If I assume that you could drill a hole and if you can stand high temperatures and there is no air friction:
You will fell weightlessness for the rest of your life and even beyong life. Here is why:
The momont you jump in the hole, it is a free fall, and hence, you will not feel a weight ( just as a parajumper feels on a free fall) .... You will reach the other side - your velocity will come to zero and you will be pulled in again. You will keep oscillating all your life and beyond....

You would be revolving, a circle in 24 hours.
Yes it will be weightlessness at core.
You will feel outward expulsion force due to the earth's circular motion around the sun. Normally it is overcome by our weight, over the surface of earth.So you will have a little weight acting on the opposite direction of the sun.

After you solve the problem of the super-hot rock and lava, then yes, at the center of the earth you would be weightless.
As you go down the hole, you would find that the force of gravity got less and less. That's because all the rock above you is pulling you up, which cancels out part of the gravity of the rock below you.
At the center of the Earth, all the rock is above you, and its gravity is pulling you up/down, left/right, back/forth, all at the same time, and it all cancels out.

Assuming you could find materials to handle the heat (the center of the earth is liquid metals. Yest at the center you would be weightless

You most definitely would not. There would be a ridiculous amount of pressure acting on you from the mass of the Earth. Although I do understand where you are coming from seeing as our weight is determined by the gravitational pull of the Earth from its centre you would expect to be weightless at the core; if you could undergo the vast amounts of heat and pressure that is.

The answers given by Morningfoxnorth and RMG are correct, but I see some ignorant twit has given them a thumbs down!
Why do people presume to be expert in subjects of which they know nothing?

No, you'd melt. But if you didn't melt you still wouldn't be weightless. It's liquid rock at the centre because of the pressure but because you're surrounded in matter you still have mass.

You will get crushed by pressure before going down a few miles.

Just burnt I would think.If it were possible to get there you would implode from the immense pressure from all sides!

you would never know you would be vapourised by the heat at the Earth's core
