Last summer my friend Alissa had a birthday party at the waterpark =] As everyone already knows, the waterpark has alot of waterslides. One of the many is the famous adrenalin running Cliffhanger.
On the cliffhanger, me and Alissa are accelerating down the slide. However, the rate of acceleration is not negative 9.8 meters per second squared because despite the fact we are falling down, we are not going straight down. The slide is at an angle slighty less steep than going straight downward.
In the other picture on the left side, is a smaller slide located in keiki cove. On the slide, I am also accelerating. However, the rate of acceleration is on a smaller scale compared to the cliffhanger.
Within the waterpark, there are also many other rides that involve acceleration. For example, in the ride called "Flyin Hawaiian" the slide is cut-off therefore after accelerating down the slide, you fall, demostrating free-fall which in this case has the acceleration of 9.8 meters per second squared.
