  • Thrill Ride King of Coasters
    Up to Speed Up to Speed Cedar Point Top Thrill Dragster is the world's second fastest roller coaster. It is topped only by Kingda Ka. Thrill Ride Kingda Ka is one wild ride. As you wait in line, you hear the screams of people riding the roller coaster. Part of you can't wait to ride it; another part of you wants to bolt in the opposite direction. Before you know it, it's your turn to board. You brace yourself. Whoosh! With a roaring blast, the thrill ride rockets from 0 to 128 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds. Before you can catch your breath, the train whisks you straight up 456 feet. When it can go no farther, gravity plummets the coaster downward into a dizzying spiral twist. The train then whips you through another valley and zooms up another hill. Congratulations! You have just experienced one of the fastest-and tallest-roller coasters on Earth. King of Coasters Kingda Ka, or the "King of Coasters," opened in the spring of 2005 at the Six Flags Great ReadWorks.org Copyright © 2007 Weekly Reader Corporation. All rights reserved.

The jaw-dropping thrill ride shattered the world's record for roller coaster speed and height when it opened. Of the more than 1,000 roller coasters in the United States, it was the latest "extreme" coaster to be built. Six Flags roller coaster designer Larry Chickola said that building Kingda Ka wasn't easy.

  • 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.
