How are roller coasters dependent on computers?
Coasters and your safety while riding a roller coaster are very dependent on computers. In fact, there are companies that specialize in control system design and engineering. The part that the coaster (and you) depend on is the control systems part. The computer monitors things such as speed and weight through sensors and those sensors send back info to the computers. So that means that when a car is going too fast then the sensors send back info and that info gets sent out, which will tell the brakes how tightly closed they should be and such.

Is building a roller coaster a waste of money?
Personally i don't think roller coasters are a waste of money because for most people they are a lot of fun and create an adrenalin kick ! Yes, they do cost a lot of money to make but if you think about it the theme park gets back the money that they payed for the coaster because they are attracting more tourists to go on the Ride. So no i don't think they are a waste of money... Hope this helped Xx :)
