Not sure what an F-1 is but that was an F-18, riding with the Blue Angels! Kelly Clarkson puked during her flight btw

I've done over 4gs on the Mission to Space ride at Epcot, pretty badass! Also have been weightless in military flight, they don't care so much about turbulence

I felt that way when you laid down the hammer in your 422 on County Road 89.

Some old chick died after that ride! She had some kind of medical condition or something. I laughed at the puke bags they had in it.

Quite a few people have actually, or were atleast sent to the hospital. It's so bad they're building a non moving version of the ride. I was dizzy the first 3 times I rode it.

I'm wondering if the passengers get a G suit on the ride alongs?

MrDude, it's a ride that opened a couple of years ago at Epcot in Orlando. It simulates a rocket launch and going into orbit. It's made up like a cockpit in a spaceship and has a monitor in front of you that looks fairly realistic. You go on a mission to Mars through an asteroid field. It hits you with close to 4gs and a couple of negative gs before it's over. The seats vibrate, it's loud and moves FAST.
