Most forceful coaster you've been on.

[kingdanny]

I never heard of El Toro being forceful. Tatsu's pretzle loop lookes pretty intence.

[trustkill22]

One of the craziest times I have only greyed out was the bottom of Millenium Forces first drop because I didn't eat all day and thats what I think because in the morning I was perfect but it felt 2 times worse on that night ride.

[kingdanny]

I think it's proven that you black out on coasters if you don't eat. My friend went on Batman(SFOG) in the middle of the day and didn't eat breakfast or lunch before. BIG mistake. He said he only remembered the lift hill and the break run.

Batman the Ride in the front seat has some really powerful positive g's.

 

Mindbender's "third loop" helix was the only part of the ride where I could not keep my hands up. I think the ride's 5.4 g section is through the bottom of that helix, and the g's are slightly less going into the vertical loops. I may be wrong about that, though.

 

I thought that Face/OFF was way too intense, especially going around the second time. That ride is nothing but strong positive g's the whole time. I had my eyes closed going backwards during the second half, because I didn't even want to know if I was greying/blacking out. I'm sure Deja Vu is pretty much the same, only more sustained.

 

As for negative g's, Magnum XL and Georgia Cyclone's 4th drop in the back seat are definitely the most intense that I have ridden.

Tatsu!

[Vekoma Fan Boy]

^I agree on Batman(SFOG), I grey out everytime on the loops. BTW, I noticed that Batman has gotten a little rough. The last time I rode it, I was in the front, and I had some headbanging through the last corkscrew. Has anyone else noticed this?

 

 

It might just be the fact that a corkscrew is just an odd inversion to enter, there should be some headbanging.

Titan SFoT, but I've never thought that batman was intense (SFoT) i'll ride it again, i guess it's cause i'm used to the schwarzkopf loops on shockwave...

[kenshinmac]

I got tunnel vision once on Goliath's helix. It was half cool/half scary.

 

The pull-out of Tatsu's Pretzel is crazy, too. B:TR is always intense.

You know I think I heard that Titan was basically a Goliath clone but with the extra upward helix... If my ride was any indication the upwards helix before the MCBR is much more mean than the helix past the MCBR. I have honestly never felt uncomfortable with sustained G-forces on a coaster before that moment... It really hurt... One of the few times I've gotten off a coaster and not wanted to go again.

I don't remember any G's in the helix. The loops were extremly forceful. I think MindBender has a design flaw. If you sit in the first row of the fourth car, you don't feel any positive G's but you still feel the airtime.

[Calaway Park]

According to many sources, Mindbender in Galaxyland has the most G's currently on a roller coaster with 5.2, how can Mindbender at SFOG have 5.4?

[GMAN962]

Probably either Tatsu or Goliath. Both at Magic Mountain.

[WildStangAlex]

I am thinking Batman the Ride at SFGAm. I seem to have blacking out issues with that one. Also Deja Vu and Iron Wolf are up there for sure. Gotta love them though!

[VegasCoaster]

Any non heartline roll on a flying coaster (X-flight's vertical loop, Tatsu's pretzel loop) have to be at the top, not so much that they have more g's than the others but the orientation of your body to the track just makes it feel a heck of a lot stronger.

I have also noticed this. It happens to me in both corks actually. It just slams your ear into the OTSR which does not feel to good. Other than that though, the ride is very smooth.

[Astat]

The first overbank on Millenium Force is pretty intense, I along with quite a few other people grey out on it...either that or riding Invertigo at PKI, going backwards through the loop in the last car.

 

Raptor's helix was pretty intense the very first time I rode it in about 99, but since then I've never found it to be much of anything. Mantis also has some pretty strong Gs in the back car, enough to cause pain in the legs.

[thomas2]

Never ride Batman: The Ride in the last car 3 times in a row. There is a buttload of force going threw those loops.

 

I have rode Batman la Fuga (madrid) for 6 times in a row on the backseat, never had a problem with the g-forces, till I got out of my seat. I couldn't stand anymore on my legs because of the G forces, was quite a weird experience to be hounest!

 

Haha I had the same experience after 2 rides in a row. I thought the corkscrews where more forcefull than those loopings though

[modelmaker]

For me the helix after the second loop and the pull out of the first loop were the most intense moments. The corcscrews weren't that intense, only quite disorientating in my opinion.

[kingdanny]

I think Arrow and Vekoma corkscrews are better than B&M corkscrews.

[okinawaboy11]

I'd have to say Raptor was pretty damn forceful.

[Dailey Enterprizes]

Most forceful coaster ever was the Steel Phantom before it was converted to Phantom's Revenge. I think the ride's Boomerang (Batwing) inversion should have been re-named Blackout.

 

[pkdcoaster]

For me I would say sustained positive G's would go to Goliath at SFMM

nice big sigh of relief after that Helix

[KrakenKing]

Batman @ SFOG

 

Montu without Trims

 

or Deja Vu

[FlyingScooter]

The take-off on TTD. That had the most force that made an impression.

Other than that, the 4-g loop on X-Flight.

[ECZenith]

Two of SFMM's coasters come to mind.

 

Goliath's insane helix and the bottom of Tatsu's pretzel loop. Both of which basically seem to squeeze the life out of you.

[summerof72]

im not a bigtime traveler (cant stop going to Disney!) but i have to say that the Thunderbolt at Kennywood gets harder for me to ride every year.....

 

those old wooden coasters are awesome. a friend of mine broke a few ribs one year at the school picnic when she held her arms up and it threw her against the side...YIKES!
