Description

Ever wanted to build your own roller coaster? Of course you have! Coaster Creator is a design-based exploration of energy transfer and the concepts of potential and kinetic energy. Step into the role of a roller coaster engineer and design a top-scoring ride that both thrills riders and dissipates all its energy before reaching the end of its track. Customize the look of your coaster and its mass, then construct a custom track complete with death-defying drops and pulse-pounding loops. Coaster Creator is easy to learn but difficult to master!
