And what is the amount?
Thanks for you help....
But in all seriousness, nobody really knows all the G force stats for every coaster. They are not easy to come by. From the accident report on SROS at SFNE I think that coaster pulls -1.2 or -1.4 in spots. That's really the only coaster I know of that has factual information available about the G forces.

What were the stats for PowderKeg Raven?
I know of no woodies designed to go below 0g and there are only a couple steel that I think may be below 0g. SFNE's S:ROS is one of them.
I highly doubt anything aproaches anywhere near -1g as RavenTTD posted -0.2 is probably the max out there.

-Raven, 5th Drop
-GA Cyclone, 4th Drop
-Cyclops, The Drop
-Collosus, the Double Down(Extinct now)
I'd imagine one of these would take the top spot, and generally the force is much harsher on these types of drops in the back seat.

I disagree. I think most of Intamins hyper/giga coasters come close to -1G in the front and back. Expedtion GeForce especially. B&M is probably a bit less, but even Nitro - which is not known for the greatest airtime - has to pull at least -.5g's in the front and back. Maybe even more.
But obviously I have no idea for sure. I'm no expert. ;) *** Edited 4/16/2005 3:54:36 AM UTC by MrX***
edit: I believe the accident report for the KBF hydro listed the last few rows at over (or under) -1 G. *** Edited 4/16/2005 4:02:45 AM UTC by RavenTTD***

Wouldn't a coaster need to go below 0 to lift you off your seat? I don't know but that's what it sounds like to me.
Exactly. 0G is weightlessness - floater air. It would not push you against your restraint, but rather just give you that "butterflies" feeling.
About the KBF Hydro - I would say that most modern coasters pull at least -1G on the first drop. Nitro, MF, SROS, Goliath, Titan etc. All those major coasters whip you over with some intense force in the backseat.
I'd second that on Raven, GA Cyclone, and Cyclops's "the drop".
This ride is very similar to Colossus (SFMM) in design (it was built by IAD while Colossus was built by NAD). I believe it held the record as the tallest coaster in the world for a few years at least. It was built in 1964 and stands 110' high.
The strongest negative G's I've felt has to be on SROS at SFNE.
I’ve heard That skyrush used to hit -2.1 g’s before they added some trims. I went on it before they added them and it was brutal
