![]() And that’s something where we go beyond 90 degrees. And so sometimes you might just bank at 45 degrees, you know, and there might be other times where we try to be extreme and you have what are called overbanked turns. We’re controlling the horizontal G-forces, or the side-to-side forces. We’re putting a lot of twists and turns into our rides as well. And then when you hit the valley, you’re pushed into your seat, and that’s a positive vertical G-force. That’s where I feel like I could be launched out of my seat. And airtime, those are the negative G-forces. However, as I’m going over the hill, that crest, you might feel a what’s called the airtime. Primarily, a roller coaster is made up of vertical G-forces, horizontal G-forces, that’s the side to side, and the longitudinal, or front to back G-forces. You want people to look at that ride and say, ‘I gotta give that a try,'” explains Kiepert. “When you’re designing a ride, you have to draw people into the ride. There are stories and novelties to consider, too. In Engineer Explains Every Roller Coaster For Every Thrill from Wired’s A World of Difference series, The Gravity Group‘s Korey Kiepert describes the anatomy of a roller coaster, and explains how safety standards partner with boundary-pushing structural and mechanical engineering to create new rides. ![]() ![]() ![]() Start with wooden roller coasters and steel roller coasters, then blast off into a world of hyper coasters, giga coasters, strata coasters… and what’s a wild mouse? Clear 20 minutes of your time for a comprehensive review of the types of roller coasters that designers and engineers have created around the globe. ![]()
