How Much Is A Backyard Roller Coaster?

The cost of a Backyard roller coaster ranges from $3500 to $800000 depending on the following factors:
Material:

Backyard Roller Coaster (Track) made from Steel

Backyard Roller Coaster (Track) made from Wood

The main cost of the roller coaster mainly depends on the type of material you use.

Most parts of the Backyard Roller Coasters are usually made out of wood or steel.

Structure’s Area and Design:

The cost of the roller coaster increases with the complexity of the track’s design and its length.

Manufacturing, Shipping, Installation Costs:

The backyard roller coaster cost also depends on the manufacturer, as profit margins, labor cost, taxes, shipping cost, and other overhead costs vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

European manufacturers are usually expensive.

That is why Chinese manufacturers are recommended as they are equally reliable and cost significantly less.

How Much Electricity Does A Roller Coaster Use?

The electric consumption depends on many factors, including:
• number of motors used
• number of lifts used to lift the vehicle

Example:

Let’s suppose a roller coaster has a 200 horsepower motor that lifts the roller coaster vehicle. The lift takes 2 minutes to lift the vehicle. Assuming that all other factors remain constant, the amount of energy it would consume would be:
200 x 746 = 149,200 Watts
149200 x 2/60 = 4973 Watts-hour or 5 kilowatt-hours of energy

Answer: The roller coaster requires 5 kilowatt-hours of energy to lift a train to the top of the first hill.

How Long Does It Take To Build A Roller Coaster?

Why Do Roller Coasters Always Start By Going Uphill?

Typically roller coasters don’t have an engine to move the roller coaster train. Therefore, the roller coaster train is lifted first uphill using lifts and then released.
This process helps the train store potential energy, which is then constantly swapping back and forth between kinetic and potential energy.
Consequently enabling the train to move without an engine.

• Helix: This part takes the Banked Turn to the next level. It is a twisted Spiral that turns the track upward or downward on 360 degrees or more.
• Headchoppers: They are a point or parts of the track which are really closer to the passenger’s head or at least appear to do so.

• Launch Track: it serves the same primary purpose as a lift hill but differently. Lift hill gives the train potential energy raising it to the highest point in the track, which is then converted into kinetic energy when the train is released. However, the launch track accelerates the train to the maximum designed speed.

Roller Coaster Work Principle

When the roller-coaster train is lifted to the highest point (lift hill), it gains maximum potential energy. The train is then released on track, which converts the potential energy to kinetic energy that is required by the train to move.

When the train reaches the bottom of the track, it has maximum kinetic energy. And when it moves around the loop, it is the centripetal force provided by the track pushing against the train that keeps the train moving around the loop.

The train loses a considerable amount of energy at the end of the track due to air resistance and friction. Yet, it still requires the braking system to end the ride safely.

The track is carefully designed with loops, hills, spirals, etc., to ensure the right balance between energies without compromising the thrill factor and rider’s safety.
