Im more of a Teacups guy.

Man, not me.  Those things are vicious.  There's no ride in the park (except the Tomahawk) that causes lunch to want to fight it's way out faster than having to do the Teacups/Strawberry with the kids.

I haven't found any RC over here that I would be allowed to ride on since I was 17... which makes it easy to claim "You're afraid to ride on THAT? Chicken...Of course  I would do it... If I were allowed to" :D

I can't go on a roller coaster without my neck hurting for the rest of the week.  I think it has to do with constantly looking around to keep track of the "bandit" :D

GLOC starts at 5.5 Gs but if you push and hold down aie you can push it to 6-7 Gs after that you will need a G suite witch only covers you to 9gs,unless you push you can reack 10 before GLOC. What was the g force of thecoaster

Yep, I'll be headed there soon myself, only about 2 hours from the house.  It may be my new favorite coaster, the Griffon at Busch Gardens is getting a little old.  I always end up on it about 3 or 4 times a year.

Went to Kings Dominion on Tuesday with hymijr's band class and got to ride some rollercoasters. There was one that was called the Intimidator, after a 305 ft drop, you go into a hard right turn at 90+ miles per hour, at this point is where i experienced a g-induced black out, it lasted about 10 seconds until i woke up and got my bearings. Hymijr also experienced some tunnel vision during the ride. Overall it was a pretty interesting senstation to black out and then realize what had happened. Here is hyperlink of a animation of the ride.

Found a live video (as opposed to a 3D one)... my stomach turns just watching this.  This is on my list of rides for the summer now!
