Enthusiast checking in. It is a nice explanation. Something I haven't seen on the internet yet [outside of some posts about the NoLimits editor years ago] is the physics going into some of the newer elements used by Intamin, S&S, and the like.
Well, there's been a lot of work done figuring out those elements with FVD and Newton 2, as most Intamin rides are engineered based around the forces. There's a tutorial somewhere on how to create the first-drop-turn like on Skyrush and Intamin Mega-Lites, while maintaining no lats. This article just touches on the subject of rollercoaster engineering.
