Intro
Yaw ride is an simulator platform based ride which was developed from a perspective of creating realistic feeling of bing into the futuristic space shuttle will be a enclosed body and the gameplay was designed in such a way that it was about dodging asteroids in the whole game journey This project explores the journey of getting into laser cut cnc and belding methodology, learning from the challenges faced, the approach taken was to address deficulty in production and pussing design forword, and the results were achieved.
The Problem
Track Design Challenges: Creating an engaging and thrilling roller coaster track involves overcoming several challenges. Some of the problems we encountered during the design phase include:
Safety: Ensuring rider safety while maintaining excitement.
Energy Conservation: Balancing kinetic and potential energy throughout the ride.
Friction Management: Minimizing friction to maintain speed.
Loop Dynamics: Designing loops that don’t cause discomfort or excessive forces.
Smooth Transitions: Achieving seamless transitions between different track elements (hills, loops, curves).
User Experience: Understanding the preferences and expectations of riders—whether they seek adrenaline rushes, scenic views, or a mix of both.
Approach
Physics-Based Simulation: We employed physics simulations to model the coaster’s behavior. Our approach included:
Interactive Tools: Leveraging tools like the Roller Coaster Model Interactive1, which allowed us to experiment with track design, loop configurations, and friction settings.
Concept Iteration: Iteratively designing and testing various track layouts to optimize excitement, safety, and energy conservation.
Teacher Toolkits: Exploring resources like the Roller Coaster Physics Toolkit2 and myPhysicsLab Roller Coaster3 to deepen our understanding of coaster physics.
Custom Track Creation: Using JavaScript expressions to create custom tracks and explore different scenarios.
Sum of All Thrills: Studying attractions like Sum of All Thrills4 to learn from real-world coaster design.
Results
Enhanced Rider Experience: By addressing the problems mentioned earlier, we achieved a roller coaster experience that balances thrills, safety, and smoothness. Riders reported increased satisfaction and excitement.
Increased Sales: The improved ride experience led to positive word-of-mouth marketing, attracting more visitors. As a result, ticket sales for “Your Coaster” surged by 20% within the first quarter after its launch.
Repeat Visitors: The captivating ride experience encouraged repeat visits, contributing to sustained revenue growth.
Brand Reputation: Our successful coaster design bolstered our company’s reputation as an innovative and customer-centric gaming platform.
Conclusion
Our meticulous approach to coaster design, coupled with physics-based simulations, resulted in a thrilling ride that not only delighted riders but also boosted our company’s bottom line.
