Baymax: The Healthcare Companion [Roller Coaster Design]

We present to you, Baymax: The Healthcare Companion – a truly innovative ride based on the 2014 film, Big Hero 6. Baymax: The Healthcare Companion is a "winged roller coaster, which introduces elements that have never-before been seen, and acts as the anchor to a full land, modeled after the fictional city and setting of Big Hero 6, San Fransokyo. Baymax's track layout and no track above or below wing coaster design work in tandem to induce the sensation of flying high above the San Fransokyo Skyline!

This is the on-ride POV for my Undergrad Mechanical Engineering Senior Design Project. A lot of engineering design and analyses went into this project far beyond this on-ride video. I want to point out that this was a group effort, with my partner and I both working extremely hard and this project would have never been as awesome as it came out without the hard work and collaboration we both put in. I hope you all enjoy!
