timetrial3141592 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Have you ever noticed that coasters in cartoons are unrealistic and break about 7 laws of physics? A few issues: Wooden Supports (regardless of the inversions) No upstop wheels (or side-friction wheels) There are as many restraints in a row as the creator pleases (like one restraint) No lift chain What else?
jamesdillaman Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Yeah and what's up with the fire underwater on Spongebob Squarepants, not to mention all the animals walking on two legs and talking! Oh yeah, and I can't believe after only overlooking minor flaws like these that the cartoon animators don't spend weeks making sure the math is right on their rollercoasters. Cartoons are cartoons, nobody is really angry if the physics don't work out. -James Dillaman
benzo41190 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Well, cartoons never are really supposed to be realistic But I can see what you mean. Like on Final Destination Three, the roller coaster had like 8 corkscrews, 4 loops, so many hills and turn.....all on a corkscrew
