I went to MGM in Orlando a few years ago. This ride was the best part of it. A really great ride with lots of atmosphere from the attendents.

My fav though is Universal. They have the best rides!

Back to the Future ride was awesome, I thought.

I went to the DisneyWorld one the year it was open. It was a lot of fun, but I still prefer Universal. With all the extra stuff around, I never felt like I had to wait very long in a line.

Mrs. Husker still makes fun of the look on my face during the Terror ride. Almost took five minutes for my fingers to unclench. Enjoy.

That was my 2nd favourite. First fav was Men in Black. Actually first first fav was Shrek. Then again I'm 30+ going on 12.

A gravity assisted freefall tops out just over 100 MPH.
Near the surface of the Earth and in the absence of air resistance, objects in free fall will have a constant acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2. This is the value of acceleration due to gravity, which we commonly refer to as g.

All objects fall with the same downward acceleration: 9.8 m/s2

this is true.

Oh yeah, I love that Back To The Future ride. My favorite is in Universal Studios: Islands of Adventure - Spiderman :thumb: The Hulk roller coaster in Islands of Adventure is way cool, too.

My family and I went to Disneyland for Thanksgiving and this ride was a hoot! Has anyone here been on it? I think I heard they have one at Disneyworld thats even taller.

In case you've never heard of it it's a ride where you get in an elevator that takes you up 13 stories before dropping faster than gravity.. It was dang fun! The California screaming coaster was good too.
We have NO good coasters in this state. :(

I also liked the California screamer coaster, a smooth and exhilarating ride. I cannot stand a coaster that jars you all over the place.

The Tower ride was under construction when I was there last year.

Yeah but like Phobes said, the terminal velocity is 126 mph, after that the acceleration rate goes down due to air resistance.

Perhaps I misunderstood what Phil was trying to say.

If I'm not mistaken gravity is a force thus can't be measured with the same standards as the speed of a tangible object is measured. If it were measured by those standards it would be roughly the speed of light.

This is coming from memory of a physics class taken over 5 years ago that's why I replied with the :hmmm: smiley.

Umm................................................yeah.

Mmmmkay.

It took me a couple times of reading that to understand what you said, btw. :banghead:

But I think you missed what I said. I was saying an object's value of acceleration due to gravity. Not measuring gravity itself. ;)

I have watched the hour long new Disney show on Discovery HD several times, and that ride looks like a blast. My kids are only 4 and 2, so I can't wait until a couple of years from now until we can go.

Did you see the water show where they project part of the movie on the water and the water spray? That looks pretty cool on TV also.
