"Roller coaster! - takes students through the steps of designing, planning, testing, and building a roller coaster and how physics and psychology are used to create an exciting experience."@en
"Explores the design and construction of roller coasters and how physics principles apply to roller coasters."@en
"Explores the design and construction of roller coasters and how physical principles apply. Also looks at how electronic and film technologies are used to create simulator rides and virtual reality experiences in the entertainment industry."@en
"Amusement parks are now a $4 billion per year industry in the U.S. The trend is towards scarier rides. A look at the Magnum roller coaster in Ohio, the Drachen Fire roller coaster at the Busch Gardens in Virginia, & other rides designed by Ron Toomer - known as the "Fright merchant". Designing successful roller coasters calls for a knowledge of engineering and physics."@en
"Nova takes viewers on the ride of their lives, where physics and psychology meet, when it examines the world of roller coasters. It also examines simulated and virtual reality rides."@en
"Climb into a roller coaster and remain seated for an exhilarating exploration of the science and psychology behind America's adrenaline rush. Every year, roller coasters evolve. Some get bigger, faster, longer and more terrifying, hurtling riders upside-down, backwards and down steep descents - sometimes at speeds nearing 80 miles per hour. Momentum, friction, gravity, energy, acceleration, and centripetal force are simply the physical laws behind some of our favorite frightmakers."@en
