00:00He bent the roller coaster's loop out of shape.
00:02You see, it's the first ride ever to go upside down,
00:05and it cost him everything.
00:06So, of course, his rival copies it bolt for bolt.
00:09But the night before opening, his test dummy
00:11comes back crushed like a soda can.
00:13But he can't miss the opening, so he grabs a hammer
00:16and beats the bottom into a long, lazy curve.
00:19Does he know what he's doing?
00:20Not really.
00:20His rival laughs, then sneaks in and cranks the sides together
00:24until the loop is tall and skinny,
00:26so the first cart will snap like a twig.
00:28The next morning, the town lines up at the rival's perfect circle,
00:31and the rival climbs in front to show off.
00:33The owner climbs into his,
00:35and as his cart tips over the first hill,
00:37he finally sees the tall, skinny loop ahead.
00:39But it's too late.
00:41You see, a car can creep around a hairpin turn at 5,
00:43but take it at 60, and it flips.
00:45A cart is fastest at the bottom of a loop,
00:48and a perfect circle puts a hairpin right there,
00:50which is what crushed the dummy.
00:52But his hammer made the bottom gentle,
00:53and the rival's squeeze moved the hairpin up top,
00:56where the cart is crawling.
00:57So he floats over without a scratch,
00:59just as the rival's cart hits the bottom of that perfect circle.
01:02.
01:02.
