Kid Of Steel:

Experience as a mechanic on coasters might be a help. I know of an engineering student who is a mechanic at CP now, but the most important thing is going to be the experience that you get after you graduate.

mechanical engineering is the way to go. University of Michigan is a great school for mech eng. I hope to go there, but you have to get good grades to get in their engineering school (3. 8 & UP!) I have always wanted to be a mech eng. I am very good at geometry but am doing a lot worse than i usually do in math with algebra.

Roller coaster engineering isnt like no limits, it's a lot of formulas. It seems very boring, just sitting around and doing formulas, but the satisfaction of seeing your vision thrill people. Just wanted to help

Who actually designs the layouts and track? Does that lend towards a more computer oriented degree? Thanks :)

mechanical engineers actually design the layout, and machines make the track, which are probably just controlled by plant workers.

Who are some examples of these mechanical engineers? People like John Wardley and the B&M guys?
