I recently stumbled across a website with some incredible looking theme park concepts and I just had to know more! The inventor and owner of the website agreed to answer a...
When we wanted to know more about roller coaster design, we decided to go straight to one of the most well known and respected businesses in the industry. Fortunately, we were able to speak...
I’ve been modeling a new chassis configuration for the cantilevered roller coaster. Here’s a quick preview video showing the range of motion of the car. Sorry for the bad quality. Hopefully,...
How do you keep multiple trains on a roller coaster from running into each other? In order to have the highest throughput possible, most modern roller coasters operate more than one...
Have you ever wondered how a roller coaster can operate multiple trains without having a collision? Coaster101 had the opportunity to interview Jonathon England, an amusement industry professional with experience in...
I created a Kuka robo coaster model in CATIA. I used the car from my cantilevered roller coaster simulations to save time. The track is created using three sketches with laws...
Welcome to the latest edition of Coasters-101, the series where we talk about how roller coasters are designed and built. Let’s talk about modeling a roller coaster track on the computer....
Check out the latest video of the cantilevered roller coaster concept model. I completed some of the fine details for the main layout including the cross-ties, support columns, and cement footers....
Welcome to another session of Coasters101! Today, we’re going to continue looking at some of the math and engineering that goes into designing a roller coaster. Earlier, we looked at some...
Cantilevered Coaster Systems (CCS) announced an alliance with Setpoint Inc. to commercialize the Cantilevered Roller Coaster system through the introduction of a small to medium-size ride package. This initial ride system...
Just a brief update on my computer models of the cantilevered roller coaster system. I have recently constructed a longer track in order to showcase some of the head and side...
