I was just watching a POV for stampedia and I was wondering how are the wheels arranged on a wooden coaster to avoid the trains flying off the track on high negative G's. I realise that this is probably a realy silly question so I appologise for this. ^^

It's similar to any steel coaster, really.

In that picture you can see the ridge under which the upstop wheels run.

Also, a quick google and I found this:

Number two is the one you'll want to look at.
 
^ Yeah, pretty much any coaster has that three wheel arrangement.

But, I really just posted here to tell you that, the Birthday Massacre is awesome and I love your siggy!
