Was that a simulator?

Today on the way to work, I was driving down Katella. There was a truck that was speeding and drifting out of lanes. There was a red blinking light at Walker, the stupid truck driver ran the light almost causing a crash in front of him. These type of truck drivers should be banned from the roads.

There are no stupid questions.

I used to have a slide that I used at the start of almost all presentations when I worked for the Federal Court system:

Three Definitions:

Ignorance - A lack of knowledge (This is curable)

Stupidity - Ignorance coupled with an unwillingness to learn (Many people consider this a capital crime)

Stupid Question - One which you do not ask because you are afraid it will show ignorance

And often I was asked (especially by Clerks of Court) if they could have a copy of the slide.

A friend-of-a-friend was convinced that Rock n Rollercoaster at WDW didn't go upside down, that "the ride just MAKES you think you went upside down..."

Much like the reverse, where people think that EE does go upside down during the backwards portion...

In their defense, it isn't too difficult to imagine that this is true...

I know it doesn't, but my stomach still tries to exit my body via my mouth...

I can seriously tell that Rock'n'roller coaster has a loop. My sister, Big Wallaby, Shorty82 and I got the front car on the coaster. There is a loop folks. ;)

Well, there is only very highly-banked curve during the backwards portion that if you're on either end of the train it does feel pretty close to going upside down. And without any kind of a reference point, it's hard to tell just what happened.
I'll bet it's what, in coaster terminology, is called an "overbanked turn". It's not an inversion, but it's a turn that is banked so steeply that it's actually a little beyond 90 degrees. (So when you're at the maximum banked part, your head is pointing sideways and ever so slightly angled toward the ground.) These types of curves give quite the G-force sensations in the front of the train as it's pushed into the curve, and the back of the train as it's pulled through the curve.

Birbaum Guides:
Walt Disney World 2009 guide book:

From the book: the inside attreaction reaches a speed pf nearly 60 miles per hour-in 2.8 seconds flat.

Other twists include two loops and a corkscrew-marking the first time Disney has turned guests upside down on American soil.

Shorty82, Big Wallaby, my sister and I have been on it. We got our pictures taken on it. They get your picture as it comes out of the 1st loop. If you leave your eyes open during this, you will see the the corkscrew first and 2 loops later through the ride. The loops are there.

Actually, the loop is first. It launches you straight into the loop. The corkscrew and the other inversion (can't remember the type) are after.
