How are the positive g forces experienced by roller-coaster riders created?

Positive g forces on roller coasters are created primarily through rapid changes in speed and direction, particularly during rapid ascents, descents, and sharp turns. When a coaster car accelerates upward or decelerates downward, the inertia of the riders pushes them into their seats, generating a sensation of increased weight. This effect is due to the combination of gravitational force and the forces exerted by the coaster's movement, resulting in the thrilling experience riders feel.

What causes dizziness on a roller coaster?

Inside your inner ear there is a fluid in a small chamber. This fluid is what helps the brain balance. It's how you know when you're leaning to a side, or even upside down. While on a roller coaster the sharp turns and loops makes that liquid slosh around a lot. This sends mixed signals to the brain, and causes in some people a disorienting effect. However when you ride a lot of roller coasters this effect does not occur. That is because the brain has become accustom to the sensation and the signals it is receiving.
