THRILL RIDES
There are many categories of thrill rides, which are flat rides, gravity rides or vertical rides. Flat rides are usually considered to be those that move their passengers in a plane generally parallel to the ground, and ground level rides. Gravity rides are those where gravity is responsible for all or some of the movement, and where any vertical movement is not about a fixed point. Vertical rides usually move their passengers in a vertical plane and around a fixed point.
