Even though someone has already answered me.The person said Santiago Calatrava didn't build any roller coasters but in a magizine it said he built a roller coaster but it didn't say which. I would like to know which roller coasters he built or helped build. Thanks

Santiago Calatrava - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santiago_Calatrava#References_and_notes)

It shows everything he built, I don't see any rollercoasters on the list

In this site: Santiago Calatrava: The Unofficial Site (http://www.calatrava.info/) it shows pictures of his works and a roller coaster is not in there. You can check his future projects, but it does not show a roller coaster there either. From this site: Santiago Calatrava - Google Image Search (http://images.google.com/images?q=Santiago+Calatrava&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&um=1&sa=X&oi=images&ct=title)
You can see all the projects he has worked on.

Now there is a hotel that he was going to do, that had some simliarities to a roller coaster:
Spanish Architect Santiago Calatrava's Proposed $500 million Hotel and Condominium Skyscraper, Called the Fordham Spire, a Hot Topic Among Architects / August 2005 (http://www.hotel-online.com/News/PR2005_3rd/Aug05_SpiralHotel.html)

You must be trying to answer the same quiz that I am.
I wonder if he built the wind breaks but not the roller coaster.
