Non-Enthusiasts Say The Darndest things...

Ok, so, we are getting off topic just a tad, but, no biggie, as my little brother used to say: "it is just part of your celery." having looked at the price of produce recently, getting paid in celery does not seem so bad...lol )

Denying or forgetting a good contribution to this thread is beyond me

I'm a spambot that got banned!

Spambots say the darndest things.

No kidding, this is getting ridiculous.

I think it was the second year after Millennium Force opened I was in line and there was this kid near me that wouldn't stop talking about how MF pulled 8 G's at the bottom of the first hill.

^That would kill most of the people on this earth. Or, at least damage them.

8, 5, what's the difference, I'm sure he did fine in math class

^I doubt Millennium Pulls 5 G's. Probably more like 4

a lot of people blackout at the bottom of the first drop.....

3 Is Enough To Make you Blackout If sustained for a couple seconds.

Some coasters do pull 4+ vertical g forces, like this one for instance:

Is there a good reference site that list the g forces of some of the more popular coasters? I tried using google and cannot find anything.

pfft 4g's is nothing! try this...

Yeah, sorry, the + meant 4 or more positive G forces. Also, if you want to blackout on a coaster, the helix on Goliath at SFMM pulls some really heavy-duty lateral g's, I black out in the helix almost every time I ride it.

I've only ever grayed out/blacked out once. It was on MF and it king of freaked me out because I had never had that happen before and I've ridden that ride countless times. Anyways I think Tower of Terror pulls the most G's at 6.3g's.

I remember riding I305 In the front before the trims right after it opened. You teleport from 15ft after the lead in to the turn then halfway up the hill you re-appear.

wait by black out/red out you mean just blacking out for a couple of seconds right?

I black out every time I ride that ride. Right from near the top of the first overbanked turn until the first tunnel.

This is pretty amusing.

When everyone's online and can, at a whim, do a search on the tallest/fastest coaster, it makes the discussion quite hilarious (sometimes painful) to read. A particular favorite from page 7: "No the king the caw is" (He's trying to say Kingda Ka lol.)
