Today we’re looping through the thrilling world of roller coasters. Before we start, I want to give a double shout out to Raffi and Elan in Parkland, Florida who wrote in to say, we listen to Who Smarted as a family and really enjoy learning new things, answering questions during the episodes, and singing the theme song.

It’s our go -to every time we get in the car. We love Who Smarted. Well, we love you right back and we’re happy to have your family as part of our smarty family. And now, let’s climb into some questions about roller coasters.

First question, what powers most roller coasters? Is it A, engines, B, gravity, or C, magic? Going with B, absolutely correct. Most roller coasters are powered by gravity after the initial climb. Next question, what was the first roller coaster called?

Was it A, the cyclone? B, the switchback railway, or C, the thunderbolt? Did you choose B, spot on. The first roller coaster was called the switchback railway. Last question, what keeps you in your seat during a loop?

Is it A, seat belts? B, centripetal force? Or C, superglue? Did you select B? That’s exactly right. Centripetal force keeps you in your seat during loops and turns. Thrilling success, smarty pants. Your roller coaster knowledge is reaching new heights.
