This article ranks the roller coasters with the fastest launch acceleration. Provided are the launch speed and the time taken to reach it. From this, the acceleration can be worked out in ms−2 using the mathematical formula:

Acceleration = change in speed / time taken

The measurements have also been converted to g, which is essentially how many times the greater the force is than gravity.

Please note that the times listed here may not be completely accurate.

Launch accelerations used here are from the RCDB.
