Engineering Thrill

Roller coaster engineers combine kinematics, dynamics, and imagination to create a product that instills fun, excitement, and a bit of anxiety into park patrons while maintaining the highest safety standards. Quartus engineers have worked with the world's leading providers of roller coasters to help engineer a safe, yet thrilling, patron experience. Let us help you to design, analysis, and test amusement park thrills.

Minimize Ride Maintenance

During the first golden age of roller coasters the support structures were constructed out of wood, limiting the scope of what was possible. The second golden age yielded the birth of steel coasters that pushed height and speed limits, yet provided a smoother, more dynamic experience. In order deliver the thrill demanded by modern park patrons and meet operational maintenance specifications it is necessary to understand and design for the structural behavior of the coaster under all environmental conditions. Quartus engineers have experience designing, analyzing, and testing roller coasters to withstand the cyclic loading caused by thermal expansion, dynamic loading, and wind gusts.

Measure and Quantify Excitement

Park operators are always looking for ways to minimize costs, attraction downtime, and maintanence intervals. Next time, include Quartus on your redevelopment team. Quartus engineers work with you to determine the root cause of your continual maintenance through the combined efforts of test and analysis. Quartus can help you derive the roller coaster's structural loads through a test-analysis effort where static and operational strain responses are measured and used to correlate a structural finite element model. Test verified analysis is invaluable for delivering solutions to your amusement park challenges.
