A rollercoaster is traditionally an amusement park ride where up to a half-dozen "cars" riding on rails move very fast up and down hill and around corners, propelled by gravity.  Modern innvations include twists, turns, spiral and loops, dramatic speeds (approaching 200mph), dramatic climbs and drops (hundreds of feet), variations where the "car" consists of a mere "seat" or where you stand up, etc.

A "Rube Goldberg" machine is best illustrated by one of those cartoons which shows a bowling ball rolling down a gutter, landing on a bellows, blowing up a balloon, popping on a pin, scaring a chicken which lays an egg which pushes a small wooden lever, that unlocks a small windmill that winds the string and opens a gate.\n\nBasically it is a complex machine made out of several different (and at times) odd moving parts.  If you've ever seen the movie "The Goonies", the contraption that they used to "open the gate" for Chunk after he does the 'truffle shuffle' can be considered a Rube Goldberg machine.\n\nThere's also a game by Sierra called "The Incredible Machine" that can possibly help give you some ideas (aside from actually being fun to play).  I've included a link to download one of the versions of the game below.

Assuming you design it so the people don't reach terminal velocity, and you reverse the acceleration safely at the bottom, it just gives you a few more seconds of free fall.  Calculate the fall time and compare it to the fall time for a more traditional amusement ride.  Not enough difference to be worth implementing.
