vacoaster Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hello all, I am currently a senior Mechanical Engineering Major and I have a small presentation to deliver on the Manufacturing of Roller Coasters. I chose to focus my presentation on the actual fabrication of track. Does anyone know where I can find information on the manufacturing of both Steel and Wooden track. I have to break this down to the various machining processes used from the Design, to the equipment used (or process), and assembly. Any Help would be great. Finally I am looking for specs in terms of cost analysis and time for production. Again if anyone in the business cares to share any of this information or anyone knows where I can get a hold of such information this would be great. I've tried performing general searches online to no success as unlike simple things (like the manufacturing of pencils or chalk boards), roller coasters do not have information that publicly accessible. I decided to try TPR first before I bothered driving up my phone bill to call the actual manufacturers whom I assume will be reluctant to reveal detailed information. If you do have information but do not want to disclose in such a public forum please PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
