Evaluating the Safety of Roller Coasters and Amusement Park Rides
The amusement industry faces a unique marketing and image challenge. On one hand, it seeks to attract adrenaline junkies eager for the latest extreme thrill rides at theme parks. These parks prominently showcase their roller coasters as thrilling adventures, invoking excitement with names like “Flight of Fear,” “Scream,” “Mind Eraser,” and “Lethal Weapon.” Furthermore, amusement parks engage in an ongoing competition to outdo each other, constructing new rides branded as the fastest coasters or the tallest coasters to generate hype. It’s all about elevating heart rates and maximizing admissions.
