Page creation issues

Just created the page, using the template from the Kingda Ka page. It is named to complete the link at the Notable_roller_coasters#Fastest_roller_coasters page. There should be one of those disambiguation things at The_Twilight_Zone_Tower_of_Terror where I initially was redirected to, but I'm too much of a noob to know how to go about it. This page could do with some photos, but I don't have any originals and am unsure about scraping them off the net. --LightYear 04:04, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Cheers for that. Not sure about your claims for it going 400km/h or rising to 200 stories though, have amended. wimbledon andy 11:20, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Good, disambiguation is done, just moments before I learnt how to do it for myself ;). Pity about the 400km/h & 200 stories crap (that was vandalism by 60.229.246.141). I've reverted it to SupaStarGirl's edits on the original data. LightYear 02:12, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Question about the following quote: "Riders are weightless during the entire vertical section of the ride for about 6.5 sec, 3.25 seconds going up and 3.25 seconds falling back down" -- Perhaps I don't understand the physics of this particular ride, but how could you be weightless on the way up? Any upwards vertical acceleration should add to your weight, rather than removing from it (as happens on the way down). Warrition 20:55, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

It's decelerating on the way up (at about 9.8m/s/s, due to gravity), which is the same from a weightlessness point of view, as falling LightYear (talk) 00:02, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Succession box

The way the succession boxes are done is really ugly and confusing. Isn't there a way to convey the information in just one box? If it were me I would remove the box where Tower of Terror is succeeded by Superman: The Escape. Yes, S:TE succeeds ToT chronologically, but it doesn't succeed it speed-wise. It's a tie.

I have replaced the two boxes with a single box. - Super Sam ^{ultra quick reply} 13:04, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Another problem. Tower of Terror wasn't preceded by Steel Dragon 2000. Although SD2000 is the fastest coaster after ToT, it opened almost a decade after Tower of Terror. The previous fastest coaster is actually Fujiyama. I'll change that.--Skylights76 20:29, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
