Thresher

This was my entry to the 2015 "Thrill Machine" contest. I don't think the entries were ever formally judged and a winner announced but I was really happy with the way my ride turned out.

Contest backstory and rules:

Sea World is in the process of planning a big new theme park project to open in 2018 and during the planning phase, it has become apparent that they are currently lacking a big, high capacity thrill coaster to headline the park.

You have been brought on board to slot a coaster into an area previously earmarked for something else, and so the area has some limitations, such as a monorail. You must submit your proposal for a big new thrill coaster to the board of directors by Midnight (GMT) on October 31st.

Your ride proposal needs to come in on budget and be a throughput machine, with the following guidelines to help you with your design and represent the rules for this contest.

- The station area must be within the Yellow box.
- The ride’s main area will be located at the dead end path (marked with Ride Area). Ideally the queue for the ride should start there.
- Main elements of the coaster should be located around the points of interest marked by the capital letters A, B, C, D.
- Interaction with the monorail while allowing for maximum line of sight to key features of the surrounding area for the monorail passengers is desired.
- The project budget allows for a coaster with lengths between 750m and 1000m, while a length of around 950m has been deemed optimal (all lengths excluding maintenance area).
- The park is eager to see both launched concepts as well as concepts with classic lift hills with a minimum theoretical capacity of 1000pph.
- Coaster track may leave the areas marked with green and yellow colour, as long as the location of all footers stays within these regions.
- Clearance with the surrounding paths (in light grey), buildings (in dark grey) and the monorail structures (in red) has to be followed
- Neighbouring sections of the park are related to sharks (to the south) and rays (to the west), thus either theme should be reflected by the ride.
- The above guidelines are used for judging and must be used as a basis for which to design your ride on.
