Blood Rush...

[socalMAN123]

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.

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.

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.

I'm not sure if it's normal, but if it's painful(and you already have the credit), skip it.

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.

Because a credit is always something worth ridking your life for, right?

Wow, I never knew this many hypochondriacs existed on the TPR forums.

The answer to that question is a resounding YES
