So,
Dcs and I are contemplating a question about Arrow Suspended (Swinging) coasters: Do these types of coasters eliminate lateral forces completely? It would seem so because the train, given its speed + the radius of the turn, would swing into the perfect position where there are no lateral forces being applied. It's another question of does this style of coaster have a heartline? I would assume, yes, and it's just an over exaggerated heartline, but at the same time I do not know. We were pondering if the oscillation of the train before it finds the 0 lateral spot would cause signifigant, or no lateral forces at all... If anybody has a clear answer on the subject, do tell.
CONFUZZUN!
