    Extractions: This is a guide to vintage rides currently operating at British amusement parks. Whilst Britain has a wonderful amusement park heritage, vintage rides continue to be lost. The most notable recent loss is the 1937 Cyclone wooden roller coaster, which operated at Morecambe's Frontierland amusement park from 1939, until its demolition in 2000. Nick Laister guides you through the best vintage rides currently operating at British amusement parks. The American Adventure, Ilkeston: Although rides have been located on the site of the present Barry Island Pleasure Park since around the turn of the last century, an amusement park was established here in 1922. The park has been in various ownerships through the years, but most notably from 1930 to the late 1990s it was owned by showman John Collins. Vintage attractions: Wacky Goldmine: This ride is notable only because it was built using the wood from the ride which preceded it, the Scenic Railway roller coaster, built in 1939.

In this program, engineers use the principles of physics to design amusement park rides. Viewers will be catapulted along on a roller coaster, slammed into their seats, glued against a wall, shot down a luge course, and swung around on a hellacious ride they call "the corkscrew." As they go, they learn the relationship between kinetic and potential energy, vectors, speed, friction, and acceleration in an exciting real-world format.

49. Accidents Up Despite Safeguards In New, Faster Amusement Park Rides
    Accidents Up Despite Safeguards in New, Faster amusement park rides. By Dan Eggen THE WASHINGTON POST Spurred on by customer demand  
    http://www-tech.mit.edu/V119/N34/Amusement_Parks.34w.html
    
    Extractions: THE WASHINGTON POST Spurred on by customer demand and dramatic leaps in computer technology, roller coasters and other amusement park attractions are bigger, faster and louder than ever. The latest coasters scream along at nearly 100 mph. Another popular attraction drops passengers in a free fall from heights comparable to a mid-size skyscraper. And in Ohio, one theme park is building the tallest coaster in the world one that would take riders 310 feet above the surface of the Earth. But after four deaths this year aboard amusement park rides, many of those who love the new thrills also are beginning to wonder if those thrills are safe. Experts say the same technology that has improved the rides has led to major advances in rider safety, allowing computers and electronic switches to monitor speeds, locations and whether everyone is buckled in properly. Timothy Fan, a 20-year-old college student from New York, rode the Shockwave roller coaster Monday night as it climbed 95 feet before plunging its standing riders through a steep vertical loop and a sideways spiral. As his train was slowing before returning to the station, investigators said, Fan wriggled free of the safety harness, then fell accidentally to his death. Yet with the number of amusement-park injuries nearly doubling in the past five years, some experts say too many modern rides depend on riders to ensure their own safety. Recent deaths and mishaps have prompted legislators to call for tougher regulation of the amusement park industry.
