Coaster Theming

• Based on the Sugar Rush track from Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph

• Slalom, Cy-Bug drop and Cherrybomb Mountain based directly on elements from the movie

• Meant to feel like a video game racetrack

Signature Element - Analysis• Matlab plot of Cherrybomb

Mountain path

• Simplified for ease of plotting

• Actual curvature changes

non-linearly

• Tangential/Forward Acceleration: 0g

• Normal/Vertical Acceleration: 1g

• Body/Lateral Acceleration: ~1g to 1.8g

• Actual: ~0.8g to 1.4g

• Assumes constant velocity of 50mph
