Why must curved roller coaster tracks on a roller coaster be banked?
Previous Answer => "Because of the law of inertia."
Improved Answer => Well, yes I suppose, but it is not necessary based on that fact.
Since roller coasters have a special three-wheel design that keeps coaster trains on the track NO MATTER WHAT, banking doesn't "keep the ride on the tracks". If anything, banking keeps the coaster safe (in terms of G's) and comfortable to actually be enjoyed versus being painful. A coaster and it's riders will follow the track no matter what, since again of the three-wheel design patented by John Miller in the 1920's AND the restraints on rides that keep people in. It is the G's that concern designers, not if the train will fall off.
What will be the new ride at Alton Towers?
the new ride at Alton towers will be a rollercoaster called thirteen (th13teen).
The ultimate rollercoaster, Thirteen, launches on 20th March 2010.
Thirteen will be based on the discovery of an unearthed ancient burial site in an area of unexplored woodland known as the Dark Forest.
Built on the site of the old Corkscrew rollercoaster, visitors will be invited to take a petrifying ride on Thirteen, adventuring into the living and breathing Dark Forest. There they will face an unknown horror that has been unleashed from the ancient crypt.
The ride has been developed with the world's leading coaster and thrill consultants who have worked to combine the ultimate elements of physical and psychological fear - to create what experts are dubbing a 'psychoaster'.
