No way!
Roller coasters often have loops and turns that make their final displacement different than their final distance. But, if the roller-coaster is a loop, the displacement will obviously be 0. If the displacement is not 0, it is measured in meters.
Wood does bend to form the loop. One wooden coaster used to they used steel for the loop. ^ that answer is really terrible and doesn't make sense....-.- they asked about INVERSIONS not one loop. there is a big difference between some simple loop and an inversion.
you need to go up a few feet in elevation (about +5) and click the loop button, left or right, and Wallah!! your loop
Loop-the-Loop - roller coster - was created in 1901.
Modern roller coasters are quite safe; they have many checks and are monitored often to ensure they remain safe. However, ride accidents do occur. People who aren't riding can be hit by the coaster if they enter the coaster area. As well, people who are too small can fall out of the ride if they aren't secured safely.
Clothoid Loop A vertical loop that is teardrop shaped Roller coasters today employ clothoid loops rather than the circular loops of earlier roller coasters. This is because circular loops require greater entry speeds to complete the loop. The greater entry speeds subject passengers to greater centripetal acceleration through the lower half of the loop, therefore greater G's. If the radius is reduced at the top of the loop, the centripetal acceleration is increased sufficiently to keep the passengers and the train from slowing too much as they move through the loop. A large radius is kept through the bottom half of the loop, thereby reducing the centripetal acceleration and the G's acting on the passengers.
The Mind Bender is the least intense of all the looping coasters at Six Flags Over GA, so that would probably be best for your first loop.
I like rolor coasters that loop
A teardrop loop helps equally distribute the forces around the loop, as you end up slowing down as you crest, so it will get tighter as it goes up. In a circular loop, there is A: Ejector airtime at the top and B: Increased, and possible dangerous, G-Forces at the bottom of the loop.
Doing anything burns calories, and if you like riding roller coasters, then knock yourself out sunshine. Just don't eat anything. However, a good way to lose weight, incorporating your love of roller coasters, is to disable the engine and attach the roller coaster to some high tensile rope and tie that rope around you waist, or better yet, your neck. Then try, keeping in mind it would take a lot of practice to do the whole track, to just take the first loop the loop. Make sure you have some good grip on your running shoes though, because there is a point in the loop whre you would be upside down, and gravity would be working against you.
At Universal Studios no roller coasters go up side down. But at Universal's Islands Of Adventure the roller coaster that go upside down are: The Incredible Hulk Roller Coaster and Dragon Challenge (both sides). The Incredible Hulk Roller Coaster has a Zero-G roll, a Cobra Roll, a Vertical Loop, a Corckscrew, a smaller Vertical Loop, and another Corckscrew. On the Chinese Fireball at Dragon Challenge it has 2 Immelmanns, a Vertical Loop, and two Corckscrews. On the Hungarian Horntail is has a Zero-G roll, a Cobra Roll, a Vertical Loop, and a Corckscrew.
