What's a Rollercoaster Engineer?
How high should a roller coaster go? How strong should the safety bar be? How much water makes a waterslide slippery? Have you ever wondered who designs and builds the roller coasters, water slides, carousels, and other rides at amusement parks?
Rollercoaster engineers also known as amusement park designers take an idea for a ride and figure out how to turn that idea into reality, making it exciting yet safe. These designers usually major in engineering in college, be it mechanical, civil, industrial, or electrical and computer engineering.
