Safety Inspection - About Your
Coaster Design
Why did your design work? Why did it fail? Find out about each step in
your coaster design.
Step 1 - Height of first
hill You chose .
The best solution is to choose a first hill height of 80 m. This will
give your coaster the maximum possible energy for the rest of the
ride.
Step 2 - Shape of first
hill
You chose .
The best solution is to choose the hill that is curved at the bottom,
shape A. This path will give the thrill without the danger of the sharper hill
shapes. The curve at the bottom leads gently into the next part of the
path.
Step 3 - Exit
path You chose .
The best solution is to choose a first hill height of 80 m and exit path
A.
This will give your coaster the maximum possible energy for the rest of
ride, and will avoid a dangerous exit path.
Step 4 - Height of second
hill You chose .
The best solution is to choose a first hill height of 80 m and a second
hill height of 70 m. This will give your coaster the maximum possible
energy for the rest of ride, and will allow the coaster to reach the top
of
the second hill.
Step 5 - The
loop You chose .
The best solution is to choose a first hill height of 80 m, a second hill
height of 70 m, and the elliptical loop. This will give your coaster the
maximum possible energy for the rest of ride, will allow the coaster to
reach the top of the second hill. The elliptical shaped loop will be fun
and will avoid the dangerous effects of a circular loop, which can't yet
be
safely done.
