Hmmm... I can't really think up any coaster that (consistently) gave me blackouts. I305, All the B&M Batmans, Titan, the Superman coasters. I think only the coaster that would come the closest would be Typhoon at Bobbejaanland. On a rare occassion I get a blurry vision after the loop. :lol:
Could be that I'm getting used to riding forcefull coasters? Kumba, Dragon Khan and Maverick are a few of my favorites for example.

I've now been on 168 roller coasters and the only ride I've ever come close to blacking out on was my first ride of I305. Holy god that first turn is brutally awesome

4 G's to the taint was a bit much for me because I'm not a power bottom like Turbo

IMO, I don't think Anton's Shuttle Loop is the kind of a blackout feeling, despite the extreme g-force of over 5 then nearly 6. It is rather smooth! :O

Oh yea, forgot Nitro, I blackout occasionally in the helix, just depends where I sit in the train, what side, and how many times I had previously ridden it that day.

Depending on the day that it is having, Titan at Six Flags over Texas can cause a blackout on the first 540 helix. Another one could be Shockwave at Six Flags Over Texas, again depending on the kind of day that the ride is having.

I don't know if it would be considered "blackout crazy", but there were several times when I blacked out going into Kraken's Immelmann, which is odd because it's far from being the most intense element I've experienced.

I love Kraken.

I think the closest I came to blacking out so far was Scorpion at BGT. Right when you hit the start of the loop in the first car. It's like getting hit with "The Force" from Star Wars

Moonsault Scramble.

6.2 G's is a little too much for me.

Never blacked out on a coaster before. But then again I never rode a coaster that has a flat turn like Intimidator or any element that sustains a force for so long.

^That first turn is psychotic. I blacked out so hard on it that by the time I could see the train was on top of the first airtime hill. But again, I didn't have anything to drink that day, so the effects were amplified by minor dehydration. I've just never been on an element so insane and awesome. Skyrush's first turn doesn't really have a long enough turn or enough sustained g's to cause blackouts, but I have heard of a few people blacking out on that.
It's been a long time

Just ride a batman clone on row 6, multiple rides back to back, and you'll start graying out at the bottom of the second loop.

I rode Raptor at CP 11 times in a row before I had to tap out. I never blacked out or greyed out but that final helix really drained me. I'm sure I was getting close
