Roller Coaster Game

Roller Coaster Game

Welcome to the death defying Funderstanding Roller Coaster Game!

This simulator is designed for people who want to design their own thrilling coaster and educators who want to use a cool activity to simulate the application of physics by using an exciting interactive tool and access to a wonderful reference source.

It is your mission to become a roller coaster designer so that you can achieve maximum thrills and chills without crashing or flying off the track (unless that’s how you like your coaster to work!).

If you accept this mission you must decide on a number of factors. You are responsible for setting the controls for the height of hill #1, hill #2, the size of the loop, the initial speed of the coaster, its mass, the gravity at work and the amount of friction on the track.

This great educational online tool offers an interactive way for kids to play a roller coaster game, and learn while doing it. Hopefully you’ll enjoy this simulation and it will encourage you to think about how simulations can help you improve the way you teach.

Finally, some fun online education kids!

Due to some great feedback, we have decided to put back the original coaster AND also created a different version of this new coaster which keeps the coaster locked to the track. We hope you enjoy whichever coaster you use!

Step into the future of gaming with the Meta Quest 3 VR Set: your gateway to breathtaking virtual roller coaster rides and beyond.
