Maximum G Force Records

[DelPiero]

Been wondering about this for a while, and stumbled across this - http://rollercoaster.wikia.com/wiki/Highest_G-Force_on_a_Roller_Coaster
Which states that Tower of Terror pulls the most G's at 6.3.
Same website states that Dodonpa has the Launch G record at 2.7

But I couldn't find any records regarding highest (or lowest) negative G and Lateral G, anyone know?

I think Skyrush had the highest/lowest (however you say that) negative Gs, but I forgot where I found that.

^ apparently it ejects at -2g, that's referenced in a few places but it wasn't referred to as a record on any of them, not that I've found anything which states lower forces.

Didn't those early looping coasters pull out 12 Gs? People rode them once and spent the rest of the week in the hospital.

El Toro's ejector hill has been recorded at -2.2 Gs when it's running well.

Not sure about laterals but I think the Wild Mouses pull like 1.5 Gs in those hairpin turns?

I had no idea about this, know what i'll be scouring the internet for tonight (no, not porn Darren).

Got a link to the Toro reference?
I was guessing that a mouse would have the highest lats, but as there are so many I was wondering if a specific one has the record, say Blackpool?

Highest lateral g on a wild mouse? I beg to differ, how about ultimate =p

No link but I was told by park engineers when working there this year a few times.

I remember Moonsault Scramble pulled 6.2 Gs, and Mindbender at WEM pulls 6 Gs. I can't remember anything else.

Tatsu at the bottom of the pretzel pulls 6.

In a similar vein Superman can pull 5s.

According to google Kingda Ka hits 5 Gs but I'm not to sure how accurate that is.

I thought the highest G-Force was on that in-house dive eurofighter in south africa (Johanesburg?) that pulled a 6.6 at the bottom of the drop

^I assume you mean Tower of Terror? Like DelPiero said in the first post, it pulls 6.3 (at least according to RCDB http://rcdb.com/1481.htm)

Sorry, at work and was drawing a massive blank. Thank you.
