  1. Theme parks are everywhere, just on the Gold Coast there is 5 theme parks. Theme parks consist of many different rides. At Dreamworld, there are lots of different rides, from small rollercoasters, to record breaking Giant Drop. In this Extended Response Task, the physics of the rides we collected and have been analysed in many different ways as seen in the data analyses. The 2 rides that are been analysed are ‘The Giant Drop’ and ‘The Claw’. ‘The Giant Drop’ is tallest free falling rides out there. On there you will feel up to 4G’s according to Dream World. The Claw is the biggest, most powerful pendulum in the southern hemisphere. The Claw has a rotating arm, which can rotate 360 degrees, while your swinging, increasing the trill factor. Each ride was analysed using the data on ‘Desire2Learn’ on the ‘Theme Park Physics’ Page. The data was separated into each axis of acceleration, and it was compared to the altitude. The barometer (Sensor that measures altitude) was not calibrated on the day, therefore resulting in incorrect height. But, the data is all relative to each other, so that makes the data usable. Things like time of day, weather, time of year, etc could affect the data from the barometer, and needed to be calibrated on the day, Yet, the device was not calibrated on the day. For a ride to be able to be used by the general public, it must have many different safety features that stop the public from getting injured and/or killed. Each ride is required to have safety features, these features for the claw and the giant drop are very similar. They both have over the shoulder harnesses. This prevents the rider falling out. These features makes the rides available to a lot of different people.
