direct line, which means it has a constant, fast speed.
However, let’s look at slide number 4.
Slide number 4 starts with a very steep, almost vertical drop at the top.
In physics, a steeper drop at the beginning allows gravity to pull you down much faster, much earlier.
This gives the rider a massive, rapid boost of speed right at the start.
By the time the slide begins to curve gently at the bottom, the person has already gained maximum speed.
This phenomenon is actually a famous physics concept
