Enjoy!


BTW this is the first in a series of MetallicA themed coasters.

Very good ride. G's got a little extreame in a few spots. (Yes I know its a flying coaster, they did get exteame when it should be rather normal for inverts)

Hope there isn't a lawsuite for the use of the Metalica name.

The g-forces experienced on this ride would do nothing to the rider since he/she is lying on his/her back. On an invert the g's would be too intense since that would be vertical g's. On flyers you lay on your back so that you experience acceleration and deceleration g's. You can withstand more acceleration and deceleration g's than vertical. Race car drivers experience around 120 g's on impact. Now the restraints are a total different story but lets just say that I developed super strong materials for the restraints.

Pretty cool overall. Good speed, elements, and smoothness. You also get bonus points for naming it after my favorite CD of all time. :P I'm not too convinced that 5 G's laying on your stomach wouldn't hurt, though.
