Freefall - Roller Coaster

[@MrMegame21]

That would be funny watching people go up the hill as the seats drop like that.

[@Recurious]

The concept of the free falling seats of the train is amazing. Would be really awesome if a rollercoaster like this would be build

[@atomicandrewvideos]

Concept: 8/10 Layout: 1/10 Animation: 10/10

[@Mama-gs2bh]

***** Lol! But mean.

[@atomicandrewvideos]

lol

[@Cooperbsound]

Actually id give the animation a 5/10 personally, it made the layourt look a lot worse and much rougher because the animator doesnt know how physics works. Layout still wasn't great though, would've given that a 5 to be fair

[@noootooooboooo]

FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE SAYING SHITTY COMMENTS LIKE "OH THERES TOO MUCH G-FORCE OR OH YOU WOULD DIE, OR EVEN THERE ARENT ENOUGH CARS," PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIDEO PRESENTING ANIMATION, NOT ENGINEERING.

[@RickIrvin]

Ding-ding-ding... We have a winner!!! Thanks Libby, I'm glad all that effort writing the description wasn't totally wasted. One person has read it and more importantly, understood it. You have saved my sanity! P.s. This isn't the next instalment for Roller Coaster Tycoon!

[@noootooooboooo]

+Rick Irvin It just doesn't make any sense to me as to why people disliked this video because of engineering. This was an incredible show of animation skills, so I don't see the issue other's do.

[@roomypoprock]

I liked the idea, but it could ha e been presented a bit better, keep up the good work :)

[@xxxegacion_3307]

And for you triggered nuisance we are saying that it is not possible to build in rl we obviously know it's animation you dumb shit

[@Thejeronhowie]

it would not work simply because of the lateral g forces. when the seat detract on loops that would add almost 2.5 g's to a ride where the g forces would measure five or higher. I design coasters as a side profession so i thought i would add my two cents. Still a great concept!

[@skylerpowers8871]

+JERON HOWIE The seats don't appear to detract on loops, only on the lift hill. The seats are locked in their detracted position for the remainder of the ride according to this video.

[@shTree]

JERON HOWIE A side profession? Who do you design coasters for?

[@kioku119]

There was one point where I thought I saw them detract. I may be wrong though.

[@shTree]

Kioku after the lift it appears they are unlocked, and can freely slide. OP is wrong, when the seats slide out during an inversion, or slide in during a period where force is applied in the opposite direction, there is less force on the rider because temporarily, the seats are moving in the direction the force pushes. At the point where they stop suddenly at their maximum extent, they now will be applying the normal amount of force. That said, it would still be incredibly dangerous, because at the point where the seats hit their maximum extent, they will have an almost instant, large, change in acceleration. The rate of change of speed is acceleration. The rate of change of acceleration is called jerk, and this would be going from nearly 0 to 3-4 gs in an incredibly short amount of time, which is dangerous.

[@kioku119]

Thanks for all of those details!

[@josh52298]

This is possibly the most exciting roller coaster I've ever seen. Dude, it's freakin awesome! Honestly, the best I've seen on youtube and anywhere else.

[@meganlovejoy5784]

I would probably have a heart attack on this 😂

[@thorsmarvel1807]

same bro same 😂😂😂

[@cutestpieV]

+Megan Lovejoy I rode something similar to this in Vienna. It is called the "Zamperla Volare Coaster" as my 1st ride ever. Closed my eyes throughout the ride! a whole 2min30sec ride!!! Longest 2.5mins in my life! Never again!

[@JamesAC17GA]

GODDAMN, the nostalgia is SO FUCKING OVERWHELMING. This looks incredible. The feedback i would have given this 13 years ago if i weren't 5 years old would be that the speed of the ride looks too fast, and off at certain parts, also, the sound effects, decent, but honestly, could have been better, otherwise, this was incredibly well put together!

[@6sl76v6]

Looks like torture.

[@stormgirl09]

This would be sooooo awesome!! And imagine doing the free fall element all while on the drop! Dropping while you drop! Dropception!! :D

[@RickIrvin]

girlstorm09 thankyou. That was exactly the theory behind the concept. Giving the ride an unpredictability and thus a greater thrill. Dropception 😂

[@terryinfernosmith7378]

1:00 "Ahh! I'm falling onto the catwalk 3 feet below me!"

[@ashlynp6048]

Terry Inferno Smith yesss 😂

[@christopherkrug2191]

if this ride were available it would be awesome...love the way you actually ride on top of the cars and flips you over like your flying...and to top it off...the cars with you in it drop out about 6 feet over and over...i loved this video and i would definately go on this ride.

[@noootooooboooo]

+Captainyolo before you go telling other people they're wrong, please fix your grammar. It's bugging the everlasting shit out of me.

[@xxxegacion_3307]

Libby Dolan when people are right other people start looking for Grammer mistakes and he's actually right the G force would kill him

[@Socritiques]

I want to ride this

[@karlyquick9061]

Me to

[@peterreid]

i have... the cue was over an hour.. worth it though dude

[@travisharvey1298]

peter reid its not been made you obviously lying... its aparrently a project for this guys college degree's...in computer programming/animations

[@peterreid]

dude im not lying.. ive been on this ride..it was epic...its called freefall

[@peterreid]

***** well i survived.. deal with it..im sure the fucking video proves it is real....haters gonna hate

[@mrsdixon926]

I absolutely LOVE THIS!!!! You're right, the seats popping out is what made me watch the rest of the video, otherwise, it would just be another rollercoaster - but a REALLY long one and pretty entertaining one. If anyone took part of the design, I think, they'd shorten it up quite a bit which would take out some of the appeal - but most definitley not all of it! Awesome job!

[@danwright5996]

since when could dummys scream

[@artable3]

Dunno, can you scream?

[@Alphabobman2]

***** killed him

[@triple7marc]

Dan Wright Since you commented 😉

[@tomhall1758]

I like the concept of this kind of coaster.

[@shadowsofnoobs]

You got the speed, deceleration, acceleration, g forces, and everything completely wrong. Nice artwork though.

[@coastercrew3256]

Vodalo it’s not supposed to be realistic

[@bacardybuster6217]

this is definitly the future of roller coasters

[@scarekraken]

+Bacardy Buster This will kill you. The GForces are way to high. Also the layout of the roller coaster is impossible.

[@ion8665]

this looks like the coolest shit ever!

[@donnakelly5276]

This is the BEST roller coaster " idea " I have ever seen. I hope you can make it come to life, in the DELMARVA area..

[@riparianlife97701]

Not enough riders per train. The lines would be horrible.

[@darksinthe]

Not if you jack up the price to the point that only the rich/willful ride it, therefore bottlenecking the amount of riders and still gaining relative profit.

[@cypressgold]

Ben Heintz How about no.

[@cypressgold]

***** This conversation was about pricing if this was made. Being mad at the fact you are late to the party or something?

[@cypressgold]

***** You are calling me retarded? Learn to use punctuation before you start to insult me.

[@cypressgold]

***** Yet again, proving my own point. Those videos you viewed are old, before I learned English myself. Yet you try to insult me now with the fact that I, back in the past, did not know proper English. You say that you "learned" English, yet you still fail to use proper grammar. Also, when calling someone retarded, consider the thought that if said person can reply with a line of thought stricken into a statement, than that person must not be retarded. Look up the definition of retarded before insulting me again. Copy and paste the definition if you must.

[@theivorydude]

this ride has GOT to become a reality! so so cool

[@Howlingburd19]

Nice idea, that G-Force when you push the riders down on the lift hill could be pretty high, and this ride is taking those tight turns and inversions way too fast, which could also be a G-Force problem. Other than that, I would seriously ride a unique coaster like this, keep up the good work!

[@RickIrvin]

Comment of the year I reckon haha. Thanks, really glad you enjoyed the vid. Well it was my major piece for my final year at University. Uni ran from September 2008 - June 2009 but I also had another minor piece to complete too which ran September - December 2008. So for the first few months I was purely designing it whilst I finished my minor piece. I guess it was about 6 months intensive work with another month or two on and off. Loved it though.

[@can_you_guess_my_new_username]

I rode on this and it was so much fun. My friend was scared and passed out but the park was nice and gave her a free drink. it was amazing... everyone should try it

[@robertoherrera7781]

This is real

[@collerroaster928]

This coaster does not exist.

[@Mini3005news]

"Europa Park", best amusement parc - Cel mai frumos parc de distractii din lume

[@riparianlife97701]

10 riders per train? Anything less than 24 riders per train, and your queue times are going to be very, very long.

[@bobthebear1246]

Exactamundo. Great graphics, though. I'll give him some major props for that.

[@riparianlife97701]

Bob Schneider Yeah, it's nicely rendered. I'll give it that.

[@RickIrvin]

Not heard of that ride before, I'll be sure to have a goosey gander. Cheers

[@TjSamson]

Only 10 riders per train??? If this was going to build the line queue will 1/2 mile long.

[@juneharrison698]

I hope that someone will make a rollercoaster Like this some day soon. It looks awesome and I would definitely ride it.

[@juice9626]

I would cry and have a heart attack if this was real😂

[@IsothosestrasZephyr]

The screams are hilarious! But I love this concept and the animation, amazing work!

[@jawoody9745]

Make this happen!!!!

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Nice coaster there that I would love to ride. Good job.

[@xXSilverXSkyXx]

i dont like the people dropping down like that, it seems like it would be painful?

[@WillGallagher1]

Very cool concept! Would love to see this idea developed further and hopefully if a ride like this ever was fully constructed it would have better capacity.

[@MadCatPerson1977]

This looks great! I hope one day this design becomes real - have you taken it to any theme parks?

[@JulieBe8780]

I thought that was pretty amazing! Made me think of the future. Well animated, modelled etc. Although made years ago congrats. Especially as it reminded me of a few current sci fi films. Your ahead of the times here

[@MrPatrickbuit]

yeah... that's impossible.

[@MrSnelneddy]

loved the camera shaking when the train passed by.

[@DeaconYT]

I would Shit myself on this ride!

[@KostisTsioulakis]

This is a TREMENDOUSLY brilliant animation work!!!!!! Well done!!

[@noootooooboooo]

That would be inane in real life

[@RickIrvin]

I worked on the concept heavily, as it was the whole selling point of the ride. But I can assure you it is used throughout the ride. In the beginning, as the coaster ascends the track, the seats drop in order to promote fear of the ride, to make the passenger feel out of control. The seats then continue to drop/extend through the turns/corners, generally at full extension at the apex. Glad you liked the concept :)

[@jrsmagicalmusic790]

What video where the screams from can you send of link

[@raycheldegroot9822]

oh hell noooooo lol

[@5bfennell]

I would definitely ride this if it was an actual ride somewhere! Looks awesome! !

[@okayge_]

dumbest idea ive ever seen

[@allanyanez5466]

So many people bashing the animation, this may not be the best the idea a roller coaster but at least he put in all this hard work to create this video. Show some respect at least.

[@pandandthundercat]

now that's a ride great job

[@animefangirlxx]

that sudden stop at the end would cause some serious whiplash if your head isn't secured.

[@jawoody9745]

You did an amazing job, Richard. It's outstanding!

[@lvhamed]

Fabulous work Rick! Incredible coaster design and animation work.

[@SamMarieJ]

That is the best idea of a roller coaster I've ever seen. You would be one rich guy if this was real because I know that I would ride this 5 million+ times!

[@mattiep7555]

Dude if it was built i would come this coaster looks bananas and the seat pistons that drop you looks wicked .i say you need to get this built somewhere in some park soon the ques would be long but well worth the wait. This coaster is what im talking about bigger faster and crazier. guys like yourself coming up with concept coasters like this is what i love about amusement parks and coasters. Dude you rock for this design totally awseome!!!!

[@iSmifflesHabbo]

This looks awesome, I'd so go on this ride!

[@derrickdavis9357]

Wow...Hopes it comes to fruition one day.I would love to ride it.

[@JohnSmith-mk5xm]

This would be an amazing ride!

[@aussieskates]

Beautiful and sculptural. You have tremendous flair and originality. Keep up the great work. I hope something fun comes of your project.

[@Ragluvvulgar]

THIS IS AN AMAZING CONCEPT THIS WOULD BE AN EPIC RIIIIDE THE LINE TO RIDE THIS THING WOULD BE HELLA LOOONG

[@dancerella10]

That was unbelievably epic. I want to ride this.

[@jranner]

This is awesome. Much better than a lot of crappy rides that actually make it into production! keep going with your engineering, you have obvious talent sir!

[@amreenshahan5029]

if this comes up..i think this must be the world's most AMAZING n AWESOMEST thing on de planet.. spcially for the people who love thses kinda things... im realli looking forward to it !!

[@arenalinecentraluk]

Very imaginative, excellently executed - amazing to watch!! Maybe one day you could even get Thorpe Park interested in buying one! Love the 'random bungees' - would be a scary coaster that's for sure!!

[@princesskatalicious]

I would so ride this! Great design!

[@boshty]

ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON HERE I COME

[@staplesfoley]

That would be so fun :) I like the subtle water marks in the sky :)

[@RickIrvin]

Cheers for backing me up mate. Your spot on. Those "tons of hours" was something in the region of 8 months solid work. If you spot any more fake trailers I'd appreciate the heads up. Thanks again

[@RickIrvin]

Cheers. The little details are always fun to put in there

[@FanglyFish]

It would be a nightmare to make this practical enough to work in real life, but that doesn't make the concept any less awesome!

[@vosslar93]

my lord the technical difficulites in the construction and safety of such a ride is immense, however the ride itself is of an amazing concept... and i want it naow >_>

[@dirtymainez5965]

This ride looks awesome!! YOU SHOULD GET THIS PUBLISHED AND THEY MIGHT BUILD IT.

[@MissZindzi]

uhhhh...this is amazing and I'm sweating just looking at it. Good job!

[@kimiquinn08]

looks amazing, great job, this looks really real! would be an epic sell out if any theme park brought this ride and made it, would be a great experience to ride it, concept is a little similar to air at alton towers, which is a really cool ride. well done!

[@tylerd9414]

This ride is crazy. I wish it was for real. This is amzing. You should design more rollercoasters.

[@theoryg]

That was really neat! I wanted to rush threw it but it kept my interest.

[@LosReyesSon]

Nice job, Rick. Thought this was indeed cool. Wish I could ride thise one.

[@erezed]

this is simply brilliant and beautiful! very inspiring thank you

[@darkfly0213]

Great Work RIck Irvin This Would Honestly be A Very Good Roller Coaster To Go On But honestly Its A Really Good Animation Keep Up The Good Work! -Darkfly

[@Haleyheartsmakeup16]

that would be an awsome ride to go on!!

[@foreverfearless49]

please make some more of these! it's a great video, well done! :)

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Awesome animation. This would be cool to ride too. Nice video.

[@ProOnride]

This is an extremly cool roller coaster and a very good idea... Keep on the good work.

[@KeybladeScar]

Why hasn't this been made yet I would definitely ride this :D

[@oncgtravis]

wow this animation was very nice , u are a very talented student! and i would ride this ride over and over!! such thrill!!

[@jessicapoota4811]

such a cool concept! I would be the first in line to ride this! nice....

[@AkmHisatomi]

Awesome!! Nice work!!! You are so creative, I would love to ride on this!!

[@mrsdixon926]

Lol - most rollercoasters are dangerous whether the seats pop out or not. lol It looks INSANE and I might piss myself, but I'll ride it!

[@RickIrvin]

The seats extending is the whole basis of the concept, if they didn't "pop" out then it would just be another normal roller coaster. Even if one company takes inspiration from this and produces a new variant of coaster then I'll be happy.

[@TheHuesSciTech]

Lol, this looks distinctly fatal at certain places! Love it.

[@RickIrvin]

Good call... Wasn't aware of this type of loop before. Might include it in the next animation I make. Thanks

[@RickIrvin]

Thanks alot. I'm really glad you enjoyed it and that someone actually understands the concept lol. Hoping to get another animation done in the future. But I need to do it in my spare time after work :( so its not going to be soon unfortunately.

[@celticfireify]

I got sick just watching! This could never be real. If it ever is it'll be the last thing I do before I die! Great, thank you

[@ParanoiaHades86]

future of all roller Coaster That would be an awsome roller coaster

[@a7x4life521]

This idea is amazing. Yes, it's one of those rides where you're standing in line for the first time and you're shitting your pants. But this concept is amazing

[@Defytheordinary]

This would be the most awesome ride EVER! xD

[@Mau506]

Just 2 things: - There would not make sense to have inspection areas that tall because they're made to check the track state from a closer angle and low enough to fix broken parts with a wrench, you can't do that when catwalk is 4 meters up from the track. - Again: 4-meter tall trains, 5 with the extended freefall seats, you'll need a lot of distance from the track to the ground to give it room to roll and not hit the ground.

[@ItsDanGlock]

that's one sick ride tho... can't lie bout that.

[@stberns45]

Wow, I'm not a very big fan of big rides but that look amazing! I wouldn't go on it myself because I'm not not keen on rides but I'm sure that Freefall would attract thousnds of people each day and I would certainly go and see what the ride was like :)

[@jdancerxoxo99]

if this was rollercoaster. i bet it would pull in loadss of moneyy.. ffor sure i would go on it.. and dude.. your like a geniuss... thiss rolle coaster idea shuld be made into a reall coaster... i would LOVE to go on it!!

[@sjslib]

Omg if that was a real coaster I would absolutely go on it, great job on the animation by the way
