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.

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.

Something tells me that the ride pulls lethal amounts of Gs.

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

Anyone else spend the first 3:05 thinking "I thought I know what the 1812 overture was", and then "OHHHHH I know this part".

Am I the person who feels anxious not because of the turns or heights, but because of the poles and arcs that might hit my head?

If this was real, someone in the back seat probably would have died, due to the cannonballs, burns, limb unattachments, confetti, heights, and heartattacks.
