This article discusses the technology behind building roller coasters. Get this: in the middle of sun-drenched Orlando, Fla. The Walt Disney Co. is erecting a 200-foot-high replica of snow-covered Mount Everest. It's a showcase attraction scheduled to open in 2006 at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park. It's enough to scare the wits out of Don W. Goodman, who has the job of ensuring that the $100 million roller coaster is finished on time -- and on budget. Goodman, president of Disney's Imagineering research lab, compares it to assembling a 3-D puzzle. Disney first used its special 4-D software to build California Screamin', a $50 million roller coaster at Disney's California Adventure theme park in Anaheim, Calif.

And the software has been especially useful in Disney's most vexing project: the reconstruction of the 26-year-old Space Mountain at the original Disneyland in Anaheim. Disney's software also helped plan construction of the stunningly complex Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles. A handful of big contractors are using the software, dubbed Common Point 4D, to sketch out the construction or renovation process for major hospitals, shopping malls and Miami's port.
