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!

The slope of a roller coaster describes how steep the roller coaster is. Knowing the angle of the slope will tell you how steep a roller coaster is.
Intimidator- a 232 foot tall rollor coaster, located at carowinds.
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.
Not quite sure what you mean by "what type" but IntaminAG (the builder) calls these types of coasters "Accelerator Coasters".
It is not a roller coaster- it is a flat ride- as are real dragsters. the dragsters run on a track and it is believed to be connected to something like the feed rod- threaded in a worm pattern and under power- of a lather. thus, the cars cannot get out of control Such a lengthy feed-rod would make for an expensive ride to engineer and concievably maintain, they are not a very common ride. I have never seen them.
It depends on weather you're afraid of roller coasters or not.
If you are a fearless rider: Because of the lines, you might want to run to the coasters in this order:
Diamondback, Firehawk, Crypt, Vortex, Racer, Flight of Fear, Backlot Stunt Coaster, Beast, and then any other you can think of in any order, but try to go to the ones with the longest lines first. Diamondback and Firehawk first because they'll supply you with the adrenaline needed to get through to the others quickly.
If you're buliding your courage up to ride then i suggest you ride them like this:
1. Flying Ace, to build up your courage for height,
2. Backlot Stunt Coaster for speed (this coaster rockets off very quickly)
3. The Racer, it's a fast ride full of hills, basically a big version of the kiddie ride Beastie (I have no clue what it's currently called, but it was originally Beastie) and a small, wooden version of the Diamondback.
4. Beast. It's tall, wooden, and fast.
5. Now you should make a point of improvising on the remaining coasters, depending on your area of weakness, be it height, speed, turns or otherwise.
Happy Riding!
Cedar Fair's Kings Island is not owned by me nor do I claim it to be so.
Roller coasters are variable motion. Something that has variable motion when they have different distances and speeds in an equal period of time. Going uphill, roller coasters are sort of slow but going downhill, the roller coaster starts to accelerate. The roller coaster takes the same track every time and only goes through it once so, it has equal time periods. By traveling at 2 different speeds during equal time periods, you have variable motion.
A roller coaster uses energy stored in the height of the cars. as the car falls lower, it picks up speed, as it gets higher, the speed falls away. With each loop and ramp, a little of the energy is lost due to friction and so the car will never be able to get back up to its original height. Therefore, the loops of the roller coaster will be built to be progressively lower throughout the ride, allowing the car to climb to the top of each ramp and still have enough kinetic energy to make it to the next downward slope.
So they can have momentum for the rest of the ride. If there was no big hill, then you would constantly have to be pulled by the chains, and that's no fun. But if there is a big hill at the start of the ride, then you go down, down, down, and have enough of that speed/momentum that will keep you gliding along.
It could, they just make you get off so people behind you can get on.
Roller Coasters are amusement rides developed for amusement parks and theme parks. However the question is a little vague as it gives no guidelines as to how to measure the biggest. Is the biggest, the longest, one with the biggest incline or the tallest? The tallest and longest is Kingha Ka in Six Flags Adventure park (USA) so this one probably wins.
just like on the winter your nose dries out and the skin breaks some people with srever cases get it cauterized
If you want to use the NoLimits recorder then just press zero (0) to start the video, and then press it again to stop the video. But be careful because if you don't have a very fast computer, it will make the frame rate go VERY slow, and make the coaster go very slow as well.
If this doesn't work try hypercam or fraps to record the video.
There are currently 15 rides at Disney California Adventure, although there are many attractions (such as live shows, films, and tours) which do not qualify as rides.
I think the longest rollercoaster is 1 mile , 951 yards. Well, according to The Yardstick Original Bubblegum.
