Coaster Terms

hi

i'm into creating rides on RCT 1, 2, 3 and Nolimits. i only post my nolimits tracks. cause i'm in sydney and theres not many rollercoasters around here i don't know any of the coaster terms. i got the basic ones like loop and Zero G Roll. but sometimes i hear people talking of terms i wouldn't have a clue about like Heartline, hill lead-ins. can any one help. tell me all the terms.

P.S. ride my new ride JH motorbike ride rate.

Thanks

Here's a nice place to start: http://rcdb.com/g.htm

Unfortunately some of the terms aren't filled in but there's a lot of useless knowledge that any coaster fan should know there. lol

And BTW, here's a pic of a typical heartline roll: http://rcdb.com/ig2528.htm?picture=45

It's called that because the center of the spin is around rider's hearts.

Maybe the (not) helpful Wikipedia could (not) help

^ Sounds like you (do not) like (not) helping people. What ever that means . . .

Sounds like you are not not using double negatives.

EE. Wikipedia was not made for divulging into every little spec of a roller coaster so that designers can remake it in simulators without breaking a sweat. You have to get over that. Recreating is supposed to be challenge. Not looking for one? Give up on Balder.

Lots of information here as well ... [approve]

Of course, I could always use more and updating is needed in some instances ...
