The big idea
Designing a roller coaster is part math, part art, and part safety check. AI helps designers test how a ride feels — without anyone actually riding it!
Some examples
- AI simulates a coaster's loops to check if g-forces are safe.
- It can test what happens at every speed and curve.
- Designers tweak the design until AI says 'this is fun AND safe'.
- Then real engineers build it for real people to enjoy.
Try it!
Sketch your dream coaster. Ask AI: 'Is this design safe? What would you change?' See what it says!
