So after an eight month hiatus, I’ve finally freed up some time to work on Tilley’s Terror, a three inversion backyard coaster.
I’ve decided that to minimize risk and maximize my current coaster, I’m going to do this in two phases. Phase 1 is to develop the launch, PLC controls and integrate it into the existing coaster. Phase 2 is to redo the track and add the inversions as well as some brakes.
In this video we are looking at the mechanics and structure of the launch system in CAD and discussing some of the design decisions made. Let’s take a look.
