Have you heard of G force?

Theres this new ride in Drayton Manor Which is called G Force. I looked on this newspaper the other day and it said that it was 1 of the BEST roller coasters ever!! Some of you might know what it is cause it is very new any its unique as instead of having shoulder restrains it has these new hip restrains and also if you're like kinda big they have these chairs that could fit like the fatest women inside !(wel doubt it ) The lift hill goes upside down and it lets you move you're upper body and you'relegs freely. Check it out on the web www.draytonmanor.co.uk it might not be big but its suposed to be intense

I'm pretty sure not up side down, but past vertical, because I saw a video of it testing a few weeks ago. Anyway, it did look awesome!

The only problem i should say is theres no themeing. i dont know if they are going to put in a theme or are they going to leave it as it is but surely it would be better with the theme

I have spoken to a fair few people who have ridden this coaster and the opinions have been mixed to say the least. For example one person told me that it was one of the best coasters in the UK, while another told me it was nothing special. I will be reserving judgement until I ride it in October. One thing I can say is that I'm more exited at the prospect of riding G-Force than I was for Rita.

It lokos pretty cool, weird though. The POV video on the web site gives a good idea of the ride. Probably good air on the hill.

I didn't know that something could be both ugly and cool looking at the same time. That's amazing. I'll say this about coasters built overseas, they do stuff that parks here haven't done or wouldn't even bother trying ever. Theyr are innovative to say the least.

I went on it yesterday and yes the lift hill does go up side down. What an intense ride. I love the point where you reack the end of the lift hill as it goes up side down its amazing

Yes, the lift (humpty-bump lift is the name) does invert. Some of those transitions would be really painful if it weren't for the lapbars. I think we have a thread about this coaster (or at least the 3 X-Car coasters), and they all look really cool. I think this one is the best of the 3, even if it is the shortest.

I never knew it was called a humpty bump anyway the lapbar actually holds you in so tight that when I went over that humpty bump i never even felt as if i was going up a bit if you know what i mean i would expect that anyway but imo it is really safe
