I'm not sure if I calculated everything properly on this list. Please let me know if you have a correction. Thanks! KoopaTroop 03:09, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

I'm curious to know how the launch acceleration is calculated, or is it listed on RCDB? We will need to work it out for Full Throttle when the stats are released.Lachlan5963 (Talk) 19:14, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Metres per second squared

I'm going to redo this list in ms−2, as that's the 'proper' way to do it. Lachlan5963 (talk) 17:33, 31 October 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Dodonpa - 26.5 ms−2
  • Ring Racer - 22.2 ms−2
  • Fluch Von Novgorod - 19.8 ms−2
  • Stealth - 18.8 ms−2
  • Karacho - 18.5 ms−2
  • Formula Rossa - 16.7 ms−2
  • Kingda Ka - 16.3 ms−2
  • Storm Runner - 16.1 ms−2
  • Xcelerator - 15.9 ms−21.5
  • Zaturn - 15.6 ms−2


Some of these coasters don't start at 0mph (namely Karacho and Fluch des Novgorod). They both have a small drop into the actual LSM section. You may want to investigate.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.85.143.48 (talkcontribs)

Thanks for pointing that out! That is very true, in fact I'm sure I thought about this a while ago and did't change the page for whatever reason. I'll take another look at it. One problem is finding reliable information, but since now I try to source information more thoroughly than before, maybe it's time for a revamp of this page?Lachlan (Talk | contribs) (an admin) 04:11, 4 December 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
