So I guess the whole B&M "forceless" thing was just as we thought.

Does it also bother you that riders don't actually ride inverted coasters in an inverted position or that stand-up coasters actually have seats or that wooden coasters actually have steel pieces (especially those with steel supports)? Maybe I just have other things to worry about than terminology.

None of those things bother me as much as people that have to disect everything I say because they have some kind of problem with me. You do have more things to worry about terminology... such as the things that I say, apparently.
It's a discussion board, Rob. Forgive me for using it for its intended purpose.

Space Mountain at DL is a great example of low speed, yet high force.

Thanks sexay! ;)

The ultimate extreme example IMO is something like LoCoSuMo...slow speeds can provide some VERY strong forces...track banking and turning radius are important things to consider...Anton did! ;)

Of course, I think "family hypercoaster" is an EXCEPTIONALLY accurate term for something over 200' tall that has ONLY floats. Leaving my seat slightly to hover above it for a second or two is WAYYYY different from being tossed into the lapbar like a rag doll.

Hail Goliath,. the coaster that saved B&M from another 4-5 years of me *roasting* them... :)

The Georgia Scorcher is still one of the rides i've been on that packs an enormous amount of Positive forces
Scorcher is a great ride. It has some pretty intense moments and a great layout for a small coaster. Probably my favorite standup, right before Riddler. Actually, those are the only two standups I can tolerate- guess I either love 'em or hate 'em.
