In the thrilling world of roller coasters, there are two basic types, each with its own way of getting the adrenaline pumping. Gravity Coasters, which draw their energy from the outside, and Powered or Spike Coasters, where the cars themselves are powered.
Let's compare these two technical masterpieces with a sports car and a stunt plane to better understand their differences and specialties.

The standing figure eight is a ride element that coaster designers have been dreaming about for decades. With Spike ASM technology, this dream is now a reality. The ride figure is a big wow effect, and it is hard to believe that it is rideable possible. Thanks to the latest technology and innovative design, you glide through fascinating loops and twists that give you the feeling of unlimited freedom. 

The smartphone has transformed cell phones into mini-computers that can be used for a wide variety of purposes with more and more additional functions. The decisive factor is the use of software, which makes the device incredibly flexible and versatile.

Roller coasters work with computer hardware like cell phones - what could be the next step in the evolution towards the smart coaster?
