Fluch von Novgorod, Eurofighter, Hansa Park

Also, aren't all trains wider than the tracks anyway? Otherwise you'd be able to touch the track and bogeys?

Most (almost all modern coasters, I can't think of any still being built that aren't), but, many of the old Vekomas and Arrows have track wider than the trains, Corkscrew and Loch Ness Monster proves this on RCDB. That's why you can see the wheel covers with a big "DON'T STEP HERE" on them.

Also, the Togo pipeline coasters and Bobsleds definitely aren't :p.
 
If you want real forces you need to ride the dodgems at Tusenfryd, they totally owned us all, :(
 
I measure the g's on Titan @ SFOT...however I no longer have the graph to share with ya'll.

From my data, the bottom of the drop spiked at 4g's, the first helix sustained 3.5 g's, and the second helix sustained ~3.2 g's. Remember, it is not about the number, it is all about the duration of the g's.

Of course stats list the highest force value, so they list the highest spike...it doesn't mean that the helices are where that force is. The reason they feel stronger is because the forces are sustained. The spike of 4g's is just so sudden that it doesn't feel quite as powerful (although you still definitely feel force in the tunnel/bottom of drop).
 
This ride is looking really cool.

It seems to have a few really nice features. Hopefully it will look nice when it's all finished too.
 
This looks insane, it will definatly be better then Speed in my opinion.
Also I have already booked tickets to Hamburg this Summer so it will be my first coaster of my Germany Tour :--D
Can't wait!

Love it... That tiny tunnel at the top is awesome. Its only a little part of the ride but it could add quite a bit to the experience.
 
I seriously cannot wait to see what the theming actualy turns out like on this coaster, it looks good during construction, imagine it when its done...
 
Just a couple of weeks ago during HIP, ~ 8PM, with the safety brake fully on.

I talked to an overnight engineer that used to work at the park and he said before the safety brake started to slow the train to ~5mph and before the lift was slowed, it pulled around 4.2-4.4 in both helices.
