Does anyone know how much Gs montezooma's revenge pulls?

On the first loop? If anyone knows, please post. Yeah, lame topic, but still, eh, I'm curious.

I haven't any g-logs from Montezoomas Revenge, but I have one from the Shuttle loop at Nagashima Spa Land and my brother have one from Greased Lightning at SFKK.

 

First up is From Nagashima Spa Land

 

 

This one is from SFKK

 

 

And from these logs I would say that they pull around 5.5 g as a maximum force, but it could easily peak at over 6 g's.

But if you compare the logs that we have from the same type of coasters (clones in fact) then you notice that they are pretty different. This is because I sat pretty far back in the train when I logged mine and my brother sat more towards the front when logging the one at SFKK.

So you see that there is a mayor difference in forces depending on where you sit in the train.

How much of these G forces are sustained and how much are basically noise from the bumping?

If you think a shuttle looper has bumps, you obviously haven't ridden one. Lol, no offence.

 

P.S-Thanks for the G-force possibilities, Loefet.

Montezooma has smacked me upside the head a few times-never as bad as Boomerang, though.

[Rct3man777]

I'm guessing you were in a bad position?

^^ How could Montezooma's Revenge smack you in the head? Unlike its cousin 50 miles north in Valencia, there aren't any OTSRs on it.

Isn't the one at Nagashima SpaLand a flywheel model, while 6FKK's is a weight drop model?

 

I guess that would have more effect on acceleration forces than positive g's though...

 

I wonder if 6FKK's GL being relocated and cobbled together from other parts has an effect on the difference in g-force readings?
