Wheels on Wooden Coasters.

I was just watching a POV for stampedia and I was wondering how are the wheels arranged on a wooden coaster to avoid the trains flying off the track on high negative G's. I realise that this is probably a realy silly question so I appologise for this. ^^

Oh wow! That is quite a funky wheel arrangement! Thanks!

^ Yeah, pretty much any coaster has that three wheel arrangement.

But, I really just posted here to tell you that, the Birthday Massacre is awesome and I love your siggy!

Thanks! ^^ The Birthday Massacre RULE! xD But back on topic I never realised that the track had a wheel under it on a wooden coaster.
