Some people are adrenaline junkies and there is no better way to get that adrenaline flowing than a terrifying roller coaster ride at an amusement park. Every year millions of people flock to different amusement parks all around the world thrill seeking and trying to find that perfect ride! People are willing to wait on lines for hours under the hot sun just to take a 3 minute ride on an extreme and scary roller coaster that will make all the waiting totally worth while!
Sometimes rides can be designed to be so scary that they can actually be quite dangerous. In today’s story this is exactly what we will be covering. You’ve probably read about rollercoasters coming to a complete halt on the loop de loop while innocent passengers are suspended upside down for minutes and even sometimes for hours. Or maybe the freak stories where the carts fly off the track due to some type of fault in the tracks design or it is just run down!
These stories are enough for me to stay clear of any ride that could potentially put me in this precarious position. However thrill seekers from all around the world don’t seem the least bit worried when they hear about these malfunctioning rides and continue seeking out the most terrifying and scary rides they can find!
Many of these massive rides can take years to build from start to finish. First the blue print, then figuring out the physics, then somehow coming up with the money to build it, then the actual building process. Sometimes these epic rides can cost millions and millions of dollars to build, so after all that money and time is put into making the perfect ride for thrill seekers/adrenaline junkies it better not malfunction and it should run smoothly 100 percent of the time!
Many roller coasters actually have a certain life span regardless of if they malfunction or not. There are only so many times the carts and rails can handle the massive speeds, twists turns and weight of the passengers. Sometimes these rides are just shut down because they are too old, the nuts and bolts are just too worn down, and the amount of money to renovate the ride just doesn’t make financial sense. For the life a roller coaster this is probably the best way for it to end its career. No freak accidents, no fatalities, just worn out to the point of no return.
Sadly, this is not always the case with many of these wild rides. Sometimes these roller coasters will run perfectly for years until suddenly one day, a freak accident will occur whether, passengers get stuck upside-down for hours or even worse they fly off the rails at high speeds injuring and sometimes even leading to multiple fatalities.
