The force is applied by motors, and there is a built-in safety allowance for variations in the mass of the riders.

The weightless feeling is probably due to a host of factors, so perhaps getting a firm lock into your seat so you don't float off the seat might help. I don't think any ride drops faster than gravity but certainly staying firmly in the seat (like with a shoulder harness car) seems to help me.
