	Howstuffworks "How Roller Coasters Work"
		Roller coasters are driven almost entirely by basic inertial, gravitational and centripetal forces, all manipulated in the service of a great ride.
		For most of the ride, a roller coaster is moved only by the forces of inertia and gravity.
		In most roller coasters, the hills decrease in height as you move along the track.

	sociology - Roller coaster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A standard full-circuit lift-powered coaster works like this: After leaving the boarding area (station), the train is pulled up with a chain or cable along the lift hill to the first peak of the coaster track.
		Some coasters move back and forth along the same section of track; these rollercoasters are called shuttles because of this motion and usually run the circuit once with riders moving fowards and then backwards through the same course.
		As of 2005, the roller coaster holding the records for greatest speed and height is Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure with a top speed of 128 mi/h (193.2 km/h) and a 456 foot (128.1 m) vertical hill.

	History and Types of Roller Coasters
		Some coasters move back and forth along the same section of track; these rollercoasters are called shuttles because of this motion and usually run the circuit once with riders moving forwards and then backwards through the same course.
		Steel coasters are known for their smooth ride and often convoluted shapes that often turn riders upside-down via inversions known as loops, corkscrews, pretzels, and other descriptive names.
		Cedar Point was the first park to have coasters break specific height barriers, so as they (their marketing team, perhaps) were the first ones to create and use names for coasters of a particular height, those names became part of general use.

	Ryan's Web Page/Group Research Project
		Potential energy is experienced while the roller coaster car is being projected to the top of the lift hill, where, at the top of the hill, potential energy will be at its greatest since this is point where the coaster is at its highest elevation.
		Gravity powers the coaster though the duration of the ride by detaching the car from the lift mechanism, which propels the car up the lift hill, and forces the coaster off of its highest elevation along the inclined track of the first hill and propels the coaster through the extent of the ride.
		In contrast though, some coasters successfully project the illusion of faster speeds at the end of the ride though the creation of the tight curves, fast speed bumps, and causing the coaster to maneuver in and out of itself which is more a characteristic of wooden coaster rather the their steel predecessors.

	Rog's Report: The Rise of Superman
		The first flying coaster idea was a failure; it only had one station and lines were very long.
		It was known as the prone coaster and was truly a flying coaster where you laid on your stomach and flew out of the station.
		The coaster was to be a clone that would be located at the end of the Boardwalk section of the park in the parking lot.

	Rog's Report: Construction HQ
		As reported 1st here on GAdv.com, the original spot for the new coaster was to be in the season pass parking lot, but soon we all learned that was not to be.
		All of the coasters are built on the outside of the park, with no room to build within the park...so we think.
		With the addition of the new BandM roller coaster, Six Flags Great Adventure will be the first and only park with 4 BandM coasters until Six Flags Great America opens their own BandM Prone coaster later that year.

	Flying Roller Coaster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A flying coaster has a very odd design.
		When the riders get in the cars, at first they are sitting in a normal position as if they were sitting in a chair, then the car seats lean back to where the passengers face the sky lying on their backs.
		This is the most extraordinary part of all ; when the car passes thru the part of the coaster where the track flips up-side-down the people riding the ride face the ground as if they were flying thru the air!

		I guess a dip may be too exreem for a flying coaster, but they should at least keep it on the hypers.

		I didn't think it was going to happen, but then I went to the 2002 report on Roller Coaster Database ([url]www.rcdb.com[/url]) and saw Air for Alton Towers.
		I mean even though their flying Dutchman coaster are super cool, BandM's going is clearly going to beat them with their own flying coaster model.

	What is a floorless or Flying roller coaster like? - ThrillNetwork Boards
		Floorless only has a huge affect on the front, while flying is pretty good anywhere depending on how you ride it.(looking down or in front of you)there both pretty good.
		As for flying the two good parts are the 180 degree spin at the top of the lift hill and the loop(good g's)
		both are unique coasters, you get the foot chopper effect more so in the front but can get it anywhere, look down while you ride it.

		This simulator is designed for kids who want to design their own thrilling coaster and educators who want to use a cool activity to simulate the application of physics by using an exciting interactive tool and access to a wonderful reference source.
		It is your mission to design the coaster so that you can achieve maximum thrills and chills without crashing or flying off the track (unless that's how you like your coaster to work!).
		You are responsible for setting the controls for the height of hill #1, hill #2, the size of the loop, the initial speed of the coaster, its mass, the gravity at work and the amount of friction on the track.

		It was a nice slide show, the only I should say is they showed the same pictures twice, besides that it was good.
		We have rides, artifacts, and more from the park that is going to be used at the new site.
