The Athletic Rollercoaster is an innovative amusement ride that fuses the challenge of rock climbing with the thrill of rollercoaster entertainment. Its compact in-pipe system ensures safe traction and grip, allowing riders to navigate tracks in multiple directions using their own physical effort and gravity-assisted motion. The design integrates structural engineering, additive manufacturing, and precision machining to create a scalable, durable, and one-of-a-kind experience tailored for theme parks and entertainment venues.
The “cart” for the rollercoaster is held by the rider, one in each hand and one attached to each foot.
The cart body is fabricated from 3D-printed PEEK, a high performance thermoplastic.
Internal springs provide flexibility for smooth turns and support continuous traction via bearings.

The lightweight cart body fits inside the track, with a safety harness above providing additional safety for the rider.
One-directional bearings lock in reverse, preventing the rider from going backwards on the track.
