5.0 out of 5 stars the best way to learn about roller coasters., 23 Jul 2001
This book is one of the best ways that anyone can have to help them start to design a roller coaster. When I bought this book I designed 4 roller coasters but most of the drawing are rubbish. Anyway back to the book. When you first start to read it all of the equations can get a bit to much, but if you try them out you will soon get the hang of it. All in all it is a brill book for all those budding designers out there.
