I have to extend a major thank you to my fellow nerds who watch my videos! There are a few things I would like to note regarding this video: - My math is off in the G-Force/Radius calculations. I forgot to account for the normal force 😬 The radiuses to achieve the G-Forces I discussed are still massive tho! - I say exponential growth but the correct term is quadratic growth! Thank you for the feedback everyone. This will all help lead to better videos in the future

Nice. Normal force is the force that the coaster pushes on you which is G force. On the ground you feel one G, Because Fn=Fg. If you are falling or getting floater there is no Normal, IE Zero gs. If you are doing a crazy inversion you have to accelerate towards the middle of the circle which is one of the reasons why you feel the largest force at the bottom. Fn has to be way bigger than Fg to accelerate upwards. 🤙

I think people are underestimating the size of the rollercoaster. Those airtime hills some enthousiasts said to be forceless could be 30 to even 40 meters high. This rollercoaster will be an absolute mammoth. Those support beams will be the width of a train, maybe even thicker.

Nope. If the hill is designed to produce zero-g then the coaster's force on them will be zero if the ride is operating as designed. The worst-case is the coaster STOPPED on the hill, where the force will be simply the weight of the coaster & riders if it stops top center. The worst load will be the weight of the structure itself, so it will need to be thick at the bottom (where there also positive g-loads). The presented appearance of the structure shows this: massive at the bottom, widely-spaced supports at the top.

Putting aside the crazy top speed and the shit your pants height, let’s talk about that length. Not only is it gonna beat the previous world record by a significant amount, it also competes with some of the longest mountain coasters in the world, that’s insane. It doesn’t matter if it’s 13,000ft or 14,000ft, it’s an insane length that would’ve been unimaginable even a year ago.

The block timing analysis/speculation at the end of the video, with the triple-cut example showing, is genuinely incredible. Well done. I had a lot of those same situations when building the ride and letting it run; where in basically any operational hiccup, it causes a crazy traffic jam of stacking. I think the aggressive setup you described checks out in terms of getting the best throughput, but seems to be a bit of a timing gamble between the abort point of launch 3, and the next train on the FBR. Either way, great vid & analysis as always!

Actually, in most countries, manufacturers are obliged to follow standards like the ASTM, since these are adopted in local legislation. The precise standard is dependent on the country: ASTM F2291 in the US, EN13814 in Europe or GB8408 in China for example. Although I'm not sure which standard is used in Saudi-Arabia, most standards are very similar. Therefore, the assumption that Intamin follows ASTM's G-force limitations, is very reasonable.

My main concern with this ride is with the maintenance people that have to check this ride for safety every day. Walking ~6 miles roundtrip and scaling a cliff surface every morning, to check to make sure that the track and supports are in good shape? The maintenance team for this ride would be excessive and split into several areas. Coasters of a "regular" size already have a lengthy daily maintenance routine, and with this project, that time easily doubles due to the length and scale of this ride. Plus the additional drive up the cliff to check the track and supports up there (although, that section of track does experience less stress, so maybe that's not as much of a concern). Not to mention, the mechanics need climbing gear in their toolbox to check the support integrity on the cliff face and make sure the water-cooling system for the LSMs (which is new tech that is crucial to proper operations, so definitely should be looked at regularly) is up to shape. It's not like they can avoid this maintenance either, with the conditions and forces this ride is enduring. If they weren't checking the integrity of a 150+ MPH, 600+ ft tall, 13,000+ ft long ride on a daily basis, and then invited the public? Yikes. I'm going to hope that, if this ride does reach the operations stage, FF is only open on special occasions due to the intense maintenance routine, but that would mean that SFQ just burned hundreds of millions of dollars for very little return. Good payday for Intamin at least, lol. Maybe their tourism board is willing to spend huge amounts of money to pay a team that big daily... or worse, maybe they're not, but they still run the ride anyway. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for innovation and love seeing Intamin take on challenges and knock them out of the park, but I hope this project fails in the long run. It's more excessive than innovative, and still has many unknowns regarding SF Qiddiya's operations that have not been addressed (i mean, they haven't even built the rest of the park yet!). I'm not holding my breath on this project.

@@ken97531 Drones are a possibility, but it'll still take a long time to check track integrity since you have to inspect 13,000+ ft of track. Plus, drones are limited to a maximum height of 400 feet according to various international laws, so unless SFQ gets a special exemption, maintenance crews will still have to climb up the cliff face and the 600 ft hill for inspections. Say they do get the drone height limit exemption, though. The park would have to get multiple drone operators to have any sore of reasonable timeframe, since you'll have to account for the drone's battery life, both in flying and transmitting high quality footage to the operator to check for cracks or defects. I don't know too much about how Carrowinds pulls off their drone inspections, but if they can pull it off, then it only becomes an issue of magnitude for FF, and a very serious order of magnitude at that. EDIT: Saudi Arabia has very heavy regulation on drone use, and they limit drone height to 150 meters, which is higher than the standard limit, but still not high enough.

It's a tough thought that we could spend tons of money, navigate a very different culture, only to find the coaster closed during our visit for maintenance issues. We don't want it to be very good, in order to make it alright that we won't be riding it. Even though I've had those thoughts, I do think it will be an incredible ride.

Amazing video, and it's great to see a realistic look into a coaster that until a month ago I (and probably most of us) had assumed was just going to disappear like they all do. It really makes it feel real when you start getting into the block zones and such. Also, the word you're looking for is not exponentially, it's quadratically. Exponentially would be like if elements had to get 2x as large for every +10 miles per hour, which is very fortunately not the case because you could get to continent-sized coasters before you even get as big as Falcon's Flight.

I honestly don´t think that hourly capacity will be much of an issue even if it ends up being closer to 630 Riders / Hour. I somewhat doubt that this Park will draw in the amount of people and crowds they are hoping for and I expect that a good amount of people that do end up visiting the Park will be scared away from ever riding Falcon´s Flight when they see the size of it´s Camel Back and the Speed it´s going to blast through the the ending section.

You do good research. After this is operational they will have to schedule special ERT with an included self-rescue. Coaster nerds will demand it.

21:40 I personally will called those double final brake block setup as "Giga brake run" since B&M is the first one to utilize it on their coaster (ironically because your's other video too) I always put those thing on my NL2 project because I can push more tighter dispatch time without worrying about being set-up. But I do wonder how much cost to implement those extra block assuming there's enough space for it, and why no more coaster utilize that today

There is something that saves the quadratic growth of curve radius w/ respect to velocity. And that is that the velocity grows as the square root of drop height. This means the curve radius scales linearly with drop height. Similarly for launch segments, if you have a constant acceleration launch segment the velocity grows as the square root of the length of the launch segment. This may be optimistic though, as a constant acceleration launch segments would have increasing power throughout the launch as the coaster goes faster and faster. To prevent having a ridiculous peak power requirement, it might be good to allow the acceleration to drop as the coaster goes faster. For constant acceleration launch tracks, the radius of the curves would grow proportional to the launch track length. And for constant power launch tracks or launch tracks that reduce acceleration to limit power, the curve radius would actually grow SLOWER than the launch track length (i.e. the launch track length would actually grow faster than the radius of the curves as the coaster is scaled to higher speeds). For constant power launches, the launch track length would scale as an insane v^3 if my math is correct, whereas the curve radius would scale as v^2 like you said. Since the coaster design directly controls the track, not the velocity (the velocity is only indirectly determined by the track layout), from a track design perspective that means your launch track lengths scale as (curve radius)^(3/2) as your make everything bigger, assuming limited launch power.

You can still achieve the larger Gs for the ASTM recommendations by varying the radi throughout the curve.

They could possibly add a break zone at the top of the big air time hill that could, if needed, stop and a hold a train just after the apex. It would probably take the help of the LSMs to set the speed right so it crests the apex going slower. So the block would start at the beginning of the drop's LSMs, instead of back at the top of the cliff. Then stopping a train here wouldn't cause a valley, but just leave the train on top of the hill and it could easily finish the rest track from there despite rolling from dead stop.

Hey Ryan! Big fan and Physics teacher here. I think your math is off. Figures my first comment would be about physics. My understanding of G force or the force you feel is given by the normal force not the acceleration. Obviously they are related but in your calculations you do not account for the force of gravity on earth. For your calculations for the radius with -.5g I got 134m not 402m. Still big. F=ma. Fn-fg=-mv^2/r. -.5mg-mg=-mv^2/r. Solve. Thanks for the great videos!!!
