rcjp Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Have you ever experienced a greyout or even a full blackout? If so, which were the rides that gave you one. I've had two, the first one was when I was riding nitro for the first time. I was sitting in the third row and during the helix I got a slight greyout. The second one was on one of my rides on skyrush, on the turn after the first airtime hill, I was sitting somewhere in the middle. What about you?

coasterbill Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) I've had slight greyouts on Millennium Force at the bottom of the first drop and Nitro in the helix. They're a little more significant on i305. Personally I don't care for them, but I just close my eyes if they start to bother me.

tarheel1231 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Sadly, no. But I'm hoping to ride I-305 and Skyrush for the grey out credit. I think I had one in the back seat of Intimidator before the trims, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomes1225 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Millenium Force after the first drop Mantis after the first loop Sheikra and Kumba slightly Every single ride at Knott's Berry Farm (We had spent the day rock climbing in the desert in 118 degree weather so we were all a little dehydrated) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 The only ride on which I've ever grayed out is I305. The effect lasts from the bottom of the first drop to the top of the next hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 If it's a hot day which is the norm for Texas, I might grey out a little on the helix before the mid brakes on Titan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I don't think I've had a ride on i305 without greying out. Other than that I don't think I've greyed out on any other roller coaster. I used to see stars when going through BLST helix. Sheikra and Kumba slightly While I don't remember greying out on Kumba, I do know it's the only roller coaster that left me disoriented.

arby Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 The only greyouts I've had are on I-305 on the turn after the first drop and Titan on the helix near the end. The only blackouts I've had were from too much alcohol in my younger days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Turbo Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 The first time I rode Goliath at SFMM I greyed out slightly on the helix and the on the first loop in Viper at SFMM. I was in the front and I was bit expecting the sudden force of the loop and I greyed out a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projektion Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Shambhala, on the first drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterWeasel Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Goliath at SFOG in the double helix. Deja Vu at SFMM going backwards through the loop. I305 at East Coast Bash on most of the rides we had on it especially during night ert when we had been out there all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRice92 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 In car 5 of Vortex at Kings Island 3 of my friends and I greyed out in the middle of the Double Loop. That's only happened to us in that specific car, anywhere else on the ride we're all fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmichellex Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Each of these coasters, every time I've ridden, I gray out in these places: Sheikra (BGT) - bottom of first drop into the inversion (never happened on any of my Griffon rides though) Nitro (SFGAdv) - helixes towards the end... big time, every time i305 - most of the first part of the ride, haha, but love it! Bizarro (SFNE) - helixes before the tunnel at the end Goliath & Titan (SFMM & SFOT) - upward helixes The most intense ones for me were i305 and Nitro. I don't mind it though, I really like intense coasters and even the crazy flats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocoaster Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Goliath at MM when it first opened, in the helix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Laser at Dorney Park I305 at Kings Dominion Nitro (in the helix) when I ride it while a little dehydrated. I'm sure there are other coasters where it occurred to me when I was dehydrated but I can't recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angle O. Descent Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I-305 and Goliath (MM) both made me grey out consistently. Millenium Force and Ride of Steel used to but not so much anymore. All were caused by a high-speed turn or helix. I find that turning your head and looking in the direction of where the turn is leading to helps prevent greying out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AusCoasterFan Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 A couple roller coasters have made me see stars like Ninja SFMM, Nemesis Inferno and Nemesis, but the three main ones where I have really genuinely lost vision significantly are: Silver Bullet: Helix before brake run Batman SFMM: Both loops and the helix coming out of the second loop Goliath SFMM: The helix Tatsu: Bottom of the pretzel loop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Been on a lot of insanely forceful coasters but only Titan's upwards helix before MCBR gave me a grey out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Laser at Dorney Park I totally forgot about Laser. Those loops were really intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropzonefan Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Have greyed out on Le.Vampire (BTR clone) during the helix, and on the vertical loop on Skyrider at Canada's Wonderland. Seems that rides where I think I'll grey if it's my first ever ride don't bother me, but the ones that look quite tame usually catch me off guard.

Barge84 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Goliath at SFMM was the first. I-305 during the New Hotness tour in 2012 made me just about black out. I was really dehydrated that day, so I only took 2 rides on it. This year, I rode it about 10 times during Coasting for Kids, and greyed out every time, but not as bad as the previous year. It's my #2 steel now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
