Many roller coasters that have been created in the last few years would have never been possible without computer technology. I have always loved roller coasters and this article caught my attention because computers are one of the reasons they have become so fast and frightening. I decided to do a search on Google and found this article that shows just how computers and roller coasters are connected. CAD or Computer-aided design softwares have received the most attention lately for roller coaster building.
It is popular because engineers can test out their brilliant coaster ideas and see them come to life. The new “X” in Six Flags CAD can allow engineers to work out the G-force testing and measuring much quicker than with a pencil and paper. Schalke, an arrow dynamics engineer is one of the pioneers behind creating roller coasters through softwares. A company can see how people will react to the twists, turns, and g-forces before the roller coaster is built. Because of this builders have become much more creative and accurate in their designs. Predictions of speeds are also more accurate.
Arrow dynamics have been used ever sense the 1940’s when Disneyland was created, but only recently has it been taken to the next level on computers. It is amazing to see how much roller coasters have improved, and in the future they will get even better. As computers and technology advances, roller coasters will also advance. I think the article I found was perfect for this summary because it was informative but not overwhelming. CAD is a great program for roller coaster designers, and if I was interested in that career I would definitely use computer technology to my advantage..
