Adrenaline_Rush Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I didnt know which topic to put this in so sorry if I have misplaced this. When I ride rides with your feet below you hanging (Montu, Nemisis, etc.) I have this wierd feeling whenever Positive G's are pulled, it feels like all the blood is being rushed to my feet, or as if my feet are going to be pulled right out of my shoes, is this a bad thing, or is it just a regular feeling that comes with the ride. Please anyone with an answer, tell me before Saturday (when I ride Montu) Thanks, Caleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthFan Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I get this feeling but on only on Nemesis. Granted i've only been on that and Inferno but its only Nemesis i get that feeling on. Its perfectly normal. If its not and i'm wrong we both better go see the doctor lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost007jas Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I get the same feeling on Silver Bullet's helix. While I don't find it to be a wonderful feeling, I think its perfectly normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Don't worry, it's perfectly normal. Your Feet are pulled down because there is no floor to support them, and blood rushes into them because blood is affected by gravity too. But seriously, nothing to worry about, it'll happen on all powerful helices and the only change with an invert, is that there is no floor under your feet.

Wes Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Don't listen to these fools. My mom's a doctor and she said that it could be indicative of a problem with high blood pressure. Too much high g-force may actually pop your veins, especially on dangle feet roller coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraken613 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 B&M wouldnt make these coasters if they wernt safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDragon Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 It's just an influx of positive G's... I quite like the feeing myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline_Rush Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 I agree to the if they werent safe thing, Im sure there perfectly safe the riders just need to be healthy. Via the warning signs before the ride. So I am going to skip Montu, because I have that feeling throughout the WHOLE ride, except when negative G's are pulled!

kraxleRIDAH Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I've been on Batman The Ride, Top Gun, Silver Bullet, and Raptor and never once did I feel like my feet were being "pulled out of my shoes" from the positive G's. I feel the G's in the seat, not in my feet. Though the discomfort you're describing isn't a bizarre or rare case, it's probably an indicator of something -- like what Wes said...such as high blood pressure or some other medical or physical issue.

Adrenaline_Rush Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 If anyone can provide any proof on that its perfectly normal please tell me, or if its bad for you, please tell me. Because right now I am searching information and cant find anything on this stuff. And right now Im planning on missing my favorite ride in the world, because I am worried about my health. So if any proof is provided please tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Don't listen to these fools. My mom's a doctor and she said that it could be indicative of a problem with high blood pressure. Too much high g-force may actually pop your veins, especially on dangle feet roller coasters. The only problem here is that veins are the lower pressure blood vessels. If anyone can provide any proof on that its perfectly normal please tell me, or if its bad for you, please tell me. Because right now I am searching information and cant find anything on this stuff. And right now Im planning on missing my favorite ride in the world, because I am worried about my health. So if any proof is provided please tell me. Wes is right. Your feet could explode on one of those crazy inverted coasters. They're actually super dangerous, but B&M pays the government and media to keep quiet about it. OK. We're just messing with you. Inverted coasters are perfectly safe, unless you have some sort of pre-existing heart condition, which isn't likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline_Rush Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Please explain for I have no idea what that means.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I have low blood pressure and after a long day at a theme park the more intense inverted coasters (such as Nemisis and Batman: the Ride clones) are really painful on my feet. I think this is pretty normal and can be avoided if I just stiffen the muscles in my feet during the ride. After any long day of walking you feet will be swollen which makes the nerve endings in them a little more sensitive to g forces, personally I don't think it is anything to be worried about unless the pain is unbearable.

vjgx Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Please explain for I have no idea what that means....Basically what's he's saying is that it's perfectly normal and you don't need to worry about it. Although it only happens to me on Batman clones, I never have any problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yeah, I;ve felt it and I hate the feeling. It makes my feet hurt for a split second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disney Dood Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I've been on a few dangle feet coasters. I don't really get that feeling on a floorless (Kraken and B:TDK), and on Mind Eraser I was too busy feeling like I had my ass kicked by Chuck Norris, but on DD, I felt it really badly in my feet going through a corkscrew, but that was it.

kraken613 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 If you have horrible health you shouldnt ride thats on all rides not just inverts. So dose this mean you wont ride Sheikra it has no floor. Or any ride that your feet dont touch the floor because when I was younger my feet barly touched the floor on a B&M sitdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline_Rush Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 I can still ride floorless rides, for some reason there less intense, I can still fit on a ride and Im healthy enough to ride, its just I have this wierd feeling in my feet on dangle feet rides.

IceDragon Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 ^ I don't think you should go out of your way to avoid it... It's only a few positive G's being pumped through your body for a split second. Ride it once, if you don't like the sensation that day, don't do it again. You could've just have an off-day that put all these negative feelings towards it. If you're still worried, consult a doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline_Rush Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Thank you IceDragon, best response I've heard all day, besides Wes, thanks for your comments guys I think I have the feedback and information I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken613 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I get that on the pulling feeling Top Gun The Jet Coaster, Montu, Alpengeist, BM:TR and all inverts ive been on. B&M isnt going to make a dangerous ride. It looks like some ones been lisening to all the bad media attention on rides lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imbordisux Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 No offense to anyone, but if you're not a doctor, then you shouldn't be giving medical advice. Adrenaline_Rush, if you are experiencing any type of pain or discomfort during an experience that isn't supposed to cause pain or discomfort, you should see a doctor. Who knows, maybe if some of those people who have died of heart-attacks while on scary or forceful rides had paid more attention to any warning signs they might have had, maybe they'd still be alive today. Not saying that this is for certain, as I'm sure some of them had no symptoms or were never previously diagnosed with a problem, but it's definitely a possibility. And if there's anything in this thread that is confusing to you, you should have a parent, guardian, or some other responsible adult read it. Don't ignore any potential warning-signs just because you want to go ride your favorite ride - for some people, that "favorite ride" has been their last.

As true as this advice is, you are always more likely to die being hit on the head by a coconut than dying while at a theme park. Moral of the story: stay the F*CK away from coconuts!! As small as this anomalie is, there is still a chance it may happen. Best advice ever: see a doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
