Thrill Score Explorer
The thrill score, taken apart.
Achtbaan turns four published stats into a single transparent 0 to 100 number. Pick any roller coaster below and watch the score break apart, live, into its weighted parts: speed, height, length and inversions, computed by the exact same formula the whole site uses.

The breakdown updates instantly and is computed from real published stats, never a hard-coded number.
How the score works
The thrill score is deliberately simple and public. Each of a coaster's four core stats is divided by a reference maximum (the record-setting value for that stat), capped at 100%, then multiplied by a fixed weight. Add the four weighted results together and you get one 0 to 100 score, so any two rides can be compared head-to-head. Speed carries the most weight because it scales the force of everything else; length the least.
The weights & reference maxes
These figures are rendered straight from the site's thrill.js constants, so this explainer can never drift from the numbers the score actually uses. Read the fuller methodology on the About & methodology page.
