verticalzero Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Have you been on a ride as above with so much force you nearly blackout.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncf Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I think it is. But Top Gun at PGA comes close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Goliath's sin't as bad as some .. but it holds it a bit longer than most do. Â Titan's was alot stronger before the midcourse was turned up, as well as Shockwave, Mindbender (West Edmonton) and Superman: Ultimate Flight. Those only hold the G's for a second or even less.

Hicko Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Nemesis's famous helix back row is forceful enough, But in the rain!! Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfBeastSucks Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 When I experenced Goliath's helix last month, I thought it was weak compared to what everybody says. I think Raging Bull's ending helix is a bit more forceful than Goliaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollocoast Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 ^ I think your nuts  Goliath is definitely powerful, but Mindbender in Edmonton is by far the most intense ride ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1shy Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 When I went to SFGA 3 or 4 years ago... I blacked out on Nitro's helix... Â Sad... I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 ^ Actually, Nitro's helix is pretty intense, though not up to Goliath standards. Â I asked this on another helix thread, actually: Who really, really enjoys intense-G helices? I mean, I've learned to endure 'em, but to me, the best part (especially on Goliath) is the release of coming out of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollermonkey Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Goliath is very intense, as are the helices on the Beasts, but the only lateral G that ever made me black out was on Kumba. It didn't happen until my seventh back-to-back ride, and I was moving one row back at a time. I was woken up by the brakes at the end. Â I've started to "gray" out from positive G's on a couple of rides outside the US, Douple Loop at Fuji-Q did it to me three different times, for example.

MagnumForce Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Mindbender at SFoG and Raptor both have some really intense helices. Â If you want to go with most intense eleements, I absolutely cannot tolerate the soul sucking power of the S:UF pretzel's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterlicious Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Hmm... I havent really been in a good helix... but I sure felt Raptor pulling when i was on it... but I havent been on many coasters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I think there are more intense parts of coasters, but as was said previously, I think it has to do with the duration of the helix. I think it has the highest "Sustained" G's of any coaster I have been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfmmFREAK Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 the first loop on batman the ride at SFMM. not so much of a black out, but a grey out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterkid20 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Helix wise I would tie Titan's first helix to Goliath's finale helix, both are super intense. Those 2 are probably the most intesne helixes out there, but i can't really back that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Nobody mentioned this yet. Â The most intense helix I have ever been on is on Kumba at BGT. So many G's against your head, it hurts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Nitro's Helix is pretty intense. But nothing beat how intense a pretzel loop is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 ^ When I rode S:UF, I was prepared for really heavy Gs in the loop, but I found it nothing much, really, and over in a second. Certainly not up to Goliath. Actually, the most sustained, grueling Gs I've ever experienced on a ride was on Mission:Space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 ^ When I rode S:UF, I was prepared for really heavy Gs in the loop, but I found it nothing much, really, and over in a second. Certainly not up to Goliath. Actually, the most sustained, grueling Gs I've ever experienced on a ride was on Mission:Space. Â Yeah Mission: Space is pretty intense due to the length of the G forces. For me the most insane is the Superman: Ultimate Flight in the back row. That pretzel section was intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo41190 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 S: UF isnt that intense. but when i rode Goliath in July it was more duration that force. but i think Hades has the most positives G's (for a woody). I dont know, sometimes i black out on the Whizzer  Im weak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Yeah, Goliath is the most intense helix i've done. I've got to go on more Coasters. Kevin"I really do!"Bujold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Well, I've been on Titan, and though that thing has a lot of force, it's not the most "intense" helix I've ever experienced. Ever been on the Beast? I somtimes question if there will ever be a helix as insane as that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
