Roller Coaster Design Activity

Objective: To design and build a simple, to scale, 3-D, roller coaster model.

Design a roller coaster on paper, show the velocities, g’s felt, and heights. The diagram needs to be neat and readable. The model is to be to scale on a piece of card board. The track is made from paper. The supports are made from manila folder or foam core board. The lines on the track represent the cross-ties on the track. Please print them off on a computer or draw them VERY neatly and evenly spaced.

Your design must at least have an initial drop, a hill, a loop and a banked curve.
