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 ...
Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all.
