What is the difference between the front seat of a rollercoaster vs back seat?
Q. I was at Cedar Point yesterday and got to thinking about this. I know a lot of people are willing to wait a little longer in line in order to ride in the front seat. In fact, we did that yesterday for Millennium Force (way cool, by the way!). But I know some people like the very last seat on coasters. I understand way the front seat is cool, but you do some people like the backseat?

A. Hello, I found this article that sheds some good light on your question: "To understand how this works, imagine a coaster train reaching the top of a hill. As it ascends, it slows down because gravity is pulling on it from behind. But when the first car makes it over the apex, gravity starts pulling that car down the other side of the hill. Because of gravity's pull, the first car starts to accelerate, which accelerates the second car, which accelerates the third car and so on. In this way, all of the rear cars are accelerated by the motion of the first car, so they all start accelerating at different points along the track. By the time the last car moves over the hump, gravity has already accelerated the first car a good bit.… [cont.]

What are the electrical connections for under passenger seat? If the seat is not power?
Q. On my 2004 Camry LE V6 there are power plugs under the passenger seat. This seat is not "power" adjustable, but rather manual. I was wondering what the plugs are for? Lumbar support adjustment? I am about to replace with leather seats from a different model. Thanks so much for the help.
Asked by PlayaAdam - Sun Aug 26 11:45:39 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Those connections may be for one of the computers, is there a box they connect to? Those connections may also be there to support power seats and are not connected since you have manual seats. It is cheaper to run the wires to all cars since the majority will have power seats.

What airline has the largest seat belts?
Q. My aunt is a larger women and she wants to fly in to see us but said she is embarassed for getting a seat belt extension. Does anyone know what airline has the largest seat belts?
Asked by Kelly - Mon Jul 6 01:07:20 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I've been in the industry a very long time, and they all have damn near the same seat belts! All of the plane manufacturers (Airbus / Boeing / Embraer..etc..) seem to contract them from one major supplier. Your aunt will have to use seatbelt extensions I'm afraid. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. I've seen people ask for two of them before. The embarrassing part would be if the flight attendant had to point out that she needed them in front of other passengers.
