Motivation: In this paper, I examined the dynamics that underlie modern-day rollercoasters, especially jump discontinuities in normal forces and thus normal accelerations that arise and affect the experience of the riders. Then, I used these typical trends to propose a general guideline on developing the space curves, i.e tracks, for curves in other to maximize the rider’s comfort (while trying to keep the experience interesting). This mostly involved desired radii of curvature, tangential and normal accelerations, and other quantities that can contribute to jump discontinuities.
