I don’t think people realize how complex coasters are, I worked one at Cedar point and the control panel for it is huge with a million buttons and there is so much to rides people never realize that
Do you guys have control over the force of the trim brakes around the track? I was at Mirabilandia this weekend and we rode Katun like a million times, including almost an hour nonstop before the park closed. It felt as though once the operators saw that the only people left were the ones getting off only to run back to the entrance, they turned the trim brakes way down. We harldy slowed at all at the trim brakes and the final brake run before the station almost pulled my face off a few times. (edit: not that I'm complaining 😂)
So the control panel is only the tip of the iceberg as far as just the control aspect of a ride goes. The PLC cabinets are a mess of complex systems. Trims on rides cannot be manually controlled on anything more recent that 1990. They are usually set to apply various amounts of braking force based on the speed of the train, which moves slower when lighter. So if you were the only few people on the ride, the train was probably running slow enough to not need to be trimmed by the system
Almost died on a rollercoaster when I was little. Six Flags, old run down rollercoaster, young me excited for first coaster, got in, old seatbelts, seatbelt broke and I had to hold on the the bar for my life and the guy next to me also helped hold me down. Scared me so much I haven’t been on another since (Luckily no loop)
Don't be scared of riding rollercoaster, I've ridden a lot of them (from small children's rides, to coasters with 14 inversions). In Western countries and Japan, there are so many safety measures, and the laws are were scrict. 2 people die in a rollercoaster accident a year (worldwide, including China), sound crazy huh? Well this number translate into: the chance of dying on a coasters is 1:600000, that safer than flying, walking down strairs and driving a car. Six Flags coasters aren't dangerous, but a lot of them can use a new coat of paint! Bottom line: don't be so scared, it's way safer than you might assume! (Also: I'm Dutch, sorry for my broken English)
Omg me too! Ceder Point 1999, I got flung out. I'm just under 5 ft, and weight would have been around 120 then. The shoulder restraint, didn't go down enough? I slid under it, I was like "Oh I'm fine, it'll grab again." Nope, busted upper arm, and twisted ankle, I fell into the 3 ft deep water.
Oh. My. Goshness. This video answered my question into the blind episodes I face on coasters. I've been sent for MRI with no response. Now it all makes sense! Thanks for the diagnosis Ted!
One of the very few times on internet when I’ve seen someone knowing the difference between than and then... happy that there are some intelligent people...
The thing is, Minecraft roller coasters are impossible to make realistic, because since the crests of the hills are so sharp, the negative gs would eject your organs out of your body
One time I was on a roller coaster (it was the worst one of my life) I literally blacked out for a few seconds. I don’t even remember what happened in those few seconds but I regained consciousness a few seconds after and just screamed because I thought I was gonna die
I know this is random but I wonder if some random female has ever got off to a roller coaster. 🤷♀️ppl like all kinds of stuff. I saw a yr video of a female getting off to a car just bc it vibrates so much. A little different but still... Bc science... 🤔 Also I was scrolling through comments for a summary of an answer. I've learned nothing 😤. I didn't watch
I've experienced graying out before and I thought I never would because I'm so tolerant to roller coaster elements.... but the roller coaster I rode is known to make people pass out and I rode it three times in a row, without stopping.
@@nathaniel9526 it's all depending on how your body handles the g-forces. For most enthusiasts, they are quite fine since they know how to breathe properly when riding. If it's someone who strongly fears roller coasters and is breathing heavily or panicked, they will likely pass out. But most of the time, people are fine and it's very rare for someone to grey out or even pass out.
Wow, even the simplest of things are actually complicated when you discuss them in terms of science🤔🤔... And ❤️Ted-Ed❤️ helps us to understand them so easily as if it's a piece of cake!!! Btw, that white guy is so funny😂 and the scream in the background at 1:41 😂😂😂

3:00 I have to say, let creative freedom be as it may but the middle ear is not filled with fluid (that would lead to all kinds of infections and poor pressure management).

3:18 you show literally every harness other than the one specifically designed for airtime-focused coasters - THE LAP BAR!!! Otherwise, this is the best GP video ever, great job!
Is the lap bar safer than the others? Because I felt so terribly vulnerable in the loops with just that flimsy bar over my lap holding me from certain death. I would’ve given anything for an actual harness or something
idk how or why this was recommended to me, but I've got to say that this is one of the most unintentionally hilarious videos I've seen in a long time. 10/10.
You forgot another G force rollercoasters use: lateral Gs which pull side to side and are the same forces you experience when you turn your car too fast during a turn
As a kid, as fun as rollercoasters are, they were quite terrifying. As I got older, I felt more fun from them! Hopefully, riders will always be safe, as less than 10% of amusement park injuries are due to coasters.
Two points, launches are becoming more and more common and provide forces unobtainable in lift hill kinds. And where you sit on a train can greatly effect what you experience
I experienced a "redout" once in a modern coster, and I completely freaked out even though it didn't stay long. I didn't understand what it was or what caused it, so thank you Ted-Ed! (Sorry for my english, i'm learning)

That screaming guy is me when I remember that I have a final due on Wednesday and it’s Monday. Then when you think you’re done the night before and realize you have a whole other section to do.
One symptom that may prop up from modern rollercoasters is Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS) and is a common phenomenon with passengers disembarking cruise liners. When your inner ear fluid is put under a similar movement or force over time, such as the swaying back and forth of a cruise ship or the suspension of inner ear fluid from 'airtime', you can develop weightlessness, nausea and vertigo due to the brain trying to compensate the days stress - only to cause confusion when you go back to normal situations.
They don't experience more or less gravitational force. Gravitational force is always constant(when we are only talking about things that happen around Earth's surface). G-force is just a scale for force. When the scale is used, it does not mean the force is a gravitational force. Moreover, your mass and weight will not change when you are having a ride. (In fact only the feeling of your own weight is changed) We experience more or less force (measure in g-force scale), just because the acceleration/force need, as a certain centripetal force are necessary for the loop. The gravitational force's magnitude & direction is never changed. It just affect the force needed in the circular motion in a slightly complicated way, as the track is not in a closed loop, which is not a perfect circle. The gravitational force slow/speed up the cart's if it is 0/180 degree to the cart's direction. It compensate/resists the centripetal force if it is in 90 degree to the cart's direction (0/180 degree to the track's normal/tangent line). It do both of the above things if it is an angle in between, the portion is always given by cos (cos(90) is 0 , cos(0) is 1, cos(180) is -1). You experience more gravitational force because of the illusion. What you really feel is the normal force from the ground/cart/track (the feeling of your own weight). When gravity compensate the centripetal force, the ground/cart/track give less normal force, and you experience a lesser pull (but it is not a real lesser gravitational pull/ weight, and the actually pull is pulling you upwards when the gravity is completely compensating. We all know gravity pull downwards. RMB you are now upside down on the roller coaster ) (normally we feel gravity pulling us downward when the normal force are pointing upward, rmb they are action and reaction pair when you are stationary on ground). Your physics teacher will says " the force is 5 times as your weight" but not "your weight become 4 times bigger".
1:45 I just want to point out gravity is never multiplied (it is a constant) 4:05 and your weight is never changed (but only the feel about one's own weight is changed) (what really exerted is the normal force from the track/cart)
I love rollercoasters so much I just found out I'm going to Thorpe park on my birthday I cried with joy I'm also going to Alton towers in 2 weeks abxhdjsjkdkd
I used to love roller coasters, then a few years ago I rode Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens WIlliamsburg and experienced gray-outs every time the coaster hit a trough. It was pretty frightening as a grayish circle closed on my vision. I had to look up what was happening. I rode a significantly smaller and slower coaster later and it happened again. I haven't ridden a roller coaster since. :(
Gray-outs are common and safe. They happen to me all the time on coasters and I don’t care one bit. If you want to try and avoid them, make sure you get adequate sleep before riding, stay hydrated and try not to ride when you’re sick.
Have you gained significant weight or have you grown taller if you are still a teenager? Any significant physical changes would affect how your body reacts to them .
Some people handle g forces better than others. I personally almost never gray out on rollercoasters and when a coaster is so intense that it does it instantly rockets to the top of my list
one thing u forgot to mention is the body’s tolerance for negative g is much lower, it’s not safe to have negative g’s for more than a few seconds because the blood rushes to ur head, and if u go over something like 2 negative gs it can cause severe eye and brain damage
Wouldn't you be expending kinetic energy while you're climbing (converting it into potential) and expending potential while going down (and converting it into kinetic)??
At no point in my life have I wanted to ride one. All five times I was pushed by family friends ect, NEVER liked being sloshed around, never felt "happy" enough to call it "fun". Thanks for explaining why, also why people who drive really fast make me nervous and puke. I can't stand the higher Gs. Literally make me uncomfortable.
Both of my parents got grey eyed on universals hulk ride and I thought that they were just holding their breath without knowing because I was only 11 and I was fien
My students have a unit involving potential and kinetic energy and roller coasters are used as an example of showing energy. This video would be a great supplemental video that they would enjoy!

Is that a reference from tfios?
*Wow we can always rely on Ted-Ed for Accurate and Interesting Things*
I was anxious through out the whole presentation.
I’m a coaster enthusiast, steel vengeance and Fury325 are one of the best and most intense airtime filled coasters out here!
I love it how Ted-Ed gives us quality knowledge and answers without having to read big books
2:22 So that’s why some people pass out during rides.
This the only Ted-ed I will watch while not in school
Love the animation and where i can try out when of those old coasters. Roller coasters are awesome
Me: Its five in the morning ,Brain. Let me sleep.
My brain: 1:42
I like turtles
And turtles like you
We like you too.
*Chelone Hats you*
🐢?
Ghillie Veteran who doesn't
I love the doddle loop adamation
It feels good to have air rushing by you when your going fast on a roller coaster
That screaming guy is me when I remember that I have a final due on Wednesday and it’s Monday. Then when you think you’re done the night before and realize you have a whole other section to do.
I couldn't even get the lesson without laughing at the characters.
One symptom that may prop up from modern rollercoasters is Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS) and is a common phenomenon with passengers disembarking cruise liners. When your inner ear fluid is put under a similar movement or force over time, such as the swaying back and forth of a cruise ship or the suspension of inner ear fluid from 'airtime', you can develop weightlessness, nausea and vertigo due to the brain trying to compensate the days stress - only to cause confusion when you go back to normal situations.
Intamin did not avoid the intense change of direction on I305.
Still won’t stop me from riding them,
*Whip, nae nae*
It shouldn't.
Why are all the animations in a loop
Ted ed is the best informational channel on youtube
Weightlessness and adrenaline rushes. Those are the two things you can expect from roller coasters. I LOVE both of them!
0:46 apparently, roller coasters affect your ability to have both eyes blink at the same time
Nobody:
Guy on roller-coaster: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
They don't experience more or less gravitational force. Gravitational force is always constant(when we are only talking about things that happen around Earth's surface).
G-force is just a scale for force. When the scale is used, it does not mean the force is a gravitational force.
Moreover, your mass and weight will not change when you are having a ride. (In fact only the feeling of your own weight is changed)
We experience more or less force (measure in g-force scale), just because the acceleration/force need, as a certain centripetal force are necessary for the loop.
The gravitational force's magnitude & direction is never changed. It just affect the force needed in the circular motion in a slightly complicated way, as the track is not in a closed loop, which is not a perfect circle.
The gravitational force slow/speed up the cart's if it is 0/180 degree to the cart's direction. It compensate/resists the centripetal force if it is in 90 degree to the cart's direction (0/180 degree to the track's normal/tangent line). It do both of the above things if it is an angle in between, the portion is always given by cos (cos(90) is 0 , cos(0) is 1, cos(180) is -1).
You experience more gravitational force because of the illusion. What you really feel is the normal force from the ground/cart/track (the feeling of your own weight). When gravity compensate the centripetal force, the ground/cart/track give less normal force, and you experience a lesser pull (but it is not a real lesser gravitational pull/ weight, and the actually pull is pulling you upwards when the gravity is completely compensating. We all know gravity pull downwards. RMB you are now upside down on the roller coaster ) (normally we feel gravity pulling us downward when the normal force are pointing upward, rmb they are action and reaction pair when you are stationary on ground).
Your physics teacher will says " the force is 5 times as your weight" but not "your weight become 4 times bigger".
1:45 I just want to point out gravity is never multiplied (it is a constant)
4:05 and your weight is never changed (but only the feel about one's own weight is changed)
(what really exerted is the normal force from the track/cart)
I love rollercoasters so much
I just found out I'm going to Thorpe park on my birthday
I cried with joy
I'm also going to Alton towers in 2 weeks abxhdjsjkdkd
Lmfao 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 the crazy scream is hilarious..
I think you should have mentioned the "heart line" which also played a big role in making rollercoasters safer. Other than that, great video.
Not really safer but more comfortable. There is nothing unsafe about non heart lined coasters
I used to love roller coasters, then a few years ago I rode Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens WIlliamsburg and experienced gray-outs every time the coaster hit a trough. It was pretty frightening as a grayish circle closed on my vision. I had to look up what was happening. I rode a significantly smaller and slower coaster later and it happened again. I haven't ridden a roller coaster since. :(
Gray-outs are common and safe. They happen to me all the time on coasters and I don’t care one bit. If you want to try and avoid them, make sure you get adequate sleep before riding, stay hydrated and try not to ride when you’re sick.
What’s a gray out
Have you gained significant weight or have you grown taller if you are still a teenager? Any significant physical changes would affect how your body reacts to them .
@@MelB868 this vid explains:)
Some people handle g forces better than others. I personally almost never gray out on rollercoasters and when a coaster is so intense that it does it instantly rockets to the top of my list
one thing u forgot to mention is the body’s tolerance for negative g is much lower, it’s not safe to have negative g’s for more than a few seconds because the blood rushes to ur head, and if u go over something like 2 negative gs it can cause severe eye and brain damage
Idk about the other things but this video makes me laugh out loud /those screams/
Wouldn't you be expending kinetic energy while you're climbing (converting it into potential) and expending potential while going down (and converting it into kinetic)??
yes that’s the basic law they talked about
At no point in my life have I wanted to ride one. All five times I was pushed by family friends ect, NEVER liked being sloshed around, never felt "happy" enough to call it "fun". Thanks for explaining why, also why people who drive really fast make me nervous and puke. I can't stand the higher Gs. Literally make me uncomfortable.
I am deathly scared of roller coasters, even the kids' coasters get me screaming
1:47 had me laughing out loud 😂
Both of my parents got grey eyed on universals hulk ride and I thought that they were just holding their breath without knowing because I was only 11 and I was fien
My students have a unit involving potential and kinetic energy and roller coasters are used as an example of showing energy. This video would be a great supplemental video that they would enjoy!
This was very helpful and answered all my questions thanks for sharing 👍
