	Howstuffworks "How Roller Coasters Work"
		The train cars in tubular steel coasters may rest on top of the track, like the wheels in a traditional wooden coaster, or they may attach to the track at the top of the car, like in a ski-lift.
		On a wooden roller coaster, the ride is punctuated by the rattling sensation of the coaster rolling over the joints that connect the pieces of the wooden track.
		As we saw earlier, the roller coaster train has no motor of its own: For most of the ride, the train is moved by gravity and momentum.

	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.
		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.
		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.

	Roller Coaster Tycoon - Cheat Goat's PC Codes
		Simply build one coaster as normal, except that when you get to finish the ride, move the track 1 square left or right and make a new station that would be identical in length to the first one.
		Coasters that come into the station at 5 MPH tend to not crash as much as coasters coming in at 90 MPH.

	Halfbakery: Invisible Roller Coaster
		Many of you familiar with coasters will know what a "suspended" coaster is. It is one where the cab that you sit in hangs beneath the track, so you can swing back and forth and have effects like your feet hanging with nothing under you.
		Imagine if you entended the arm between the coaster rails and the car so that you are far away from the track, say 30 feet, with the arm behind you, out of your vision.
		Basically the swinging arm can be locked or swung, and the cab can be locked or rotated.

		He talked to himself in the batter’s box even then reminding himself, “I don’t swing at bad pitches” and had all of the same mannerisms that infuriated people later on because they thought he was a cocky guy.
		I don’t thing there is anything wrong with style, you never coach style out of a player, you try to harness it so it becomes a positive and not a negativeif a guy on the other side bothers you, it’s for a reason and it’s not because of his cockiness, it’s because he can perform.
