Reported on The Verge, a new zero gravity gravity coaster is being proposed.
Right now, the only way to experience the sensation of complete weightlessness is by becoming an astronaut or booking a trip on a reduced-gravity plane like the “Vomit Comet.” But that may be about to change. Design team BRC Imagination Arts has proposed a roller coaster that would travel up a steep track at speeds of 100 miles an hour before beginning a controlled drop that would essentially put its passengers into zero gravity for eight seconds.
With an enclosed ride, people would be able to toss around objects and even play with cups of water while in free fall. Of course things will definitely get interesting and a bit disgusting when everyone in your car begins to lose their lunch. Luckily ride attendants will be on hand to hose the ride down for the next batch of riders.
