How do you design a roller coaster?

Answer 1

you have to design and it can take up to 1/2 a year depending on how extreme it is. then if it is steel workers at a factory make it in pieces and then they make it but if it is wooden workers will make it on the site in pieces

Answer 2

There are many ways that people design Roller Coasters. The most common way today is by computer-assisted design. However, one couldn't explain this in one page. It's a very intricate process, almost like designing a bridge or building. It often involves calculus and force vector design, along with electrical and computer knowledge, along with architect skills.

Yet, for those who want to design roller coasters for fun or in their spare time, there are a good bit of programs out there that do just that.

For beginners, there are the numerous RollerCoaster Tycoon videogames that let people build parks and roller coasters in simple piece-by-piece construction. However, this does not reflect real life in any way. Most of these games can be purchased in stores.

For people wanting to get their hands on what real coaster designers use (not to design their coasters, but to present the idea extremely accurately to show their design), there is NoLimits, the most realistic roller coaster simulation on the market. Even though this program has a very steep learning curve it can yield some extremely powerful results. Also, there are third-party programs that we made by other people that are made to do more in NoLimits. These programs, such as Newton, Helix Swiss Army Knife, and the infamous Purgatorium, make NoLimits easier (or harder) to use. They vary form making perfect parts of a coaster for you to involving complicated calculus to make a simple curve. Some of these programs even use the same design techniques that real coaster designers use (Newton, Purgatorium). Basically, NoLimits is the bridge barely stretching and connecting RollerCoaster Tycoon to real-life design.

Although not available in stores, it is up for download for $30. The team is also currently working on NoLimits2, which will replace NoLimits v1.72. NoLimits has constantly been updated (free for those) since it's debut in 2001, which includes unveiling new coaster types and tools.
