Movie Madness holds the number one spot for the best indoor roller coaster at the Six Flags amusement park! This coaster is known for it’s unbelievable velocity and inertia, so unbelievable, that they have to come ride it themselves. When you enter, there will only be dimmed lights for your guidance and the rest of the room will be pitch dark. To control your excitement, red velvet ropes were placed on the edge of the line. Also, while waiting in line, a movie plays for your pleasure. From 0 to 70 feet, the chain lift hill launch system takes you up and drops you down 100 feet, rolling into a movie reel loop. As you're exiting the loop, the projecting machine camera will snap a picture of you being super entertained. What’s a movie without …show more content…
Movie Madness has a duration of 1 minute and 30 seconds. The highest hill is 100 feet in the air. Steel is the type of metal used to make the track for Movie Madness. This technology was expensive and is high quality. Friction is used all through the ride, but the coaster has the most friction when it is at its’ flattest point. This is because in the flat area of the ride, it needs friction or it would just keep on going straight. Gravity is at its most when the coaster is going down a hill. Gravity pulls the train down and makes it move faster and faster. The roller coaster has the most potential energy when the cart is at the top of the first hill. It has the most kinetic energy as it’s going down the first hill. As you are just coming down the hill, that action shows instantaneous speed. Net force changes the speed or direction of an object or both, and is located inside a loop. Air resistance is shown when the ride slows down and is soon going to stop. Centripetal acceleration is represented in a circular motion. A projectile is demonstrated when the train moves over the bunny hills and is in the air for a couple of seconds. The terminal velocity is shown when the cart goes down the highest hill because it is the fastest
