Dododnpa does it at about 3g, so I can't see any reason why this couldn't have.
That is verticle g-force, an F1 car pulls lateral g-force when it turns. F1 drivers are trained to withstand 4.5G of lateral force, most average people can not take that. People complain about the force of Wild Mouse rides, but they only pull 1.8 at best.Screaming Coasters said:
I still think the track should have been shaped like a race track and have the very strong brake at the end, for such a fast ride it seems too small.
Some supercars can pull1.5-2 lateral G, the Caparo T1 can pull 3. They use racing seats and racing harnesses, and are still uncomfortable. If a roller coaster went that fast, the force alone will be able to snap some peoples necks, and thats before considering wind and rain hitting them. The brake is there because the ride would pull too many G force in verticle and lateral plains, when it enters the hill, when it reaches the top, and when it turns.

You're talking to me as if I'm thick.
I just pointed out that Dodonpa pulls 3G (yes, vertical, I do know).
I'd also like to point out that Mission Space pulls a sustained 3G for a good minute. So please, don't talk to me as if I'm dumb.
So there is no coaster then that goes round a corner at 180 mph pulling over 3g glad that is sorted 
Erol Mission Space had a high number of deaths I am sure they dont go as fast as it used to, plus again that ride is very different from a coaster. It builds up the speed and does not just whip you into a corner.

I do aplogise neal and my lips are sealed
And Marc, the same with Erol, please dont speak to me asif im stupid because im not, honest
I still think it should have more than a launch! It should maybe go round the whole of the nurburgring, that would be awesome. with afew tight corners

We were on topic.
Mission Space only had one death if I'm not mistaken? But that was because of a medical condition, nothing to do with the ride itself. They have however made one pod slower than the other, so you get a choice before you ride.
This could have easily take a corner, the coaster goes 135mph. I've done 170mph on a motorway and cornered at about 160mph, nothing happened to me.

Its different Erol when the corner is banked and the car rolls with it, plus you were in a nice seat and not having the wind blowing at you. The is where you say it was a convertible lol
Its very different as is Mission Space, I have been on it. If anyones neck was going to go it would be mine, but I was fine. And if I remember your head is supported each side.
I think 2 people died and a huge number of people were sick.

Hmm, Theres always ways...
I mean look at Dodonpa -
It can do it with a 110mph max speed, whats another 25mph? S&S made it and they can do it again.

I can't believe that people are still arguing about the brakes after the launch.
The purpose of this coaster is to simulate an F1 run.
After the station there is a few zig-zag turns to simulate tire warming.
Then comes the launch - F1 car start.
Then the brakes - how many tight turns does an F1 take at top speed??
Brakes are essential for the whole F1 feel!!

^^I'm not surprised. :lol:
At the end of the day, it's about what the park agrees with the designer, not some internet coaster enthusiast who has little/no experience in running that type of business. Can people please get over it
Rant over - I'm glad that the park decided to go with a bit of a coastery section in the end, it really stands out and builds up the adrenaline even more. A ride has be about showmanship and looking intimidating to make it exciting in the first place.
