Negative Gs on public transport/cars
spinning man replied to spinning man's topic in Random, Random, Random
2 weeks ago when I was in Colombia visiting the family, I went on a bus to return home. The roads there are crap and the suspension on the buses are terrible, and it doesn't help that they drive like mad over there. Anyway, the bus i was on was going over a bridge which had some bumps and cracks on a section where it seemed as if they were too lazy to fill the gap where they put it in as sections when building it. The driver was going quick, and as soon as we reached the gap, the back of the bus flung into the air. I was sitting in the back so that didn't help matters. I was in mid air for a g -
Well, unfortunately my dogs time has come. She passed away today at 3:15pm (UK time) after having a seizure. She was 13 going onto 14, so she was quite a old dog. Thanks for the happy memories Peggy you greedy dog.

Here in the UK, Cathedral City (Cheddar) is the holy grail of cheeses. Well, in my opinion at least. Eating it solid isn't bad, but heating it up on some toast gives it a better taste and is quite filling. A image for good measure

Ferrari World Discussion Thread

Quick question, is there a reason as to why Ferrari world have chosen their outdoor coasters to have white track rather than say red track, such as in portaventura? -
Some interesting and surprising news has appeared here in the UK. Bananaman, the hero with the strength of twenty men, and the brains of twenty mussels, is being turned into a musical. Its great to hear they are bringing a british hero to life, but I am still a bit irritated how no news what so ever has been released about the Bananaman movie which was meant to have been released last year. It hasn't been cancelled though, so that is some good news. If I remember correctly, more info about the musical is meant to be released on February 2nd. To those who don't know who Bananaman is, he is mean

Gardaland Discussion Thread

I had a look at the webcam and came across the car on the helix section. The design and colour looks interesting. But by curiosity, when is this ride meant to be open to the public? -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

I remember that when Thorpe Park were realising info on their wing rider, they said that a loaded train weighs 12 tons. Since The Swarm has 7 rows, that will be roughly 1.71 tons for each car when loaded. Each person weighs 70.8 kg on average in Europe according to wiki, so times that by 4 which makes 283.2 kg. Turn that into tons, which is 0.31217456 (0.31 tons to keep it easy) and use that to minus from the total weight which comes to 1.4 tons per car, if my calculations are correct. Note: I am not a mathematician. Correct me if I am wrong. -

If I'm not mistaken, the reason for that shape on all the wing coasters so far, is due to the safety of the passengers as well as the vehicles being able to go around the track easily without any clashes with other sections of the cars.
