Only for the childhood dream

This year's 19-year-old Yun Yin is a student at the Engineering College of Purdue University in the United States. He is studying the direction of structural engineering. Why he will sail across the ocean for a long time, it must be said from his childhood dream, "Because I want to learn The world's best theme park design for rides, I want to be a roller coaster designer."

Purdue University is an American first class university, an old college of the American University Association, and a founding member of the United States' top ten coalitions. Its engineering college is one of the world's top engineering colleges and one of the five engineering colleges that cultivate the largest number of American engineers. Many of the world's major projects are completed by graduates of this school, and the university’s overall strength ranks in the top 10 in the United States. "Because of my idol, Alan Schilke and Joe Draves, the world's best roller coaster geniuses, graduated from this school," said Yoo.

Crazy obsessed with the "weightlessness" of the roller coaster

In her mother’s eyes, Yin Yin was a very honest and clever boy from childhood. He was very rarely mischievous and made adults feel at ease. To this end, mothers are particularly concerned that a little boy is too honest to be bullied. In the third grade of elementary school, Yin Yin filled the balloon with water and dropped a small garden from the school building. He was told to be called a parent. Instead, his mother was happy and his son finally dared to do bad things.

Perhaps it is in this unconscious "free fall experiment" that Yin Yin has a great interest in the sense of "weightlessness." A roller coaster experience at Pearl Paradise in Zhuhai also made him realize the "weightlessness". "At that time, I was observing an afternoon under the sun and I refused to walk," said my mother. Since then, Yin Hao has been out of control, started her own research, pondering the roller coaster, collecting roller coaster data all over the world, and painting, designing.

In the fifth grade of elementary school, my mother reported to Yin Yin in an English training class. I knew that this inadvertent move opened up a broader window for the son's vision. “Because the latest and most professional roller coaster data are almost all in English, and because the industry is so niche that there are few translation materials in the country, this has become the main driving force for me to learn English well.” The style of the roller coaster designed and manufactured is what kind of style, what elements will increase the weightlessness, what theme parks have new roller coaster rides... These were all concerned by Yin Hao at the time.

15 years old becomes the only Chinese member of the TPR organization in the United States

When she graduated from junior high school, Yin Hao participated in a roller coaster design competition initiated by the United States TPR (American roller coaster fan club, the world's most authoritative industry organization) through the Internet. He was only 15 years old and his small chopper had handed in a height of 77. Mi, a roller coaster design with 15 weightless experiences, his sincerity and creativity have been recognized by the TPR in the United States.

“Then I received their e-mail and invited me to participate in the experience tour organized by the American roller coaster fan club.” To feel and witness the innovation and technological level of the American roller coaster, Yin Yin was particularly shocked and eye-opening. "Two buses at that time had roller coasters from all over the world. They spent 15 days in the middle of the United States and experienced rollercoaster rides on various theme parks along the way. They then wrote reviews objectively and made recommendations on websites and magazines. ”

At the time, Yin Xuan was the first and only Chinese person in the organization and was the only one at the moment. In the second year, as a member, Yin Hao followed the American TPR to Japan to experience various roller coasters. Today, he is also a representative of the Chinese roller coaster fan club in South China. He also opened a player column in the magazine “Amusement World” and published professional articles on roller coasters.

Work hard on your own goals

To understand what he wanted most, Yin Hao began to work toward his goal. From the first year of high school, Yin Hao participated in the TOEFL test, and then collected information on studying abroad for himself and asked related matters for an intermediary agency. "I almost got himself. I was mainly a driver," Mom said.

In the second grade of senior high school, Yin Hao’s idea was supported and encouraged by the school. In Desheng School in Shunde, Yin Hao held a small personal exhibition of roller coaster design works, and more than 20 works were also exhibited in Guangdong Industrial Design Exhibition. He greatly encouraged his design dream.

The selection of Purdue University in the United States is also quite rooted. In the past year, Yin Xuan has been accepted by many famous foreign universities, including the University of California, San Diego, and other top 30 universities in the United States. But in the end, Yin Yin chose his favorite school. “Because Purdue University’s School of Engineering is an authority in the theme park design field, the world's famous theme park design masters and roller coaster design masters are all going out here.”

In his eyes roller coaster fun is endless

From an outsider's point of view, the rollercoaster's thrilling and shocking thrills have fascinated many people. In fact, the movement of the roller coaster involves many physics principles. “People are cleverly applying these principles when designing a roller coaster. If you can experience first-hand the effects of energy conservation, acceleration, and force intertwined, it’s a wonderful feeling,” said Yoo.

Yin Hao said that the front view of the roller coaster is open, the sense of weight loss is the strongest in the rear row, and the stress in the middle is the smallest. The wooden roller coaster shakes and swings with a strong sense of rhythm; the steel roller coaster is more thrilling in terms of turnover and speed... “The fun is endless, and each experience has different feelings.” Yin Hao said.

According to its introduction, the "Kingda Ka" of the Six Flags Adventure Park in New Jersey has a maximum speed of 206 km/h and a maximum height of 139.5 meters. It is the world's fastest and highest roller coaster and is known as the king of roller coasters. The roller coaster accelerated from zero to 206 kilometers per hour. After reaching the top point of 139.5 meters, it slammed into the height of the 41-story building. There was also a 270-degree turn, which was very exciting.

"Design is not the most difficult, the core and the biggest challenge is the manufacturing process." Yin Hao said that as a designer, it is necessary to scientifically and rigorously use computer programs to calculate the speed and gravity of the roller coaster passing through each corner, making it almost impossible. The factors become a reality.

For individuals, Yin Hao prefers a wooden roller coaster. “At present, the oldest roller coaster in the United States was built in 1902 and is still in use. Steel can cause metal fatigue and can last up to 50 years. Wood can be used for a long time by replacing materials.”

To support the grandson of the grandson of 78 years old to ride a roller coaster

Referring to the impetus of persistence, Yin Xiao played a joke: “Maybe it is my hobbies that are too few, so I just rushed into my mind.” In fact, his family has been very supportive of his special interest. The idea of ​​supporting children is different from that of everyone: This is the philosophy of Yin Hao's family education.

Yoon Yeo’s parents are all working in the music field. My mother also tried Yin Yun to learn piano and learn music. "In junior high school, it was still the top ten school singers in the school. But he was not interested. I can only give up."

In order to show his support, on the 18th birthday of Yin Hao, the parents, grandparents and grandparents together took a roller coaster ride with Hong Kong Disney. This is also the 78-year-old grandfather who took the roller coaster for the first time. "I didn't expect Grandpa and Grandma to be particularly happy. My grandmother lined up again and again, this time being my happiest and most memorable experience."

Since this time, Yin Hao's design style has undergone major changes. Yin Hao no longer deliberately pursues how high the design, how fast the speed, but will pursue more elements of innovation and family. “The playground itself is a place for making memories. The roller coaster is a wonderful experience. In addition to pursuing the perfect function, the more important element is to be able to impress people, convey feelings, recall memories, and give surprises.”

The dream of a cow is also inseparable from the most bitter

So far, he has tried 330 domestic and foreign roller coasters, designed 240 works. Yin Hao who enters the university is more like a fish, learning and communicating with more types of masters, and the professional level is continuously improving. He also used the holidays to revisit the experience of his first trip to the country in the third year of his life.

Recently, he and his two other classmates participated in the world-wide collection of design competition "Give you 22 million to let you design a theme park new area" held in the United States. You won the second place and got closer to your dreams. step.

There are many people who like to play roller coasters, but few people are on the professional path. In Yin Yin’s body we saw the “magic power” that persisted. Perhaps not every dream can be realized, but every person who adheres to the dream is worthy of respect. (http://)
