Make Tracks
published by the Questacon
Design a roller coaster and then climb aboard and see how it rides! You can watch the ride from right above the car itself or, if your stomach isn't up to that, from a fixed position away from the track. You'll get a continuous readout of the coaster speed and acceleration.
