Roller coaster designer Fraser Ross

Hold on to your hats as Bryan meets roller coaster designer Fraser Ross.

Fraser tells Bryan about how his first roller coaster ride, as very young child, was nearly his last! Fraser was petrified!

But when he next went on a roller coaster as a teenager it was completely different. Fraser yelled his head off and really enjoyed the ride. It also planted the seed of an idea - that designing roller coasters could be his dream job.

Fraser didn't achieve his dream job straight away - he started out as a maths teacher. But as Fraser explains to Bryan, maths is a very useful thing to know about when it comes to creating a thrilling ride.

Fraser also describes what an imaginary roller coaster around the human body might be like, what the sensations we experience on a roller coaster are all about - and the one thing never to wear when on a theme park ride!
