ive been reading alot of threads and i was wondering what heartlining is? In most threads ive read about coasters where someone asks for help, someone suggests fixing the heartlining. i also read a few where they mentioned a heartlined roll as an element that looks kinda like a zero-g roll. Thanks for any responses.

"Heartlining" is a method that rollercoaster designers use to create rolls.
It's basically a way of twisting the track around the car's path of travel. This creates an imaginary axis of rotation positioned (roughly) at the rider's heart.
This reduces the lateral g-forces that a rider may experience through a roll or transition.
