result of different variables

PE= 9.8 x m x h
KE = ½ MV2 GPE = MGH
½ MV2 = MGH
V2 = 2MGH
The reasoning for why this did not transpire is not all the forces that were present during the experiment were correctly accounted for.The forces uncounted for were a result of a fault in the roller coaster design caused by the stability of the towers. This caused the cart to move side to side, in doing so this produced excessive energy loss created by the friction found in the resistance of the wheels movement against the forward motion carried along the track. In improvement of the experiments efficiency the stability of each tower should be improved with larger amounts of cross bar supports, making it less likely for faults in its structure. Structural designers could use these results/suggestions to make cautious decisions when increasing the height of a roller coasters, without doubling the support beams and stability. This would insure that no defaults or safety breeches occur in real scale coasters, although coming in at a costly addition to the build for extra materials required. At the beginning of the experiment graph result showed that in fact the increase of speed was substantial and if it was conducted correctly one could infer that speed would continue to on an up rise because the physics concepts of why height effects speed. Thus increasing the height of a ramp increases the inclination of the ramp, which in turn increases the speed at which an object goes down the ramp. This is assuming that all other factors pertaining to the ramp and the object remain the same, such as the inclination (or lack thereof) of the surface that the ramp is on, the material of the ramp and the material of the
