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.
Where is the fastest roller coaster in America located?
located in six flags great adventure in Jackson, New Jersey
How do you make custom cars or trains on no limits roller coasters?
Sadly, it is hard. You could pay the NL team ALOT of money. Although, somebody is trying to create a ctr (custom tracked ride) for NoLimits.
Where can you rent a roller coaster?
well you cant really rent a roller coaster. in fact you cant even rent a roller coaster because you have to have more money than the richest people on earth. which i have no idea who the richest people on earth is anyway.
It goes from 0 mph to 80 mph in 1.8 seconds
Acceleration = change in speed/time taken = (80 - 0)/1.8 mph per second = 44.4 mph per sec
Why does it feel good to be kissed on the neck?
Our subconscious mind (reptilian brain) thinks we are being attacked by an animal - makes it stimulating/exciting, because our conscious mind is relaxed and knows it is harmless. Its the same effect as seeing a scary movie or riding a roller coaster.
How many flips are there on the dueling dragons roller coaster in Orlando Florida?
There are five inversions on the Red Dragon and five on the Blue Dragon. I like Red Dragon better. They are pronounced inversions not flips.
Why is the loop of a roller coaster not a perfect circle?
to maintain it's balance in a circle way...
and to maintain the safetiness of everyone....
What Collage degrees needed to design a roller coaster?
I work for a lot of Roller Coaster enthusiast designers such as Bolliger & Mabillard, Arrow Dynamics and Intamin AG. I did not get a masters degree for roller coaster designing, nor should you receive one in this category. I actually got my degree in biology and phisics. Now I give examples using virtual roller coaster designs. But I also work for the Companies and designers. Sorry. I yerned for a degree in this as well, but if you love something set it free.
How is velocity involved with roller coasters?
Recall that a roller coaster is a gravity operated, fixed course, recreational vehicle. And also note that velocity is like speed, only with a direction vector associated with it. Velocity is associated with a roller coaster pretty much all along its route; it's always being acted on by gravity. The cars are acted on by another force, which is basically a "push" or "pull" with a direction vector, to increase their velocity a bit. The cars are hauled to the top of a grade, and then pushed over the top to begin their gravity-assisted acceleration. The velocity rises rapidly, and then other forces act on the cars (and the riders) as the vehicle acts on the rails and has the rails act back on them. Lots of things going on at once. Any time the cars of the ride change direction, they change velocity. They may or may not change speed, but a direction change alone is a velocity change. It's that simple. The cars are given potential energy by being lifted up the ramp. Then that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, into motion, by gravity. (Note that some rides "throw" the car along a track to give it kinetic energy, and it coasts for the rest of the ride and is acted on by gravity and the rails. The bottom line is that any speed change or direction change must be accomplished by a force acting on the cars, and that's how velocity will change. The physics subject of mechanics deals with this pretty well, and it is fairly easy to at least qualify the things that are happening. Following qualification, which is basically stating "what" is happening, we can move on to quantify them to determine "how much" is involved. A link is provided below so you can gather further information.
Do you have to study engineering to become a roller coaster designer?
Yes and you have to understand physics.
How do you beat roller coaster 15 on friv?

How do you spell roller coaster?
That is the preferred spelling of "roller coaster" (amusement park ride).
The combined form "rollercoaster" is less common.
A roller coaster going down the first drop is an example of?
At the top of the first hill, the coaster car has stored the maximum amount of potential energy. This is shown in the equation for potential energy, PE=mgh, where h is the height. The greater the height, the greater the potential energy. During the drop, potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy. The equation for kinetic energy is KE=(1/2)mv^2, where v is the velocity of the coaster car. The faster the car is going, the greater the kinetic energy. So as the car goes faster, the kinetic energy grows. But as the car goes down, h is getting lower, lowering the potential energy.

What is the most popular roller coaster in Ohio?
The most popular roller coaster in Ohio is the Cedar Point amusement park's "Steel Vengeance." This hybrid coaster, which opened in 2018, has garnered acclaim for its height, speed, and innovative design, combining wooden and steel elements for a smooth ride. It features multiple inversions and airtime hills, making it a favorite among thrill-seekers. Cedar Point itself is often referred to as the "Roller Coaster Capital of the World," attracting coaster enthusiasts from around the globe.
