Thrill Ride: The Science of Fun

Take a white-knuckle trip through the science, history, and future of roller coasters. This giant-screen film features rare footage of vintage 'coasters from the turn of the century as well as views from some of today's wildest rides.

Scream as you shoot a thousand feet into the air on Las Vegas' Big Shot, or rush deep underground aboard the coal mine cart that gave birth to American roller coasters. Gain insight into the talents of modern-day thrill masters as they work their magic with today's most sophisticated computers, cameras, and lighting technology.
