I've found that Jubilee Odyssey and Stealth tie for first place at 4.8g each. Does anyone know of a roller coaster that produces more? Only interested in coasters, not flat rides.
Thanks.
That's where rides like Nemesis come into it, according to sources Nemesis doesn't pull anything more than 3.5G (?), but due to it's compact layout you're pulling these forces, and sustaining them for greater periods of time then say the 5.2 Spike you get on a Boomerang (I think that is pulled when the front of the train plummets through the first part of the cobra roll forwards).Nemesis Inferno said:The main question is on these rides with high forces is how long do they last for?
Saying you get 4.5g is all well and good, but if you only get that for a millisecond then well it's not that good now...

I find the majority of inverted coasters tend to pull good sustained G's, and within the UK only Nemesis/Nemesis: Inferno spring into mind for that; I'm sure there are other rollercoasters that pull decent sustained G's, maybe Odyssey and Knightmare?
I'm 99% sure that the Boomerang clones "are" the most forceful rollercoasters in UK, And I also believe the common Vekoma SLC clones (Infusion for e.g.) pull around 5G, but I'm not quite sure on that...Tom Green said:I agree with you that sustained force like Nemesis is much more enjoyable, but for my list I am looking for maximum g-force, no matter how short.
Jubilee Oddyssey is quite intense in many places, I would say it's more intense than Nemesis but the layout isn't as good and you don't fear for your feet smashing into things like you STILL do on Nemesis.
