Euthanasia Coaster
The Euthanasia Coaster is an art concept for a steel roller coaster designed to kill its passengers. In 2010, it was designed and made into a scale model by Julijonas Urbonas, a PhD candidate at the Royal College of Art in London. Urbonas, who has worked at an amusement park, stated that the goal of his concept roller coaster is to take lives "with elegance and euphoria". As for practical applications of his design, Urbonas mentioned "euthanasia" or "execution".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Euthanasia Coaster )〕 John Allen, who served as president of the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, inspired Urbonas with his description of the "ultimate" roller coaster as one that "sends out 24 people and they all come back dead".
==Design==
The concept design of the layout begins with a steep-angled lift to the (0.317 mile) top, which would take two minutes for the 24-passenger train to reach.〔 From there, a drop would take the train to , close to its terminal velocity, before flattening out and speeding into the first of its seven slightly clothoid inversions.〔 Each inversion would have a smaller diameter than the one before in order to maintain the lethal 10 g to passengers while the train loses speed. After a sharp right-hand turn the train would enter a straight, where unloading of corpses and loading of new passengers could take place.〔
The coaster design is drastically high. Its 510 m height would be enough to place it 10th in the list of tallest structures ever constructed, ahead of even the Petronas Towers.〔Burj Khalifa, Tokyo Skytree, Warsaw Radio Mast, Shanghai Tower, KVLY-TV mast, Abraj Al Bait Towers, Canton Tower, CN Tower, Ostankino Tower.
