Dainty Aqua Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I have never experience black or grey out to date but then again, since I dont have that many ride experiences compared with most of you on this board, I am probably not in a position to comment. But I will get nausea if i got on those flat rides that spun round & round & round ALOT! I will usually come out with wobbly legs & the horrible impulse to puke. :?

shepp Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Like many, closest I came to greying out was Goliath's helix. Compared to that, Nitro's was a piece of cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatOne Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Laser at Dorney Park always gets me on the second loop. It's the only ride that's done it to me every time. It's a brown out more than a black-out. Double Loop at Geauga Lake got me as a kid a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J man Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I don't know if this happens all the time, but the last time I was on Revolution @ SFMM the train entered the tunnel and everyone blacked out! We couldn't see anything until we were out of the tunnel. But I almost blacked out coming out of the first loop on Desert Storm. Other than that I always black out and sometimes fall over when I sit at the computer too long and get up too fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelydr Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 No, i havent. Goliath at SFMM on the helix is about as close as I have ever felt to blacking out...but thats about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvcoasterguy Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Put me down as one of the Millenium Force black outers. From the bottom of the first drop to the tunnel. Also, it's happened to me on Hulk during the cobra roll and Kumba for the first two inversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichRollerCoast Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I blacked out on Shockwave at SFGam before they took it out and that was twice and when we were doing commercial shooting on Millenium Force after about 12 times I was blacking out half the ride.

J man Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Okay you can add me to the list of people who have blacked out on Goliath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdanny Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I haven't blacked out. Does your weight have anything to do with blacking out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastGunslinger Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I haven't but a friend of mine blacked out on 'Lazer' at Dorney Park. He is a rather tall guy and he said it had happened before (something to do with his hight or so he claims). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfmmFREAK Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I haven't blacked out. Does your weight have anything to do with blacking out? no its when the verticle g's push down on you so mutch that less and less blood flows to your brain. i've gotten tunnel vision on the helix on goliath, thats about it.

okinawaboy11 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I've greyed out, but not blacked out. I saw it all on the National Geographic Channel. Yes there is a difference. Blacking out, you either don't remember, or faint. Greying out, is when you can't see anything. It's happened to me multiple times. Always on Two Face's return run. Sometimes on Superman: RoS's pointless first helix. Oh, and on most carnival rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Never had a blackout, but I did get tunnel vision for the first time in the back seat of B:TR at SFStL last Sunday (July 9, 2006 I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sabo Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I know this topic is about 'blackouts' on coasters, but I would be curious on a number count with Disney's M-S. I believe I almost greyed-out on Nessie when I first rode it. I barely made the height limit and that first-drop and loop were pretty insane at the time.

dwerling Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Every time i ride Incredible Hulk I "grey out". Right at the beginning going through the zero-g roll. Its amazing, the consistant rate this happens to me. Another one I grey out on is Double Loop at Geauga Lake. Those vertical loops got me and my wife seeing black for a few seconds.

chaos Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I've only greyed out once on Goliath's helix, but that was because I hadn't eaten for half the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdanny Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I think I have a high G-Force tolorance. I do MindBender(SFOG) and don't black-out on the loops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgwfreak Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 A girl in our party blacked out on Batman at SFOG. It was very scary, her head was flopping around and such for several seconds. She could have been seriously hurt. She has vertigo. Why in the world she went to an amusement park is beyond me. I grey out on Face/Off sitting backwards through the first inversion. So I always sit the other direction now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Every time i ride Incredible Hulk I "grey out". Right at the beginning going through the zero-g roll.

chavslayer Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I used to grey out through the loops on Magnum Force, especially on the first two, back seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I blacked out from the bottom of Millennium Force's drop up untill the first tunnel. Yea same here, I was sitting in the last seat and its only happened once out of the probably 20+ times ive ridden it, although that was the 1st time I had ever ridden in the back seat. The only other one it has ever happened to me was on Goliath at SFMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRollergod Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Ok guys this may sound wierd but it works... To avoid blackouts and becoming sick drink a glass of milk! It works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
