El Loco

The Indoor Roller Coaster

Jump #2

Advanced Carts

Jumps

  • Seats getting safer as time goes on
  • Cart design on El Loco identical to many already existing

Jump #6

Advanced Carts

Features Continued

  • 4 person carts

- 2 in front 2 in back

  • Speakers built in
  • Seat belts/restraints
  • Gravity-defying action
  • Barrel rolls
  • Reverse 240 degree roll into another drop

Features

Launch Coasters

One of a Kind

  • top speed of 45 mph
  • 1300 feet of yellow track
  • 72 Seconds long
  • 90 ft drop to start
  • 6 other Coasters like it in:

- Australia

- France

- China

- the United Kingdom

- Indiana.)

  • Only El Loco coaster indoors

Jump #1

Steel Design

  • Steel cables instead of chains to pull uphill
  • 0 to 200 km/hr in 4 secs

Jump #8

Jump #9

Future

Innovative Indoor Roller coaster opens

Electromagnetic Power

  • Provides a smooth ride
  • Used in many modern coasters
  • Would be used as launch mechanisms
  • Create magnetic waves to push carts down tracks at extreme speeds
  • Hold carts to the track
  • Predicted to use electromagnetic power
  • Death defying drops
  • Sophisticated Carts
  • Extreme Speeds

Jump #10

Engineering

Jump #5

Loops

  • Design the layout and performance of coasters
  • Fewer than 3 dozen roller-coaster design companies
  • Should get a mechanical engineering degree

Jump #4

  • Passenger Acc. pushes them away from the car, while their inertia pushes them into the car floor
  • Creates false gravity
  • Most loops don't need restraints to hold passengers in

Forces

Jump #3

Jump #7

Indoor Coasters

  • Acceleration: slows you down and speeds you up
  • Gravity: always pulling you down

Safety

  • Indoor roller coasters are becoming more common.
  • Biggest pro is no weather
  • Almost no cons
  • Going too fast on a coaster can allow gravity to stop the flow of blood to the brain and eyes, which can cause temporary blindness and blackouts

  • Computer-Aided Design (CAD): used by professionals to keep coasters safe
