Top Hat Help?

I'm building an iSpeed esque top hat. I have the shaping and banking down but I can't seem to keep the g's down. is 5.0 ever acceptable if it's sustained for a split second? I can't imagine it is but maybe.

iSpeed's top hat reaches 4.8-5.2. You can hit 5 but you must not sustain it, and for comfort any kind of gradual increase in force is recommended.

Where do you get this knowledge Turbo? just wondering.

I read it somewhere, and from experience it felt about that much, but only for a split second. I'll see if I can find the source I looked at

Cool

I've been looking for maybe 20 minutes and can't find solid confirmation, I could be wrong but I don't think I am.

I made a 1,600 foot tall coaster that pulled about 6 gs for 20 seconds or so.

Thanks Turbo! I have gotten it down to 4.8 which is as far as I'll go. I wonder what Nefesken pulls as that top hat is way differently shaped than iSpeed.

I think he's trying to go for realism, lol.

Edit: Also notice that Shockwave SFOT has 5.9 G's... That's through the loops my friend. Hecka sustained

anyone can edit those without verification. I don't think Shiekra ever pulls 5 G's and I know there have been higher than 6 on a roller coaster (though it's been a long time since those rides existed with the exception of the GRC ride)

Referencing is key

Why you should never trust Wiki Articles that aren't referenced.
