Rollercoaster simulation

Hey Scratchers,
Im working on a rollercoaster simulation project. It will probably be the most awesome rollercoaster centered project you have ever seen.  You will be able to design the track, and then ride the coaster!  My only problem is getting the rotation centers of the pieces perfect and I'm heading into a school week, so it could be a while before It actually comes out.  Feel free to post ideas!

Re: Rollercoaster simulation

cool! I found a simulation that might give you some inspiration for piece shapes, and it's very fun to play around with. Here You Go!

Have fun!  big_smile

Re: Rollercoaster simulation

I have a gallery with a bunch of Rollercoaster sims that you can look at if you want.
Sounds like a great idea and I hope it works well.  smile

Re: Rollercoaster simulation

If you want, I have some pictures of each part of the roller coaster.

You need, loop, turn right, turn left, straight, and Ill put in some surprises for you too.

Re: Rollercoaster simulation

You should be able to pick a cart and then submit your own!

Sorry I don't have the right shockwave to run the program, but thanks for the thought.
