How does an amusement park ride make you feel lighter than air one moment and press you down into your seat the next, all while keeping you safely inside the ride? Strap yourself in for a fast-paced adventure in physics and investigate topics such as the law of inertia, centripetal acceleration, and centrifugal force as you design and build a variety of amusement park thrills.
