  • ACE's Scandinavian Sojourn
    ACE’s Scandinavian Sojourn : A Southerner’s Perspective Story by: Richard Bostic, assisted by Ronny Cook When I went on the ACEspana trip back in 2009, it was by far one of the most amazing vacations I have ever experienced. In addition to getting to visit parks in a different culture than we see here, it is also a great opportunity to spend time with fellow enthusiasts and grow friendships while enjoying our common interests. When Scandinavia Sojourn was announced for the summer of 2011, I knew it was a trip I could not miss. Since the 2009 trip was my first trip to Europe I thought that there was no way the over- all experience could be better in Scandinavia. I was wrong. We landed in Helsinki, Finland around 1300 the day before we were required to be at the hotel to meet with the group. Helsinki is an interesting city and fairly new compared to many cities in Europe. Walking around the city you can see the Russian influence in the city’s architecture. In fact, many movies during the cold war would use Helsinki to shoot scenes that are supposed to be set in the Soviet Union. After making our way to the Crowne Plaza Hotel and getting a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant we decided to spend the remaining time that afternoon checking out some of the sites around our hotel. Some of these sites included the Temppeliaukio Church inside of a rock formation, the train station, Routatientori Square and National Theater, and a couple of the city’s art museums.

  • The Queensland Government Safety Alert
    The Queensland Government Safety Alert Safety of Trabant and Matterhorn type amusement rides Published: 29 May 2013 Last Updated: 22 October 2013 Purpose Background Contributing factors Action required Further information Purpose This safety alert highlights potential risks that have been identified with operating Trabant type (and similar) rides and informs amusement ride operators that engineering controls are to be introduced to prevent riders being ejected. Background An amusement device incident, involving the ejection of a five-year-old child from the Frisbee ride (also known as a Trabant ride or UFO, refer to Figure 1a), occurred at Toowoomba in May 2013. Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) investigations are on-going, however the incident has highlighted that further engineering control measures can be implemented to improve rider safety on these rides. The risk of ejection may also exist on other similar older rides such as the: • Matterhorn type amusement ride (see Figure 1b) • Super Satellite (previously UFO) • Alpine Express • Burnout • Giant UFO • Tango Train • Love Express • Raupen Bahn • Rock and Roll. Note: The risk of ejection may also exist on amusement rides with names other than those listed above. There may also be some rides with the names listed above that do not have the same risk because their restraint system is quite different. Figure 1a: Frisbee amusement ride Figure 1b: Music Express amusement ride Contributing factors Trabant and Matterhorn type rides spin the riders at high speed while the carriages travel up and down. The design of the rider restraint systems on these rides generally does not allow adjustment for different sized riders.

  • 98-186 Roller Coasters: Background and Design Spring 2015 Week 5 Notes
    98-186 Roller Coasters: Background and Design Spring 2015 Week 5 Notes Early Major Manufacturers Manufacturers NOTE: As a reminder, I would like you to know about Arrow Dynamics, Schwarzkopf, Vekoma, and Custom Coasters Int. (CCI) for this class, but other manufacturers are presented so you are aware of them. Arrow Dynamics (often shortened to Arrow) Founded in 1946 by WWII vets Karl Bacon and Ed Morgan. Originally a small company making merry-go-rounds and other minor attractions for local amusement parks They were contracted by Disneyland in 1953 to build many of Disneyland’s trademark rides, most of which were quite different than what else was around at the time Disney was pleased with their rides and continued to hire them for many years. This resulted in Arrow’s development of the modern steel roller coaster for the Matterhorn Bobsleds During the 60s, they didn’t do much coaster-wise, but worked towards developing the log flume, a roller coaster-esque water ride where riders sit inline in log themed boats and navigate a trough of water, culminating in a major drop and splashdown In the mid-1970s, they picked back up in the roller coaster market with the development of the modern inversion, securing their position as the dominant steel coaster manufacturer in the US o Their coasters were in high demand at this time. During the 70s / 80s, pretty much every major park had an Arrow coaster, if not multiple Arrow coasters One of Arrow’s major trait was of being innovators in the industry, often being the first to create a certain style of ride o They invented the suspended coaster, a style of coaster where the cars hang beneath the track rather than ride on top, and the cars can swing freely from side to side (unlike inverted coasters).
