A. Great American Scream machine

Time to reach 1st top 37.3s
Time to pass E 1.6 s
Length of train 18 m
Force meter at D ff ( force factor) = 3.5
at E ff =1.75

B. Taz Twister

T for 5 revs =10 sec
Force meter ff = 2.1
Horiz meter = 65 deg

C. Rolling Thunder
t to top 31 s
just calculate forces ; meter readings not available

D. Runaway Train
to for train to pass 1.3 s
Beta = 34 deg
L of train 15.5 m
radius = 26 m
forcefactor = 1.5

E. Log Flume
L = 3.4 m
T a to B = 3.1 s
t splash = 2 s
T for boat to pass under C is 0.8 s

F. Carousel
Time for one rev ( period 11.5 s seems too long to me)
12 horses in each ring
space per horse 1.8 m inner 2.6 m outer

tilts toward center

G. Batman

t to reach top 30 s
Meter at B force factor (ff) = 1
at D ff=3.5
at E ff = 1.6

t for train to pass E =1.0 s

Batman cont’d

t to pass point P = 1 s
Beta = 65 deg
ff at P = 1.5
