Music Synchronized Roller Coaster (Front Seat POV)

I've synchronized Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture to the full length of a Roller Coaster. The coaster twists and turns with the music, as well as triggering special effects that match the beat. The sound of the cannons are coming from the music, not the roller coaster (Tchaikovsky was a madlad). This was a challenging project because the rides in Planet Coaster do not always run at the same speed. I found that the timing changed based on changes to my CPU load or graphics settings. In total, I spent over 90 hours making this video.

The quality of this video was upscaled from HD to 4k because YouTube grants higher bitrates at this quality. I also think it solves some audio shifting issues.

If you'd like to explore the roller coaster and try it out, I post the map files for my patrons:
Note: The music is not integrated into the map itself, but must be run externally. I used VLC so I could fine tune the speed if there was any lag in the game and I needed the music to slow down or catch up.

"So, how do we change the track?"
"We change the track"
"Ah...."

[Matt-skrc]

I was so concentrated, I didn't even know 4 minutes had passed until it ended

[yannnique]

Imagine how often you have to listen the music to build this

Man: syncs music perfectly with the rollercoaster. Me: Look at the size of that roller coaster i want to ride that

[Benny_Blue]

Everyone talks about how there’s real cannons used in the piece, but no one talks about how it’s meant to be “authentically” played only in either St. Petersburg or Moscow, and feature every single church in the city ringing their bells at the same time on cue.

"Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture looks too intense for me"

*Patrick:* "Is roller coaster an instrument?"
*Squidward:* "No, Patrick. Roller coaster is not an instrument"
*Patrick:*

3:28 yeah that's a good speed to go through that element

[immvtthew]

Soo this is what stickman see riding this crazy sync levels in Line Rider

[p_igaming]

Friend: What instrument do you play?

Me: The rollercoaster

[halfaworldaway]

The ride operator looks so pleased with himself.

[griffon]

could you imagine an actual rollercoaster being 4 minutes and 12 seconds long like i wish

"The sounds of the cannons are actually from the music, not the game"
Wut

Also 90 hours gawd dahumnn

[The_Empty_Shadow]

This is clearly Tchaikovsky's original vision for this piece, to be experienced on a rollercoaster. He was obviously far ahead of his time. Glad you could bring it to fruition.

And that’s on a different level of “feeling the music”

[pashauzan]

4:07 Look at that man smiling like "Epic, right?"

[UnknownLegend]

Imagine how out of sync it would be for those sitting in the back seats

[MadManwithaSpoon]

I would love to actually ride something like this. You could have the music playing in the head rest kind of like the Rock-it Rocket at Universal.

[Seraphinim]

Me, sitting in the back seat of the coaster:

NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY GODDAMN SENSE

disney park administrator: we need something about classic music
the rollercoaster builder: *_say no more fam_*
