Roller Coaster Test Meter

Remember playing roller coaster simulations back in the 90's and testing your new coasters to see how intense, exciting, or nausea inducing they were?

By taking the formulas for excitement, intensity, and nausea from these games and using your accelerometer you can now get ratings of real coasters using your phone! Simply turn the app on, hit start, and insert your phone into a safe pocket (secured by a strap or zipper for example) with the screen facing towards your left. After you get off the coaster, hit end and see the rating! Share the rating onto social media. This is a fun toy for roller coaster enthusiasts and amusement park goers everywhere!

This app requires the use of your device's accelerometer in order to measure gravitational forces as you use it. This is the only data this application collects, as it is used to build the vertical and lateral force plots and compute the ride's final score.
