### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this book is great
*by S***I on April 2, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Christmas Gift
*by K***S on December 27, 2024*

Got this for our nephew (10 y.o) who lives out of state as he’s shown an interest in roller coasters. He LOVES it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gave me more reasons to appreciate roller coasters
*by J***S on July 5, 2015*

Personally I don't particularly enjoy roller coasters, but my 11-year-old son decided to take a class that introduces him to physics by studying how to design roller coasters. So I bought this book to help him get ready for the class. Then I started reading it and discovered ... designing coasters has a lot of complexities I had not previously appreciated. So I quickly got drawn into the book and finished it. It's not a long read, but it does the trick to explain why coaster engineering could be a great job. The book will make me enjoy attending theme parks more in the future (that is, when I succumb to family pressure and attend them despite my preference to spend my vacation in other ways). The book could be improved by adding more depth to the sections that briefly list non-traditional-engineering aspects of designing, building, and operating coasters, such as the management and economics of the theme park, psychology of what makes different kinds of movements more or less exciting, set and lighting design, or advances in technology that could make future coasters a hybrid of physical engineering and interactive computer-controlled multi-media. The book is at the edge of what a quantitatively-oriented middle-school kid would appreciate; you can get a lot out of the book without being able to fully follow the math equations that show up occasionally in the text.
