What kind of roller coaster is top thrill dragster?

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.

What order should you ride the rides at Kings Island in Mason Ohio?

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!

What type of motion is a roller coaster?

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.

Why do roller coasters have loops and hills?

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.

Why does a traditional roller coaster ride begin by pulling you up a hill?

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.

How do you record in no limits roller coaster?

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.
