A real-size simulated drag strip ride is presented which recreates the physical and visual sensations of a drag race. Designs of through silicon plugs with high duty ratios can most effectively provide heat dissipation. The system may also optionally comprise a visualizer module that renders a visual animation that is responsive to at least the rhythm and amplitude of the system’s audio output, not only for entertainment value but also to provide visual feedback for the user. The first feed portion and the second feed portion are electronically connected between the circuit board and the first section. The thin film, the first magnetic layer, andor the second magnetic layer are formed by ablating material from an ECAE target to provide improved layer thickness uniformity relative to corresponding layers formed utilizing non-ECAE targets. The tool feeding speed profile can be programmed, in particular, as a linear, polynomial, or cubic feeding speed profile, the latter being predefinable over a sequence of control blocks as a feeding speed polynomial or a feeding speed spline by interpolation or approximation.
