  • next time I go to hershey, IM GONIG ON IT!!!

  • @ajax631 someone here is getting angry about formulas he probably doesn't understand xD! so what if the velocity of the ride at the top is a little bit more (or even if it ould be over 9.000 km/hr !!) it just will change the velocity near the bottom of the ramp. (i don't see the push thing at the top, but it doesn't really matter if you take the point right in front of it)

  • @alain001 if your trying to say that the constant speed is given by the initial acceleration, and the coaster just rides that momentum out, you can see the ride accelerate right before the descent, like a push, not just terminal speed.

  • @alain001 wow your fucking retarded, oh ok einstein, "my theory still apply" the ride doesn't slow down to 10km/h which is about half that in mp/h, an object in motion tends to stay in motion, unless there's a opposite force depressing on it, your theory is wrong and so is your observation as you can clearly see the ride doesn't lose that much speed at the first loop, stop looking up math equations that relate to speed and velocity and speed it will fall at a given height, its a ride.

  • A Bit From Da Stealth

  • @supercool97 well guess the speed at the top and you know it aswell... just Epot + Ekin = constant. SO below with 0 pot and max kin, is at the top max pot and a kin then... no biggie (i know what you mean now ;) )

  • @alain001 what i'm trying to say is that at the top of the first hill after the launch, it doesn't slow down to 10km/h like you said in your theory. It's actually considerably fast. Your theory works for Kingda Ka because it does slow down to ~10km/h

  • @supercool97 what do you mean with 'goes up and pulls you down' ?

    perhaps you think its the decceleration? ;) if you stop at 0:59 I don't see any electric braking mechanism so my theory still apply (neglecting the friction losses, which probably are significant irl)

  • im going to hershey this summer...i cant wait

  • @alain001 the problem is that what you're talking about applies to a ride like Kingda Ka. However, storm runner doesn't just go up, slow down and go down. It goes up and pulls you down at a considerably high speed. The only way you can find out the real specs is to get them from Hershey.
