In the summer of 2014, I embarked on a grand adventure: travelling half-way across the world to Shanghai to help build the first ever Disneyland in mainland China — the sixth happiest place on earth.
I spent 22 months on the field, taking the design from concept to implementation. As a Ride Controls Software Engineer, my job was to design and implement the control software for a family-oriented roller coaster, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
The software interfaces with over 1,500 components and uses a variety of strategies to maintain close control of every vehicle in the attraction, ensuring the safety of guests in all circumstances.
