RollerCoasters

A place to talk about roller coasters and parks that have them. Everyone is welcome here to both learn and to celebrate these magnificent machines designed to scare you.

Here are some important resources:

  1. RCDB
  2. Thrill Data
  3. Coast2Coaster
  4. Terminology and Abbreviations

Images are welcome if they are of high quality and it doesn't get out of hand. Please use PostImages to upload your image and then use that link in the URL field of your post (other image sites are permitted but Post Images has the best policies and compatibility).

Some basic rules:

  1. Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.

  2. Back up facts with sources as much as possible

  3. No spam or sell-promotion. Linking to your own media or site is permissible only if it’s specifically related to a topic/post that someone else created.

  4. No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn't be encouraged.

  5. Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.

  6. No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)

  7. No posting personal information.

  8. No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

Thought you guys might find this video interesting. The rest of this channel is great as well, I really like the style of his coaster review videos.

I tense up when I see links to coaster YouTubers but I have to admit that was actually pretty good 😂

I think one of the biggest problems right now is defining what AI is. Reality is that AI has been being used to design coasters for years.... It's part of the CAD ecosystem -- but it's a semantics thing. By extension, I think that definition of AI is what's missing in the video. The current "mainstream AI" is LLM (large language model) which is predictive text on your keyboard cranked up to an insane level..... The coaster that he designed with AI assistance makes perfect sense if you look at coaster elements as words. AI isn't really designing the coaster, it's giving you the order of words but a human is still required to put the accent and tone on the sentence.
