LIVE TO RIDE

For many visitors,rides are what theme parks are all about. Much has changed since the early days of roller coasters; today rides are wilder and scarier than ever.The cars run faster, the tracks are higher, and you must be ready to go through twists, loops and drops. Some roller coasters even let you race against your friends: two tracks are next to each other and you fly through the air just metres away from your friends.Other roller coasters are inside a mountain or a building so that you ride through darkness.

Another attraction found in many theme parks is the thrill ride. Like riller coasters, thrill rides let you enjoy a good scream as you experience something exciting.Instead of rolling ,twisting and looping like the roller coasters, thrill rides use technology and special effects to give you a thrill.Some thrill rides will let you feel what it is like to fall through the air:you sit in a car that"falls"from a tall tower and you scream your way down to a safe landing.

Thrill rides can also send you into space or deep down in the ocean.You sit in a car that rocks and shakes while you watch a large screen in front of you.You can feel what it is like to live in space, walk on the ocean floor or ski with polar bears at the North Pole.The only limit to the fun is the imagination of the designers of the thrill rides--and it seems to be endless!
