Just you wait and see......I heard Siemens has sold a license for the Transrapid maglev technology to a rollercoaster company here in Germany......no more wheels and shafts and chains and their pesky friction......

Let's see,...... The potential energy of a 1 quart load of semi liquid barf impacting on 1 sq foot from a height of 456 feet. Approximate 3 pounds worth at a terminal velocity of around 50 mph, unless it's frozen. Assuming no popcorn of peanuts it should have the same impact as a bowling ball being dropped on your head. It shouldn't matter though because the change falling from everyones pockets on the coaster will have killed everyone below anyway.
COOL!!!
