According to this website, http://www.coaster-network.com/bm/intamin/mind.htm , Mindbender pulls 5.9 Gs. Is this true?

Maybe you can ask the park. They might know.

Let the bears pay the Bear Tax, I pay the Homer Tax.

That sounds like an awful lot of G's for it to be pulling. I can't remember it pulling that many for a long period of time if it does.

What is life without ups and downs!?!?

Also it says its speed is 6mph!

Hmmm....which mindbender, the West Edmonton Mall has loads of G's, The one at SFOG has less G's.

5.9 g's seems like simply too much in this day-and-age of taming coasters.

Remember that Schwartzkopf designed it, and he is notorious for High-G rides due to his hesitance to utilize CAD. I think it's plausible.

Yes the one in the mall has around 6 or 6 1/2!!!! It's true!!!

is mind bender even a good ride? i remember when i was like six (the start of my coaster obsession) i would look in books and i thought that mindbender was really high!! but now its ONLY 80ft!! i know its old but still, in '77 schwartzkoph built revolution wich was somewhere around 115ft high.

I think we should remember that it was a Schwarzkopf designed coaster... It does pull abotu 6 G's. Think thats a lot? Texas Tornado at SFAW pulls 6.5 G's.

Quite intense I must say.

The Mindbender is probably one of the greatest steel rides I've been on. You do pull TONS of G's, especially around the 3rd loop. And don't worry, what it lacks in height, it makes up for in insane drops. This is one awesome coaster!
