u guys rode in superman the ride @ magic mtn?......it's a speed rush, but the ride extremely sucks....that's my opinion though...u just go up and down...no rush.....u guys should ride X....it's the craziest ride ever....the best ride i've ever ridden in my entire life...

 

[simms]

ahh i'm scared of heights..

I live about 30 minutes from CP, go there at least 2-3 times per summer. I really wish they would stop trying to build the biggest and fastest rides, and concentrate more on building fun rides. Yes, riding the biggest, fastest ride is fun, but only because it's the biggest and fastest. What's the point of the magnum and the millenium force now? I went to Kennywood in Pittsburgh this summer, and those small rides are damn fun! I can only imaging how great new rides at CP would be if they took fun factor into consideration...

What kida force would we feel in those 2.5 seconds??

F=MA

for an 150lb man going 0-122mph in 2.5s (assuming constant acceleration for that time) you should feel about 833lbs of force pressing on your back

Holy sh|t. I rode that a while ago and i was in the front seat on the outside. Every pole seemed like it would hit my head. Maybe thats why they strap you down so good. The ride is freakin slow though. 1st ride-2 hours, 2nd ride-4 hours. Its worth it though.

9.81 m/s/s

122mi./h=54.539m/s

54.539m/s / 2.5s=21.8156m/s/s:Q

I was thinking the same thing... they've got to be using something to accelerate it besides gravity, because you dont accelerate to 122mph in 2.5s of free fall. That would take more like 5.5s, if you neglect the resistance of air... and bugs

The coaster is a hydrolic launch coaster that goes straight up and straight down. There is no lift hill, just 0-122 mph from the start.

I want to see how many broken necks there will be because of this ride.

The "force" would be 1486 "newtons".

X looks dizzying...but iit's really not...it's super duper fun...u have no idea where the ride is taking you....u see sky...ground..sky...ground...all the while ur going through loops and dips and stuff.......goliath's first drop is insane...and it has a neck breaking crazy G turns in the end (more like a corkscrew, except it's upwards corkscrew...)
