Travel Channel's Thrill Factor brings former Mythbusters hosts to theme parks

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

The Thrill Factor television show debuting this week on the Travel Channel lets theme park fans get their science on while screaming their heads off. The 10-part series starting Wednesday at 8 p.m. explores the science behind roller coasters, thrill rides, water slides and other extreme experiences using engineering, physics and biomechanics. The new 30-minute show is hosted by Kari Byron and Tory Belleci.
