Force in Newtons would certainly require more technical data, but acceleration in g's is easily calculated with top speed and time to accelerate.

It's goting to be a S&S quantum coaster that will be 10ft - 10,000 ft simultaneously, and goes between -5 and 2506 mph all while being powered by alien technology - Of course
I know this just has to be true, I heard it from my Fiance's hairsyylist's uncle's brother's College roommate's mother's kindergarden student whose dad work with a guy who knows someone who personally Knows Stan, and has the inside information.
But just wait for the 10-d coaster coming in 2007. *** Edited 8/2/2004 4:09:41 PM UTC by Danimal***

What about this type of coaster it says it goes 450ft high, probably a long shot though since this is 3000ft long.http://www.interactiverides.com/pages/Coasters.html
Looks like a sweet ride and a great possibility

As much as I don't believe this is going to happen, there is no sure way of ruling it out. Anyone remember back in 2002 when SFoG was "rumored" to get the US's first B&M Flyer? Well I do. There was all talk about "It wouldn't go to SFoG if SF got it... Alton Towers has a 2-year copyright on it... blah blah blah," and look what happened? So you never know.
I'm sure they(other manufacturers) do it, but if you look at the pics of TTD when it was being constructed you'll notice that they wrote their numbers on the flat circular stubs(yay I have no coaster construction abilities). If you look at the pics of the SFGAdv coaster on East Coast Coasters, you'll notice that there is writing on the exact same place. Co-inky-dinky?
MagnumAllan: In order to go the torque route, you'd still need to figure out the mass of the train, to figure out the linear force being applied by the drum.
<- also not a physics major, but paid attention and really liked it.
