On a NASA page, Mission Specialist Koichi Wakata states that g-forces felt by astronauts during a Shuttle launch are a max of 3-g's, and then only for the last minute or so!
So, Jeff Briggs' technical data is correct.
The Power Tower acceleration IS 4-g's when getting 'launched' upwards like Jeff did. I've measured it!
1. dont talk about G-forces and astronauts unless you know about them,
they experience up to 12G in some areas, mostly 7-9 during take-off.
2. so you expect to be put more G-forces on in an amusement park then people do with years of training and a billion dollar space ship launching them into space, HA! 2-3 G's my sorry ass .
and 2. when you get shot up it's nothing like being in a car, when you're in a car and you accelerate you travel in the X axis not the Y axis, like you just did smart1
@p8ntballplaya1995 its a friggin programme....sheesh....but i do agree with you on the amount of g-force a shuttle/rocket launch has...yeah its about 7-9 lateral G's...and the power tower is about 3G's...nowhere near the equivalent of a shuttle launch....if hes gonna present a program about space and physics he needs to get his facts right!

The 'microgravity' time also happens when he is still going up towards the top of the ride - when he's "falling up".
