![]() ![]() This is where the fun (and physics) begins. Once you design your roller coaster using easy-to-use tools, you get to try it out virtually. And his riders were not killed during their ride. His roller coasters would have corkscrews and tunnels with a background in outer space. ![]() My son thinks this is a gaming app (it is!). My roller coaster accidentally went partially underground making it a lethal ride for my riders. ![]() I tried to design a roller coaster and I had trouble manipulating the track. The physics part was snuck in, which is just the way I like it. ![]() I was shocked to find that my son, then 7-years-old, not only insisted on using it upon finding it on my iPhone but was able to design the roller coaster of his dreams. When I discovered the Roller Coaster Physics app (I think someone emailed me with a code), it sounded like an app for high school students. I never got an intuitive sense of physics and my impression was that it was a formula to be memorized and calculated. I learned physics, painfully, in high school and struggled through pre-med physics in college. I wish I had been introduced to physics at a young age in a way that made it fun. ![]()
