G FORCE (Ground Views) Drayton Manor UK

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mesmolan... G Force is a steel roller coaster designed by German company Maurer Söhne and opened in 2005. It replaced the Klondike Gold Mine (previously the Python) that used to be in the area in previous years. G Force is the second X-Car coaster to be built after the prototype in Skyline Park, in Germany, called Sky Wheel. The coaster train has a hip restraint (instead of the usual over the shoulder restraint) and 'Big Boy' seats that are capable of safely holding larger riders.After a short drop out of the station the train negotiates a 'Humpty Bump Lift' which is a 180 degree chain lift, where riders hang upside down as they are lifted to 23 m. The ride includes a camelback hill, a loop and a new inversion known as the 'Bent Cuban Eight' an element that is modelled on aerobatic manoeuvres.G Force riders experience 4.3g during its 385 m long ride with speeds of up to 70 km/h (43 mph).The height retriction for this ride is 1.3m.
