I think this ride looks like it could be alot of fun. Looks like it will have good interaction with some of the surroundings

Your arms won't be the problem, as your upper body will be angled up and to the left, where there's plenty of space.southend_marc said:Just dont put your arms up
Spud said:Yeah there should be enough clearence for the car to fit down on second thoughts. Does look like it'll be close though.
However, Eurofighter cars are generally wider than the track on which they run. The train will fit, but it'll be closer than you think.coasterdude_1 said:Remember that the coaster sits up on top of its wheel assemblies, so the clearance will be much greater a foot above the track.
The S:UF at GAdv, only pulls 4 g's on it's pretzel, and I'm pretty sure that the figure of the first one in Georgia is way over the top. And yes Schwarzkopf loopers pulls over 5 g's so does most Intamin coasters as well.UC said:Since you brought up G forces, I'll let you know that regulations here vary by state. I know that in New Jersey, the law is that you cannot sustain G forces more than 4 Gs, and I believe you're allowed to spike (i.e. very brief moment) up to 6.
Most states follow this rule, although there are exceptions. It is rumored that SFOG's S:UF actually spikes at around 6.3-6.5 Gs at the bottom of its pretzel loop, and Schwarzkopf coasters are notorious for routinely pulling 5+ G's on their loops.
According to some other measurement on Goliath MM, then it only pulls a maximum of 3-3.5 g's. And you are right that length is definitely a big factor of the intensity of the Helix.UC said:Having ridden Goliath (and Titan, for that matter) I can assure you that the ride only pulls about 4.5 G's - the reason it feels stronger is due to the fact it's sustained.
