What happens if you get stuck on a roller coaster?

Simple. It will roll out of the loop. Since roller coasters rely only on gravity, they can't just stop upside down. Once it leaves the lift hill, a roller coaster train will navigate to the end of the course.

Roller Coaster Physics. The purpose of the coaster's initial ascent is to build up a sort of reservoir of potential energy. The concept of potential energy, often referred to as energy of position, is very simple: As the coaster gets higher in the air, gravity can pull it down a greater distance.

What is the weight limit for roller coasters at Six Flags?

This is a good question, without a simple answer. Most rides don't have a posted wait limit. A few do, with limits around 250 or 300 lbs. But the cat majority use their restraint systems to prohibit larger would-be-riders from riding.
