What and where is the tallest fastest steepest and longest roller coaster?

I know what the Tallest, Fastest, Steepest, but not longest roller coaster is. I'll just say it anyways, Kingda Ka. This roller coaster does no deserve to be here because all it did was copy off of Cedar Point, (sandusky,Ohio). Six Flags, (New Jersey) just trys to show up Cedar Point and it never works. If i were u i would not invest stocks in six flags and go to Cedar Point. If u want there to be better roller coasters cedar point will build them if they got the money. In my opinion Kingda Ka was only built to beat Cedar Point's Top Thrill Dragster.

these are the current record holders:

Tallest: Kingda Ka (New Jersey) at 456 feet since 2005

Longest: Steel Dragon (Japan) at 8,133 feet since 2000

Fastest: Kingda Ka again at 128mph since 2005

Steepest: the mumbo jumbo (Flamingo Land Resorts, UK) at 112 degrees since July 4, 2009

Why do not the roller coaster cars roll backwards back down the first hill?

When you ascend the first hill of a roller coaster, you will like hear a continuous series of loud "clicking" sounds. This is the result of a device called a "Chain Dog," which is a roll-back safety device, part of which is on the lift hill itself and part of which is on the coaster train.

If you look between the tracks on the lift hill, you will see a strip or two of metal that have a series of raises and dips. On the bottom of each coaster car, there are one-way hinged metal flaps that drag along this strip of raised metal, sliding over the raises and falling into the dips. In the event that the chain fails--or worse, breaks--the one-way hinged metal flaps will fall into the dips, the coaster train will back up very slightly, and the metal flaps will then lock into place in one of these dips. This device is called a "Chain Dog," and it is what prevents a roller coaster from rolling backward down the lift hill.

What does it mean to have achievable goals?

It means that these are goals that you can do and achieve. Some people set goals that are impossible to meet and will never be able to meet. An example would be a person who is a very short person who wants to play pro basketball. The possibility of that happening is very small so this is not a achievable goal. Another example would be a person who is afraid of roller coasters and wants to go into space. Without overcoming that fear that is not an achievable goal. Some students say they want "A's" all year. That could be done, but this too is not an achievable goal for most people or if it is it adds stress. Instead to say that they want good grades is achievable.
