Hey all, anyone know how much lateral force during transitions is acceptable for a B&M Hypercoaster to stay within realistic parameters? For the new track I'm working on I have a lat force of +0.5 during a transition into a high-speed overbanked curve and was just curious if that was too high to be realistic...

I don't think that anyone has a G force output chart from any B&M hyper (if they do, presenting it would be helpful). That said, considering most B&M's are pretty force-less, I would say that's a safe ballpark. Most wooden coasters hit just over 1.0 for thrilling lats, and I've never seen an area of a B&M hyper that was designed intentionally to create lats.
