Sum of All Thrills is a design-your-own-roller-coaster simulator in which you use a
computer program to specify the drops, curves, and loops of a coaster track before
boarding an industrial robotic arm to experience your creation. Three vehicle options
are available: bobsled, roller coaster, and jet aircraft. In addition to the vehicle, you
select the kinds of turns, loops, and hills in your track design. Choices range from
mild, broad curves to extreme multiple-loop inversions. This customization makes it
easy to ride Sum ofAll Thrills many times without experiencing the same track twice.
Because of its low capacity, you should ride as early in the morning as possible.
