  • Design of Roller Coasters
    Aalto University School of Engineering Master’s Programme in Building Technology Design of Roller Coasters Master’s Thesis 24.7.2018 Antti Väisänen Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master's thesis Author Antti Väisänen Title of thesis Design of Roller Coasters Master programme Building Technology Code ENG27 Thesis supervisor Vishal Singh Thesis advisor Anssi Tamminen Date 24/07/2018 Number of pages 75 Language English Abstract This thesis combines several years of work experience in amusement industry and a litera- ture review to present general guidelines and principles of what is included in the design and engineering of roller coasters and other guest functions attached to them. Roller coasters are iconic structures that provide safe thrills for riders. Safety is achieved using multiple safety mechanisms: for example, bogies have multiple wheels that hold trains on track, a block system prevents trains from colliding and riders are held in place with safety restraints. Regular maintenance checks are also performed to prevent accidents caused by failed parts. Roller coasters are designed using a heartline spline and calculating accelerations in all possible scenarios to prevent rollbacks and too high values of accelerations, which could cause damage to riders’ bodies. A reach envelope is applied to the spline to prevent riders from hitting nearby objects. The speed and curvature of the track combined create acceler- ations that need to be countered with adequate track and support structures. A track cross- section usually consists of rails, cross-ties and a spine, while support structures can vary depending on height and loads.

  • TH13TEEN Case Study
    TH13TEEN Case Study Alton Towers Resort Background The UK’s most famous leisure park Situated in Staffordshire, Alton Towers Resort is the most visited theme park in the UK. With tons of terrific rides, entertaining live shows, weird and wonderful costume characters and an abundance of fun packed activities, Alton Towers Resort offers something for people of all ages! In addition to the theme park, Alton Towers Resort is also the only short break destination in the UK with two themed world class hotels, an award winning conference centre, a spa, Europe’s largest Waterpark and extraordinary golf! The birth of the modern theme park The earliest evidence of Alton Towers Resort acting as a leisure site for public enjoyment dates back to the 1830s! People would come to marvel at the magnificent house and gardens. The site continued to develop and from the 1880s there were grand fêtes and fireworks, in the 1950s and 1960s there were fairgrounds and in the 70s there were beauty pageants. It wasn’t until the early 1980s that the decision was made to create a modern theme park on the historic grounds of Alton Towers Resort. The ambition to develop the UKs favourite theme park resulted in the launch of the Corkscrew - Britain’s first double loop rollercoaster! During this period there was rapid expansion and the introduction of crowd-pulling attractions, such as the Log Flume, which was the largest in the world at that time! By the mid 1980s the inevitable comparisons were being made to Disney. Despite economic recession, Alton Towers Resort was prospering and in the late 1980s became the most popular ‘payed for’ tourist attraction in Britain.

All these elements are at your fingertips, so use them.

When I designed Nemesis at Alton Towers, I wanted to ensure that there was speed and exhila- TM ration even right up to the last section of track before the station, so I dug a hole just in front of the station brakes and dropped the ride down through a corkscrew below ground level.
