Roller Coaster Ride Research Paper

The Ride of My Life
I've always loved roller coasters. Or, at least I thought I did. The feeling of soaring through the air, warm wind blasting on your face and blowing through your hair, that "oh crap" moment that your body gets when you're plummeting downwards, and the adrenaline that surges through your body while you're watching the world flip and twist before your eyes in mind boggling ways are all insane.
