Spacewarp is a line of build-it-yourself, marble-run toy "roller coasters" first made in the 1980s by Bandai. [1] Users cut lengths of track to the correct size from a single roll of thick plastic tubing, forming curves and loops held in place by plastic track rail holders which attach to metal rods held vertical in a black plastic base.
Bead maze. A bead maze or bead roller coaster is a children's toy.Bead mazes feature a wooden base with brightly-colored rigid wires strung from one side of the base to the other, often in intricate tracks that loop and intertwine with one another.
On Superman: Escape from Krypton, manufactured by Intamin, located at Six Flags Magic Mountain, the cars do not use typical side friction wheels along the rails, but rather uses a thin steel rail mounted in the center of the track to keep the train centered, while running and up-stop wheels roll along the outer rails. Before its 2010 ...
Roller coaster wheels. Roller coaster trains have wheels that run on the sides (side friction or guide wheels) and underneath the track (upstop, underfriction, or underlocking wheels) as well as on top of it (road or running wheels); these lock the train to the tracks and prevent it from jumping the track. The side wheels can be mounted on the ...

A single–rail roller coaster is a roller coaster that rides on only one rail, as opposed to the far more conventional two-rail setup of most roller coasters. Alpine/Mountain coasters [ edit ]
The physics of roller coasters comprises the mechanics that affect the design and operation of roller coasters, a machine that uses gravity and inertia to send a train of cars along a winding track. Gravity, inertia, g-forces , and centripetal acceleration give riders constantly changing forces which create certain sensations as the coaster ...
A wooden roller coaster is a type of roller coaster classified by its wooden track, which consists of running rails made of flat steel strips mounted on laminated wood. The support structure is also typically made of wood, but may also be made of steel lattice or truss , which has no bearing on a wooden coaster's classification.
