Shape and structure

Blackpool:Roller coasters
 On all Roller coasters the structure of the ride is the most important thing and dictates whether the ride is extreme or not.
The curvy structures of the dips and loops (from a visual point of view) look amazing and really show the iconic feel of a roller coaster.

The way in which the metal curves are suspended in the air are visually inspiring.

The tracks curve and flow from one dip to another showing a streamlined shape. I like how to roller coasters look with the dips and how each one looks as if they are weaving in and out of each other. 

The rustic wooden tracks have a lovely curve parallel to each other. The chunky shape of the tracks gives the feeling of safety. The weathered red metal in contrast with the wood creates a retro feel.

The curves on this ride look flowing and smooth. It's quite a change from roller coasters we have now and probably were just made from wood with limited colour.
