Coaster101 turned 10 years old on Monday, and to celebrate, we’re looking back at our favorite posts from the past decade and by giving away TEN Coaster101 Prize Packs! Today we’re flashing back to 2011.
Nov. 2011
Our most popular series, “Coasters-101,” written by resident engineer Nick Weisenberger put complex roller coaster design, systems, physics and more into easy-to-digest language. We analyzed Universal’s motion base track patent.
We interviewed Randy King, Owner and Consultant at Entertainment Safety Solutions about theme park safety.
We explored the (now gone) remnants of the Opryland USA theme park. We shared photos of Walt Disney World from 1979 and Disneyland from 1985.
At Six Flags Great America, we followed the preparation for X-Flight and the deconstruction of Iron Wolf.
Giveaway #6
As a part of our 10-year celebration this month, we’re giving away 10 Coaster101 Prize Packs filled with Coaster101 swag and souvenirs from parks across the country. To enter, simply fill out the form below through Saturday, June 20, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. ET. On Sunday, we’ll randomly select and contact one winner.
