This REAL rollercoaster has a 99.99% death rate...

The Euthanasia Coaster is engineering to the max, and after reading about it I decided to see if I can replicate it in Planet Coaster before engineering my own version!

[@o76923]

For those who don't know the story of the euthanasia coaster, the point wasn't to actually build a suicide device it was to start a discussion about how we think about death. As a result, there are a bunch of other interesting design choices implemented in the idea that couldn't make it into the model or Planet Coaster. For example: it discusses the possibility of using a mechanical release on the restraints and a sharp turn to evacuate the corpses produced by the ride cleanly and efficiently without human intervention because scooping people out of it would be uncomfortable.

@@death_walker21 for a longer amount of time you can’t handle 10Gs but it’s not the bones that can’t handle the forces it’s the brain as it doesn’t get blood/oxygen and will at some point stop your hart. For an example in F1 there has been multiple 50g+ accidents in the last year none has had any broken bones. There has also been 100g+ accidents and the bones tend to brake. If you’ve ever tried an intense coaster an your vision starts to get wired it’s actually the beginning of it but coasters only pulls half of what that coaster would do and for very less time

This brings back memories of this one roller coaster I designed.....I can't remember the name of the game I designed it in, but I put in a crapload of loops, twists and turns throughout the ride that progressively took the ride higher and higher before ending in a steep drop back into the station! As if that wasn't bad enough, I put in speed boosters set at 250 MPH every couple of feet or so. The speed that thing reached when it was entering the station was in excess of 600 MPH! The coaster was going so fast, it couldn't stop, and would just fly on through, continuing on its way!

Couple tips: There is an option for angle snap when building coasters so you can get perfect angles. After building a section of track, you can click on it, drag two arrows along the track to expand your selection, and press a 'smooth all' button to reduce excess bumps. Queue decorations will increase guests' tolerance of waiting in the queue. With that said, I've got a challenge for you. Try to build a coaster longer than 800 meters that reaches 9 excitement overall without exceeding 6 fear and 6 nausea. Having played this game myself quite extensively, I'll tell you it's not easy. Buuuut, being an engineer, I'm sure you'll figure it out. I'll give you one hint to get you started: anti-banked turns are more exciting than unbanked turns.

[@ikaptinawesum]

Fun fact: the "death coaster" has one person seats that hauls u up 1.6k feet in the air where you will press a button to either stop or take the drop you are passed out for 1 minute before you "die" now this coaster was never built but if it was it would be the tallest coaster ever

For perspective, fighter pilots wear specially designed suits, known as "g-suits," to keep blood adequately pumping to their brain above 8gs. Generally speaking, these suits are rated up to 10gs (personally haven't seen higher, but I could be wrong) for VERY SHORT periods of time. Any one of these loops would be a hefty risk for a pilot. That's the real power of this design: you're not just experiencing 10gs for a couple of seconds, the actual loop part is designed to last upwards of a minute, with the creator of this design explaining that subsequent loops may be provided for the more G-resistant.
