socalMAN123 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 On my experience with inverted coasters (Batman, Dueling Dragons, Silver Bullet), I haven't felt this. However, I do feel g-force on my chest in my seat. But that might be because I'm short. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemmy Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 It isn't an indicator of high blood pressure. I frequent the doctor and am very healthy and in certain spots of inverted coasters I experience the same feeling. It is only on the most forceful spots though.

DerekRx Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Woohoo! I'm a doctor (though not of cardiology or anything health related like that) and I can input some warning. Don't ride danglefeet coasters if you get tingly sensations. I used to have an evil twin (or was he the good twin?), Kerr Ed Ruth and he died suddenly of 2 fatal blood clots in his femoral arteries. We still suspect it was from the 36 rides in a row he had on Montu. Oh how I miss beating on that scrawny little twerp. In all seriousness, that sensation you feel is all the blood rushing to your feet due to your position below the track. With all the positive G forces, the blood goes to the extremities quicker, and the tingling sensation is your body re-establishing blood equilibrium. Please PM me your address so I can send you my consultation bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBird Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I'm not sure if it's normal, but if it's painful(and you already have the credit), skip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I've only felt this on Top Gun's final helix (It's not painful though), but theres nothing to worry about. B&M wouldn't make these things to rip your feet/legs off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost007jas Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I'm not sure if it's normal, but if it's painful(and you already have the credit), skip it. Because a credit is always something worth ridking your life for, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Wow, I never knew this many hypochondriacs existed on the TPR forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
