It is true that the centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle but in addition to the centripetal force there is another force called

centrifugal force which is reaction force. The centrifugal force is directed opposite to the centripetal force, i.e.,outward. It is due to this force that we never fall down even when we are upside down.

Technically, you are under the same downward acceleration at all times. When you are thrust up by the ride, it takes some time for the downward acceleration to stop the upward movement. That "some time" is your free upside-down ride.

Why dont you fall from roller coaster ride when we are upside down?

That is because the roller coaster is designed to accelerate you with enough force to experience more than 1G acceleration. When upside down you are being pulled down with 1G but up with more than 1G so net force is up, not down. Some rides give you 2-3 G up force.
