Wyatt D’Emilia Park: Six Flags St. Louis Coaster: Wonder Woman: The Ares Assault, sit-down hyper coaster Site Selection: The coaster will be located in a wooded area nearby Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast, offering a large area for the coaster to cover. Such a wide expanse of land will provide us with ample space to create a truly massive ride, large enough to provide the park with a much needed hyper coaster that will also serve as an eye-catching symbol visible from outside of the park as a way to attract potential guests. My goal is to add a hyper coaster to Six Flags Saint Louis. While the park has its share of coasters, none are large, fast, and lengthy, as the Mr. Freeze ride covers the same track twice. Adding a ride more in the scope of Nitro or Apollo’s Chariot would be a strong addition and a good counterpoint to the wooden rollercoasters throughout the park. I think the park needs a hyper coaster, as they are a strong additional attraction for any park, but by having a more detailed coaster than a launch coaster in the vein of Kingda Ka, a new hyper coaster would be able to attract casual tourists and rollercoaster enthusiasts alike. The ride would have a 215 feet drop into a series of bunny hills, fast turns, and a helix, with a second large drop of 150 feet and a final 180 feet drop occurring near the end of the ride. This provides variety in comparison to the other rides at the park, its smooth transitions and epic scale contrasting well with the smaller and more jarring Batman and Mr. Freeze coasters. The site used will make the most of a great deal of untouched forestland, providing enough space for a large-scale hypercoaster. Two reasons I am using B&M is because I like their use of lifts and drops on their hypercoasters, and while they do not rely on inversions their use of turns and drops allows for the feeling of weightlessness. I also find their scope and scale to be epic in proportion, making them a must for Six Flags St. Louis. Height at Top of First Hill: 225 feet Height of First Drop: 215 feet Positive G’s: 3 Negative G’s: -1 Lateral G’s: 0 Number of Trains: 3 Size of Trains: 7 rows of 4 seats Speed at Bottom of First Hill: First drop (h): 215 feet 65.5 meters Speed at top of hill (vo): 10 mph 4.472 meters per second 2 vf = square root (v0 + 2 * 9.8 * h) = 36.11 meters per second Radius at Bottom of First Hill: G = 3 Speed: 36.11 meters per second 3 * 9.8 = (36.11)2/r = 44.35 meters Wyatt D’Emilia Turn Radius: Speed = 60 mph 26.8 meters per second 3 * 9.8 = (26.8)2/r = 24.42 meters b = tan-1 (3/1) = 71.6º banking Capacity: Riders per hour = (3600/150 sec) * (48) * (3) = 3,456 riders per hour However, due to potential issues getting people on the ride: riders who cannot fit in the restraints, cars with seats left empty, etc., the capacity will probably be closer to 2,800 riders per hour. Cost: $22 million Length of the Ride: 2:30 Wyatt D’Emilia .
