Physics blog 5 or somethin

The flow rider is pretty hard. But fun too I suppose. I would guess that a lot of physics goes into creating something like this. The creaters had to make the power of the water strong enough to fight gravity but not so strong as to shoot someone off into the air by the force of it. The water is flowing up te ramp thingy to keep me from sliding down. Since I can move on the wave-ish thing the force isn't totally in control. By gaining moment and moving my weight I am able to decide where I want to go on the wave. Ride creators must know a lot of physics to be able to create rides of all kinds that do such amazing stuff. PHYSICS IS FUN!

  1. Pretty spiffy. I hadn't considered the physics of designing rides before.
