There are 4 types of gs.
-Positive gs
The feeling at the bottom of a hill
Feels like something is pressing you against your seat
Survivable rate- 1-6-7 gs
-Negative gs
The feeling when you go fast on a small hill
Also called airtime by us coaster enthusiasts
Feels like something is pulling you out of your seat
Survivable rate- 0- -2gs
-Lateral gs
The feeling of going fast on a small turn
Coaster designers try to avoid this as much as possible
Survivable rate- depends how much pain you can take but never over 1.6
-Acceleration gs
The feeling of being launched
Feels like when you accelerate at a traffic light when it turns green
(Awesome Feeling by the way :) )
You can experience this on launch coasters like kingda ka or top thrill dragster
Survivable rate- up to 17
Hope this answers your question!

Why don't you fall down when you are riding on roller coaster?
According to Newton's first law of motion, a body will continue in its state of uniform motion along a straight line when there is no net force acting on it. That means if the roller coaster is under no external forces, it would move in a straight line tangential to the track. However, there should be forces acting on it because its direction of motion changes. Assuming that the mass of the roller coaster is, it is moving at a velocity, and the track is circular with a radius, the centripetal force required would be
Why does a roller coaster with more people in it will travel much faster than an empty car?
A roller-coaster would go faster with more people in it because with moer people the better the ride alsothe people that are ridding will give the roller-coaster potential energy. A roller-coaster would go slower with an empty car will give the roller-coaster kinetic energy than with peolpe in it.
