	History and Types of Roller Coasters
		A properly designed roller coaster under good conditions will have enough kinetic, or moving, energy to complete the entire course, at the end of which brakes bring the train to a complete stop and it is pushed into the station.
		New roller coaster designs and state of the art technology push the physical limits on what type of experiences can be had on the newest coasters.
		Wooden coasters are fondly looked at by coaster enthusiasts for their more rough ride and "air-time" produced by negative G-forces when the coaster car reaches the top of some hills along the ride.

	Inverted roller coaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An inverted roller coaster is a roller coaster in which the train runs under the track with the seats directly attached to the wheel carriage.
		Inverted coasters are notable for their "reversed" orientation compared to a traditional roller coaster, with the legs rather than the arms exposed.
		Currently, the tallest inverted roller coaster is Alpengeist at Busch Gardens Williamsburg with an initial height of 195 feet (59.4 meters).

	Roller Coasters: By Type
		Giga coasters are all those with a first drop of between 300 and 399 ft. There are currently only two such coasters in existence; Millennium Force and Steel Dragon 2000, located in Nagashima Spa-Land in Japan.
		Impulse coasters are a relatively new innovation from Intamin.
		Powered coasters are, to me at least, not actually roller coasters at all, as they do not make use of gravity and momentum at any time.

		Or more accurately, roller coasters, as Dueling Dragons is the world's first duelling inverted coaster, meaning two trains on two separate tracks swoop closely past each other at several points throughout the ride.
		The third duelling moment is when the trains fly past each other in opposite directions in interlocking wing overs.
		This is the park's family coaster, and whilst obviously not as thrilling as the monstrous beasts which had preceded it, it's still not bad.

	Osian » Coasters & Parks » Controversial Coaster Survey
		You may call us train-spotters, but it's amazing how many arguments arise time and time again over the definition of a roller coaster, and whether a particular ride can be counted in a park's list of coasters.
		Another cause for debate is whether a racing or duelling coaster counts as one coaster or two or more coasters.
		The only definite vote for multiple coasters was the "Twin track racers/duellers with completely different layouts" category, and a fairly sure opinion that the Arrow Steeplechase and the 4 side-by-side shuttles are not multiple coasters.

		Duelling Dragons is an under hanging roller coaster, which basically means the coaster works like a demented ski lift.
		Duelling Dragons adds an extra element to the concept by having two tracks intertwining, which means the two cars swoop around the track converging at a number of near miss points.
		The queuing system for Duelling Dragons is very atmospheric, as the latter half runs through the twisting 'stone' corridors of a castle (and again brings to mind what live role-playing could be like with a budget of millions).
