The Latest Concept in Thrill Rides:
The Cantilevered Roller Coaster System
|
|
|
Here’s our first animated sequence and inspired by the San Francisco car chase from the 1968 Warner Bros. film “Bullitt” starring Steve McQueen, and a Shelby-Ford Mustang…

Bullitt was one of the all-time great car chase films. What if the film was the basis for a themed attraction using a late model Ford Mustang and the CRC system? Wouldn’t that be cool? That’s what we thought, so above are some animated sequences to show what it might be like. (Kids: the computer models and animated sequences were produced by CCS and Haro Digital using Autodesk software products)
The mechanical concept for this Cantilevered Roller Coaster (CRC) attraction uses a “side-saddle” track configuration utilizing two rail sets of fairly common manufacture. The lower set is primarily centered on ride vehicle path, while the upper set is offset to one side of the vehicle support arm. For more about the mechanical principles of the CRC click here.
Are you a park owner with a CRC concept and that you would like to see conceptually developed, computer modeled, and perhaps one day constructed? Our design team can illustrate and animate anything you can think of. Please contact us at info@cantileveredcoaster.com to start the ball rolling, and/or for more technical information about the CRC system.

Strategic Partners Wanted. Hey, Ride Industry! We Dare you to “Get Cantilevered”!
|
|
|
Park owners, are you tired of the same old coaster and flat-ride systems that everyone else has? Tired of being stuck to a rail system all the time? Then its time to “Get Cantilevered!” Cantilevered Coaster Systems is looking for strategic partners to help launch the CRC, including park owners and manufacturers. We feel that the ride industry has produced little if anything truly interesting lately, so we figure that its time to shake things up. Our preliminary engineering analysis is in the pipeline; we just need some help getting the CRC system on the market.
Development of the CRC system not only promises to some exciting coaster possibilities, but also the potential for a multi-faceted ride system that can be used in both high and slow-speed attractions. Coasters to dark rides, used in highly themed environments or as basic “iron rides”, the CRC system has the potential to revolutionize the ride system market
