Grayouts and Blackouts

Yeah second loop on Magic mountain for me too.

Also Katun after the first loop every single time.

I'm not exactly sure how but the first drop on Family Adventure ( http://www.rcdb.com/1035.htm?p=1835 ) at Mirabilandia made me grey out too! I think my head was still fragile after Katun.
 
Started seeing black spots on Batman: The Ride, and I think I blacked out on I305. If it wasn't considered a blackout it was pretty damn close.
 
Three times for me:

Nemesis - Back-left seat, exiting the vertical loop, I saw light then completely went.

Waltzers - This was horrible, at a fairground at night, strobe lighting to the max and a big guy constantly spinning us. I couldn't lift my head forward, then I greyed out for a while, come off and threw up. Horrible ride! :cry:

Dragon Khan - Early morning riding after a hearty-breakfast! If it isn't intense enough anyway, but when you're half asleep matters get worse. It hit me whilst exiting the vertical loop and into the dive loop.

^ I've ridden them before and never felt anything. No eye blurring or anything remotely similar feeling. Vortex was the closest I got with the eye blur. My friend Katie tells me that I'll most likely grey-out during I-305, but I have a suspicious feeling that I wont. Who knows, maybe my body can handle higher G-Forces than most others like that one guy who can handle over 12 (not saying I can, but maybe i can handle 4-5 easily and not feel anything) and not black out (Seriously, go look it up. He was on Stan Lee's Superhuman).

Will have to wait and see if I305 can live up to its name force wise

oooooo you have have have ti experience I305!
it is so beyond amazing!! For so many months there were the reports of blacking out and greying out and all that, but I never really thought it happened, more like the GP being stupid and dramatic.
But when you actually get on the ride, at the bottom of the drop (try the back first its the best) and around that turn leading up into the hill, its CRAZY! and do the ride multiple times! I never thought I'd love the feeling of greying out hahaha!! Ive never really greyed out on any coaster I've been on apart from a little bit on MF's first drop and around Nitro's helix. Get back to me when you ride I305, its fantastic.
 
I305 is out of my sights til next year unfortunately *cries* I hope I do finally have my first grey to black out experience on that ride.
 
What the **** is redout? Do your eyes bleed or something? That doesnt sound healthy in any form.

Switching between the hideouts'...
 
A redout is the opposite of a blackout. It is when too much blood rushes to your head (and therefore you see red instead of black). This is caused by too many negative G's.
 
^ Don't talk down on them, the newer Maurer Söhne X-cars I just rode produce loads of positive g's that kept me greying out every time...
