It’s Not A 4D Coaster – Silly Freespin

There are certain things that get on my nerves like improper use of FEA and gussets. This is one of them. Most coasters are 4D coasters (Surge, pitch, roll yaw) but the S&S freespins are not 4D. Actually less, 3 Dimension and still a good ride!

Take a few minutes to understand how we calculate degrees of freedom. And yes, they all have names.
