A Big Hero 6 themed rollercoaster by Alice J,

Miranda C and Weina J Year 8

Our Roller-Coaster Plan

Our Big Hero 6 themed roller-coaster will have:

1 loop and 3 drops,

A San Fransokyo based bridge obstacle,

A ride through the teleportation portals,

A circular layout.

The Big Flyer 6 roller coaster

The name of our roller-

coaster is

THE BIG FLYER 6.

There will be music playing

while you are on the ride -

(Immortals by Fall Out Boy)

Initial idea

The track We calculated that the total track

length is 702m, including the loop.

First Drop

● Initial climb of 40m

● Drop of 30m

● Gradient of 60°

● Potential Energy of 590,00J

at the top

● Kinetic Energy of 440,00J at

the bottom

● Speed (velocity) of 24.5 m/s

● Acceleration of 21.8m/s

● G-force of 2.2

Second Drop

● Initial climb of 70m

● Drop of 60 metres

● Gradient of 60°

● Potential Energy of

1,000,000J at the top

● Kinetic Energy of 880,000J

at the bottom

● Speed (velocity) of 34.3 m/s

● Acceleration of 25.9 m/s

● G-force of 2.7

Third Drop

● Initial climb of 70m

● Drop of 80 metres

● Gradient of 60°

● Potential Energy of 1,000,000J

at the top

● Kinetic Energy of 1,180,000J at

the bottom

● Speed (velocity) of 39.5 m/s

● Acceleration of 27.9 m/s

● G-force of 2.8

Loop-the-Loop

● Approximately 223m of track in total

● Reaches heights of 70m

● At it’s lowest point(25m):

o Large radius of 70m

o Velocity of 38.3m/s

o Acceleration of 16.8 m/s

o G-force of 1.7

● At it’s highest point(70m):

● Small radius of 7.5m

● Velocity of 24.2 m/s

● Acceleration of 39 m/s

● G-force of 3.98 (the same as a drag racing car)

The loop-the-loop is of a

clothoid shape, to make it

safer for passengers.

Otherwise it would have

too high G-forces which

could kill.

The Maths We Used to Make the Rollercoaster Design...

Decor on the ride

During the first drop you

will enter a tunnel from

the movie, which will look

like the picture on the

right. You will stay in this

tunnel until the tallest

rise when you will exit

the tunnel, before

dropping. The inside of

this tunnel looks like the

picture on the bottom

right.

When you come out of the

tunnel at the top of the ride

there will be a very short

pause (2 seconds at most) in

which passengers can look

across Disneyland, before

being taken by surprise when

the cart plummets.

Cart design

Seats: there are 2 rows of 3 seats per wing, so each cart holds 12 people

Since this

drawing

was

made, we

have

changed it

so there

are 12

seats per

cart, in 2

rows of 3

per wing.

San Fransokyo bridge, and boarding the

ride

Because of the angle of

the drop, it will look like

you are about to crash

in San Fransokyo

bridge but instead you

fall through one of the

gaps on the bridge.

Thank you for your time!
