Since when is there a force meter on Apollo? Was it always there? I've ridden like 130x, all around 10 years ago, but I never saw it...maybe because of those 130 times, I'm guessing only a couple were toward the middle.

First off I would like to thank everyone on here for your comments. I have tweaked a few things in the drop and I think its close to be coming how I want it :) Originally the drop entrance was huge so i've made that smaller.

Here are some updates to what I have done and again all comments are welcome :)

Looks MUCH better. Just make the radius at the top a bit smaller, and then make it a smoother transition into the drop so that its not so steep.

I am absolutely positive it is there. I rode it just a couple months ago and it was there. And i have ridden in front of it more than once. Maybe i can find a pic sumwhere. ITs on the metal part supporting the back of the seat on one of the rows near the center.

Edit-

found a pic. Can you see it? its the little tube on the side of the red support on the seat. You can see the little weight inside. There are markings that show show the level of gforces.

I believe you lol, and I think I've seen where another coaster has one, but I was just wondering if it's been there all along or it's new.

Isn't that where the stick goes to let people out of the train?

nope that is called a force meter. Notice that it is only on that car. not the others. case closed.

Yeah the force meters have been there since the opening of the ride. We had to replace one last year because the pressure or whatever got messed up and it was a 3G when it was supposed to be at 1G. So Apollo pulled 6G's for a bit haha
Just keep scrolling...

Hello since my computer was formatted I had to start over but some changes have been made I would just like to see what everyone thinks :) I have made things a little tighter but I think the drop has gone a little straighter but not by much :) Screenshot below
