Abstract:
The notion of comfort with respect to rides, such as roller coasters, is typically addressed from the perspective of a physical ride, where the convenience of transportation is redefined to minimize risk and maximize thrill. As a popular form of entertainment, roller coasters sit at the nexus of rides and games, providing a suitable environment to measure both mental and physical experiences of rider comfort. In this paper, the way risk and comfort affect such experiences is investigated, and the connection between play comfort and ride comfort is explored. A roller coaster ride simulation is

Abstract:
Nowadays, it has become an increasingly prevalent trend to preserve exciting experiences in the form of videos and photos when people go out for amusement. In this paper, we propose a novel system to produce a personalized digital souvenir for people when they take part in thrill rides like events. Specifically, we employ on-board devices including a digital camera with a built-in microphone and a WiFi-enabled compact computer to capture the exciting experience of riders. To search highlights of a rider, we devise a mapping scheme to link the id of a rider and that of the camera pointing the r

Abstract:
Abstract: A conceptual mathematical model of a water slide with vertical loops is developed. The principle used is the conservation of energy. The thrill experienced by a rider on a water slide is mainly due to the variation of G-force acting on the rider through the course of the ride. The geometry of the slide is developed by plotting G-force variation with the arc length of the loop. The G-force exposure limits should meet with the standards set by the F24 committee on amusement parks and rides. The coordinates of the slide geometry are determined by using Euler’s method of discretized equa

Abstract:
The thrill to go fast and push boundaries is something that many seek. From John Stapp’s rocket sled at Edwards Air Force Base in the late 1950’s to todays’ Formula 1 drivers, the “need for speed” is broadcast across TV screens weekly. So too are the horror stories of crashes, many at over 300 km/hr. Yet “need for speed” continues. It appears that the higher and faster the rollercoaster, the better. This leads to several questions. How does the brain stand up to speed and G-forces? Do Newton’s Laws still have reference in today’s world? There has been much attention in the general press on the

Abstract:
AbstractChildhood fears of objects and events such as spiders, monsters and earthquakes are common, universal and sometimes distressing. At the same time, many children seem to enjoy the thrill of scary ghost stories, ghoulish films, and terrifying theme park rides. It is estimated that around 18% of children are excessively fearful. Although anxiety disorders represent the most common psychopathology in childhood, identification can be difficult because of the diagnostic overlap and co-morbidity of anxiety with other childhood disorders.

Abstract:
This article examines some of the cultural symbolism and narratives supporting the tourism activities along the New Jersey coastline. Existing in part as a series of coastal barrier islands in need of regular maintenance, the Jersey shore hosts entertainment activities on strips of sand just off the mainland, including boardwalk rides, foods, games, and a general atmosphere of the carnivalesque. This liminal zone between the water and the land offers a sense of tension and uncertainty from its location, as well as a local history of fires, floods, storms, and shipwrecks.

Abstract:
This research project investigates why rollercoasters mean so much to the people who love them, and results in the documentary Signature Attraction and accompanying exegesis. This is achieved from the perspective of both a documentary practitioner and a lover of rollercoasters. The study links the business, marketing, psychological and sociological aspects of rollercoasters and reveals that they have a more complex impact on the rollercoaster enthusiast than what may first appear. Signature Attraction provides a philosophical counterpart to existing rollercoaster documentaries and is a hybrid

Best known for his innovations of glass and matte shot techniques, Dawn produced 861 composite images while working in the U.S. film industry between 1906 and 1954. Although technological film historians acknowledge the importance of Dawn’s innovations to the development of motion picture special effects, the composite images themselves as well as the films for which

‘The Magic Carpet Ride’ moves the analysis into the realm of the visceral and sensory experience of committing commercial armed robbery. Far from rational, some motivations existed on the edge of reason. Here the participants extol the excitement, adrenaline rush, and thrill experienced through this particular crime type. Their days were long, predictable, and monotonous, particularly for the men who were underemployed. Excessive alcohol use was a culturally acceptable way to pass the hours, but only lowered already depressed states. The absence of mental stimulation propagated a thirst for he

As inequality rises and the gap between the top and the bottom of society widens, their lives are becoming more precarious. The people struggling the most are the working class, but unlike in previous generations, they have little in the way of self- or state-organised stability, from trade unions, political parties, or from identities connected to their employment. It is this group of people at the bottom of society who have been harmed the most by ca
