How are roller coasters made?
First an amusement will ask a design company for a new roller coaster design, the amusement park owner usually tells the company the price range and intensity of the roller coaster. The park will then send measurements of the area that the company has to build the coster. The company then designs a roller coaster that meets the standards of safety and intensity set by the park owner. If the owner likes it the company sends an order for supplies needed. Many times the designer will have to rewrite the plan more than once. Once the parts arrive at the park you have yourself what looks like a big jigsaw puzzle. There is a huge plan that can be usually over 300 pages long. Using the plan builders take more than 3 months to build the roller coaster with a team of 75 people or more and many, many machines. Roller Coasters are usually made out of steel now, but some if they are asked they are made out of wood. The idea of a roller coaster came from the 16th century Russian ice slides. in 1817
