Have you built your own roller coaster?

I was watching a Disney Parks movie on Netflix and it showed that in Downtown Disney you can go to a computer and make your own coaster and then you get into a simulator and get to ride it! Has anyone done that? What did you think??? I also saw that they turn the Haunted Mansion into Nightmare Before Christmas from Halloween to New Years. Do they still do that? muchlove

I think you may be talking about 'The Sum of All Thrills' and that's located in Epcot. I'm not really a coaster girl so I haven't done it, but I've watched people who have and the simulator is pretty cool. Here's a link to a few pictures of it from the Orlando Sentinel.

That is only at Disneyland in California. I haven't seen it myself either but I hear it's really really fun.

There's been a roller coaster simulator at Downtown Disney's DisneyQuest for as long as we've been going there (2005). Hubby has done it many times. I won't because of the motion sickness problems - no roller coaster I could build AND ride would be worth the time and effort.

Cool, I didn't know that! Is it the same kind of simulator as the one in Epcot?

We did the DTD DisneyQuest one several years ago and it was really fun. I'm probably too old now to make it as extreme as we did back then though - ha!

The one in Disney quest is lots of fun I have heard. My son planned one and took dad. Dad thought how bad can it be it is just a simulator laugh He about puked from it. They say they have to limit you on the program to make it realistic but you can be far more daring on that simulator then any roller coaster out there. He had more loops and turns then any park would ever allow to be built.

I can't answer that - I've never even seen the one at Epcot.

No the one in DTD is a enclosed pod like a gyroscope.

Yeah its called CyberSpace Mountain.... here is what Wiki says...

Quote:
CyberSpace Mountain: Guests design a roller coaster on a design kiosk, then sit in a pitch-and-roll simulator and ride it. Guests may also ride pre-built coasters. It is hosted by Bill Nye the Science Guy, who instead refers to himself as "Bill Nye the Coaster Guy". It is based on the ride, Space Mountain.

Its a lot of fun. But if you love rollercoasters... go for the most extreme possible.
