When designing the new roller coaster, Triple Dog Dare, the important aspects are the amount of friction, the essential force, material, and how fun while safe the ride is. The ride must not exceed 5g for more than 5 seconds making the track ramps important as well. The roller coaster should be a ride with cost efficient material insuring safety at the max.
One of the important aspects is the shape of the track. The shape affects the potential and kinetic energy insuring everything will go smoothly. Potential energy is the energy depending on vertical position, height and mass of object. Potential energy coverts into kinetic energy as the cart descend. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and depends on the speed and mass of the object. If there is too much potential energy instead of kinetic energy or vice versa the coaster would either get stuck or go above 5g injuring you. The first essential hill to start the roller coaster has to be the highest hill overall due to the fact that friction coverts kinetic energy into electromagnetic (sound) and thermal energy. To start this giant hill, there must be some force of energy to temporarily overcome gravity so that the coaster can effectively reach the height of the hill. Most rides begin as a chain or motor exerting a force on the train of cars to lift the train to the top of the hill. As the roller coaster climbs the first and biggest hill it builds up potential energy. At the top, it has the greatest amount of potential energy waiting to convert to kinetic energy as it descends down the hill. Potential and kinetic energy should barely be lost to friction which is given off as thermal energy. This will ensure a...

...re carried up a steep incline by a linked chain. When the cars reach the top of the incline, they roll free of the chain and are propelled downward by gravity through a series of drops, rises, and turns. Finally the cars are braked to a stop at the starting point, where the passengers get out and new passengers get on.
This roller coaster will benefit the theme park, customers, and gain great profit. To maximize the amount of fun factor, decrease friction and for you spend the least amount of money while making it ride able. For safety purpose 4G must be max, "We can't push people any further than they can go at the moment." The Trilling ride, Triple Dog Dare, will surely be the best. This roller coaster will be the big new roller coaster! People around the world will line up for the new roller coaster, Triple Dog Dare, only available at 12 Flags.
