b"Joining Jonathan on Futureprooof this week was Kory Kiepert - Engineer & Partner at The Gravity Group. Kory is a rollercoaster engineer who designs rollercoasters. Kory in fact, got married on a rollercoaster. So what does Kory actually do as a rollercoaster engineer? He will do some of the structural engineering and the mechanical engineering for the ride. Usually an amusement park will come to him and show him the plot of land they have chosen for the ride, what the budget is, what kind of ride it will be? He incorporates some of the features of the land or to have the ride interact with other rides or buildings in the park. The process is driven by much the same codes that are in place for the design of any building. His job is to give you the illusion that it\\u2019s daring and adventurous but at the same time it\\u2019s very controlled. That\\u2019s at the heart of what he does.\\nListen and subscribe to\\xa0Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea\\xa0on\\xa0Apple Podcasts\\xa0and\\xa0Spotify.\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\nDownload, listen and subscribe on the Newstalk App.\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\nYou can also listen to Newstalk live on\\xa0newstalk.com\\xa0or on Alexa, by\\xa0adding the Newstalk skill\\xa0and asking: 'Alexa, play Newstalk'."
