What gives the roller coaster its power to crest large hills? What keeps a Ferris wheel from toppling over? What physics would apply to a simple machine such as a carousel? People ride such rides without even considering the scientific wonders that surround them. So, we present Amuse Me: A Website on the Physics of Amusement Parks. Our website will examine physical principles of several different rides, with extensive information on the greatest thrill ride: the roller coaster. Physics principles that are discussed include gravitational forces, vertical acceleration, horizontal accelerations, drag, friction, and many other laws concerning motion. Not only are the laws, formulas, and other information on the physics provided, but also are the histories behind the physical discoveries and the rides themselves. There is even biographical information of a few people who impacted the science world and the recreation future of the world. Even if a person doesn't care for amusement parks, any student taking physical science or formal physics classes can utilize the physics information. The interactive section offers useful links, downloads, and data for any teacher (or student). We encourage everyone to explore a world they might have none about before: the science behind the fun. Make sure to fasten your seatbelt, keep your hands and feet inside the car, and watch the first hill

This team's objective was to design a working roller coaster. This team wanted to design a roller coaster based on Mars. The idea is that the Martian Polar Ice Caps melted and you as the rider were being swept away in a tidal wave of fun!
