Why can I not use Rollercoaster Race at [park]?
Adding a park to the app
takes a long time as I
have to go on each ride multiple times to collect data, then
test that the app works. This means that not all the parks in the UK are supported. If
you want to help
add it to the app then please contact us!
Why is [ride] not on the app?
The only rides that are included in Rollercoaster Race
are outdoor thrill rides and rollercoasters. If a ride is
inside (e.g. X at Thorpe Park) I may not have included it
as the phone would struggle to get GPS signal. I also prioritized
rollercoatsers over flat rides, because rollercoasters are
easier to identify. This may mean that rollercoasters
work better than flat rides.
Some rides may have been added to the
park after the ride data was collected (e.g. The Smiler
at Alton Towers). Therefore these rides may not be
included in the app, however
I am working to add them ASAP. If you would like to help
add them to the app, then please contact us
Why did the app not work on [ride]?
A ride may not be identified for many reasons, for example-
if the ride was running unusually slow/fast, the G forces
may be different to what the app was expecting. Another
reason for the app not finding the ride could be the accuracy
of the GPS device in your phone.
If a ride has not been
identified properly, or the app has said that you are on
a different ride, please contact us
to help us improve the app in the future!
Are you going to make the app for iOS/other OS?
Unfortunately, Rollercoaster Race is only available on
Android for the moment. I may look into developing the app
for other device operating systems in the future depending
on how much interest there is for it-so if you want the
app on your OS, request it on
Facebook or Twitter!
