G spikes

DO yellow g's count as a spike? If they do how much is acceptable?

i never thought yellow g's counted as a g spike and i dont they do!

um...still, how much does a yelow g max to become a red one?

i think red g's start at +5.7 gs, but if im wrong then im only about a tenth off. And I don't think yellow g's are considered as a g-spike, but many people do consider them as one.

yellow and red g's are in-themselves not G-spikes. A G-spike is when the g levels sudenly go from low to high or high to low. For example, if you where going down a hill and where pulling -1g, then when you got to the bottom, in about a tenth of a second you go to 3g's, that would be considered a G-spike. yello g's are just high g's, and red ones are higher. That's all.

oh..thankx guys!

yeah the highest g' force on a coaster was on ....(i forget the name) and it had 6.7 g's if i remember rightly

Just a wuick fact for ya

The coaster's name that had those g's was "Texas Tornado"

or it could be shaft of terror in africa (really steep drop)

i was actualy referring to the one with the pretzel loop

Moonsault Scramble

You mean Superman: Ultimate Flight. I don't think the g's really get that high, maybe about 5, but I could be wrong.
