The +Colossus Ferris wheel is located at Six Flags New England. It is approximately 54.9m tall, a diameter of 50.3m, and weights 160 metric tons. The maximum capacity is 320 people. It moves at 1.5 revolutions per minute. There are 32 vehicles and each vehicle can hold 10 people. The centripetal acceleration is .176 meters per second squared. If there were ten 150lb people in one cart vehicle the centripetal force will be 120.2N.

Untamed roller coaster is located at Canobie Lake Park in New Hampshire, MA. The height of the roller coaster is 22m, the length is 321m, the speed is 70 km/h, and the average vertical angle is 97 degrees. The capacity is 850 riders per hour. The Centripetal force is 4.5N. The radius of one loop is 60m. The centripetal acceleration is 6.3 meters per second squared. Part 2: In order to complete this physics day each student would have to be given the different information about each ride and then use the formulas to solve them. The students will also get on the ride to verify each force based on the feelings of the ride and also just for fun.
