What are the Highest Possible G-forces in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2? 

Sign at the entrance: "To ride this coaster you must be a fighter pilot, an astronaut or a silicon based lifeform."

Coaster enthusiasts: "That ride is so forceless, it's boring and mild"

"Which is even faster than Usain Bolt can run." That line got me.

Roller Coaster: _has G-forces so strong it should immediately blow someone apart_ The guests: throw up, "Roller Coaster 1 was great"

Just for context, an average real person may experience problems with forces greater than 6g, and anything higher than 10g is likely fatal without intense training.

I love how in the "slow mo" the caoster's cars are anywhere but on the track and the entire train jumps along the track 20m every frame

I love how with the game starts struggling to keep up with the ludicrous speeds you can achieve with cheats, so the coaster starts vaguely drifting around the track

In RCT I'm all about making sure I hit the customer's ideal g-force limit, G-spot, for a pleasurable park going experience!

Big applause to the brake engineer who gets the job to design the brakes for all Marcel´s roller coaster designs

I love how no matter how high the G forces and speeds go, the excitement level never exceeds "Medium".

"After we have scraped your remains from the moon..." That line got me so bad LMAO

Just to note, the cheated coaster has such high stats that despite the stat penalties, it actually achieves a not entirely shit excitement rating.

This is a classic mark of a "good" youtuber.. When stuff like "What's the highest/most extreme [thing] we can do" is a late-ended release after all your other content, rather than the FIRST thing you come up with. Every low-effort youtuber basically lives off of videos like this, it's just satisfying to see one made by marcel as a casual video made from genuine curiosity, as opposed to the mindless "You'll NEVER beleive what happens next!" content you'd see released by other peeps.

With the cheated coaster you'd just be a blood splatter a couple hundred meters away from the coaster lol I wish we had gotten some comparisons on what the G forces actually mean compared to different things. Fighter pilot, Space rocket launch, car accident, things of that nature

Whatever is left of the guests at the end of the ride is then ejected from the vehicle by the amazingly powerful station brakes. A specific scene from The Expanse comes to mind... 🤔 I wonder what the G-force numbers would be if the game counted that.

My favorite ride to exert max g-forces on guests is a ride popularized by streamer, Vargskelethor Joel, it's called, "DA PO PO BE FAST ON YO ASS." It's a looping rollercoaster with two large turn pieces, a small right loop, a small left loop, and two more large turn pieces. When it is set to powered launch mode (passing station), launches at 573mph, and has over 5 laps, it has almost 40 positive vertical Gs.

"Introducing the Air Powered Vertical Coaster" *pain of realization* I also love how the final coaster still has a medium excitement level.

G forces were as high as the amazement that brings the heartline coaster, you should make a video of how a great coaster it is!

Finally, time to make the euthanasia coaster look like a junior coaster by comparison

For context: At about 3-4 G's; your going to need to do some leg squeezes to stay conscious for a decent period of time, this is also about the same amount of G's that an astronaut will experience as they enter orbit, although they are lying down during it so its a bit different. At around 6G's; you can no longer breath normally due to your diaphragm not being strong enough to overcome the forces, although theres still methods of breathing, most involve an oxygen tube and making a specific noise to force air out of your lungs. This is also the G force that a Ju-87 (Stuka) dive bomber pilot would experience in WW2, although they had automatic systems in the aircraft to pull out of the dive because the pilot *did* black out. At 10 G's you reach the limitation of many early fighter aircrafts airframe (the components of the aircraft would bend / snap) and at 18 G's its basically agreed that if your in an airplane your as good as dead since you generally need to be awake to pull up. The AIM-9B Sidewinder (one of the earliest missiles used in A2A combat) can pull a max of 10 G's, the AIM-9H could do 20, the AIM-9L could do 30, a variant of the AIM-120 AMRAAM can allegedly do up to 35 depending on airpseed, and the current AIM-9X can do an estimated (but still somewhat classified) 65G's maximum. Needless to say, these coasters are absolutely insane EDIT: To put this into perspective; the F-22 (Which is "Hypermanouverable" is rated to just 9G's (depending on fuel load and weight), the F-35 is rated for about 9.5, the Su-27 is capable of an alleged 9, and the Su-57 ("muh hypermanouverability stronk" russian enjoys can rejoice) is said to be capable of over 9.0 (although its very likely thats propoganda since they also claim to have more than 70 of them and as far as is known they have at most 40). Aircraft often can survive 1.5-2x their rated G pull, but modern aircraft use a computer system to make sure they dont overload on G forces, so unless the pilot turns that setting off, they wont pull more. Oh, and negative G's are significantly harder to deal with

That maximum weight coaster reminded me of my aunt. She's a big lady, but she's an absolutely *amazing* cyclist. Once she gets goin', she can coast for actual miles, it's just insane how much momentum she has

Something about the way you delivered the line "after we've scraped your remains from the moon" really cracked me up. Great video Marcel

“365km/h, that’s even faster than Usain Bolt can run.” Dead, i’m literally dead

Always thought the corkscrew were the major culprit for massive lateral G numbers. Maybe a video about the different inversion pieces and their effect on stats might be interesting.

Marcel is like if Cave Johnson and the euthanasia coaster designer did a fusion dance. Why build a coaster with 110 Gs of differential force? Why *_not?_*

This video reminds me of The Euthanasia Coaster.

You had me crying 😂 So many good lines in here! Also seeing that train hit 1500 kph had me dying! 🤣

I love the 3ish excitement rating on all of the insane coasters.

08:17 watch at 0.25 speed, not only does Marcel sound super drunk, but it's also cool to see how the game draws the train in different frames

It is odd that in RCT g forces are directly proportional to speed. In real life if you are going in a circle then the acceleration you'd feel is equal to the square of your speed divided by the radius of the circle.

I knew I was in for a treat as soon as I heard you say, "we don't do that here". Of course, your videos are always a treat regardless! Next, you could look into how frequently you can drown guests without losing park rating. For better effect, make the water red and sacrifice them to a volcano! How to push your radical cult agenda without being placed on an international list. How many inexplicable disappearances can you have until the FBI catches on. Etc.

2:24 "We have now entered deadly territory..." Well... I'm pretty sure in real life you would've entered that territory with your looping coaster at the beginning :D

I love that this old ass game endures so much. I haven't played in a long time but have very fond memories of it.

I imagine every guest coming out of these looking like Jimmy Neutron after he got turned into jelly that one time

“After we have scraped your remains from the moon” had me laughing out loud

Man, those negative G-Forces must provide some out-of-this-world airtime.

It's weird when you don't start with your usual catch phrase opening of ""Hey, hey, hey! What's up RollerCoaster Tycoon fans? Marcel here, and welcome back to another episode of Marcel Plays!"

Technically, the G force numbers are survivable over a very short period of time. Two time F1 champ Max Verstappen crashed at 51g in 2021 at Silverstone and didn't miss a race. Indy driver Kenny Bräck famously survived a 214g crash at Texas Motor Speedway. The cars are designed to keep you from squishing, and roller coasters don't have as much anti-squish. Also, in a loop it's too much for any anti-squish system.

Man, Chris Sawyer thought he built a rollercoaster game, but he in fact made a murder game

1:12 This is where we can be glad (and Marcel will be sad) that we have fake physics here. In reality, these accelerations are proportional to speed squared. Real numbers would be in the vicinity of 10 000 g by the end of the video. 6:46 Banking your turns like a normie!

Those guests are incredible for being able to hold their puke until *after* they leave the coaster.

I absolutely love your videos, mate. Laughed hard at many points.

so happy that i discovered this channel. i used to play this with my dad back in the days and after watching a few of your videos i came to the realization that we had no clue what we were doing at all. still had a blast. great memories.

"Oh right, right, with the bones. I always forget about the bones." ~Dr. Zoidberg (coincidentally, the designer of these coasters)

That twister's as fast as an Indycar and has similar G-forces of Kenny Brack crashing in one. He managed to survive that crash, but I doubt anyone would survive these rollercoasters

Super glad to find your content. Large deal of my earliest gaming was Sims and RCT of many different Tycoon editions. Like to see the length of details and experiments. As well, kudos to the mini coaster ideas. Been playing classic mobile lately and loving it. Great content 🤙

The way that you scale your videos up as they go - introducing new elements for each part of the explanation - is just so interesting but also makes it very easy to follow. I love the way your videos are structured! I'm hooked! lol

About increasing the speed of the coaster with guests: Couldn't you (theoretically) make sure to only allow the heaviest guests to board the train, with stuff like weight sorting rides that you have showcased on this channel before? I'd argue that the increase in speed is almost negligible, but we might get a few more 0.1's in the spine snapping department.

Meanwhile, in RCT3 where you can have rollercoasters with 800000 Gs

A potential correction: in real life, g-forces induced by turns are proportional to the *square* of the speed. The equation is acceleration = speed^2 / radius (and then divide the result by 9.81 to get g-forces). So, doubling the speed should *quadruple* the g-forces. I'm not sure if that's how the game calculates it, but that's how it works in real life.

When you're talking about G forces, it would be helpful to compare the numbers to real-life numbers that are captured in coasters, jet airplanes, and rockets, since these are the only devices that can come close to replicating Rollercoaster Tycoon's forces. It also might help to show what an equivalent G-force would be on a human body in free-fall hitting the ground. Not too get too visceral, but check out Mythbusters' methodologies for determining lethal force impacts. Very clean and clear way to describe what would happen to a human who experiences those forces...without the gore.

There are so many fantastic one-liners in this video, it's just amazing. Probably one of Marcel's best, and that's saying something!

The glitching and twitching cars of the coaster... i can't 😂😂😂 like an exploding tortellini cans with tomato soup experience for the bystanders that watch the ride... 😐😂😆

6:57 I love the optimism, but I regret to inform you that the guests have not yet reached escape velocity. Sadly, even the supersonic coaster isn't going fast enough, although I'm pretty sure those guests are at least not in the park any longer.

"After we scrape your remains from the moon..." That line got me. 😆

A very unusual addition to the menu at the Drinks Stall, but it definitely has a unique taste.

Perfect use of the dramatic slow-mo!

That train reached the speed of sound, which is definitely faster than Usain Bolt can run

Whether a G-force is lethal depends not only on its absolute value, but also on how long one is exposed to it. Humans can survive G-forces up to 100 as long as they are exposed to them for only a tiny fraction of a second. The world record for the highest G-force ever survived by a human being is even higher at an incredible 180. That human being was David Purley, a Formula 1 driver who crashed his car full throttle into a guard rail. He suffered various fractures and other injuries, but he survived.

The fact that they get off that ride makes me think they're practically immortal. Maybe that's why they go into all parks, even the empty ones, in hopes of being finally killed.

It's channels and videos like this that make RU-vid what it is. Thanks for the work that went into making this

"After we have scraped your remains from the moon.." Oh Marcel, you brushed the lunar strain into a charming yet subtle approach to foddering guests for our experimental entertainment. 😋 TL'DR Visualizing a snow shovel and an astronaut forensics agent chiseling off pancaked remains of amusement park guests made my morning lmao😝

The Usain Bolt line was awesome but by far my favorite was pointing out, that these impressive forces are indeed impressive :D

"After we have scraped your remains from the Moon" delivered in the dutch accent was phenomenal

2:17 guest getting out of the ride are all sick :'D

I once set out to make the deadliest coaster back in the day. The vertical drop coaster I think is the one that has the special block brake that will always stop it immediately. Other coasters normally go through brakes if they're going fast enough, but this one in particular always brought the car to a dead stop. So, up to the height limit, down to the lowest underground, and BAM, instant stop. There's no surviving that.

"They did a good job designing this park, I feel really drawn to this section over here." "Actually that's the gravitational pull of the roller coaster they're testing. Hope you brought your earplugs. And sunscreen..."

9:00 "I leave that as an exercise for the viewer"

Nowhere else can you have a sentence like “Crushes your spine and expels your lungs through your nose Followed by the bunny hops :)”

8:32 That's like 1 hour & 10 mins of pure hell, except that you'd be dead very early on and it would just be everyone's corpses flailing around

"Spine-Remover Brain-Crusher 1" looks too intense for me!

These kinds of videos are the exact reason, I subscribed. 🤣

I love how the twister coaster G force record demands human sacrifice.

You are freaking awesome Marcel!

I'm a little impressed the air powered coaster made it back to the station high in the air.

This. This is the content I need. Thank you.

This man really just made a rollercoaster where using the "megameter" would be a reasonable measurement

"Even faster than Usain Bolt can run" dude, i almost choked on my cerial man STOP IT hahaha

Thank you for a great guide. I just bought the grigri+ to help my kids learn how to belay (and to make it easier for me. This has been a good watch.

Your commentary is hilarious, love it!

8:17 "WHOA! What the hell was that?!" "Twister Roller Coaster 1... it's gone to plaid!" 8:25 "MY BRAINS... ARE GOING INTO MY FEET...!"

I like how you come up with the most creative ideas!

Marcel proves that science is less about "Why?" and more about "Why not?" as he turns guests into soup.

Urbanos' "euthanasia coaster" ain't got nothing on our man Vos.

O_O Yeesh... Those rides better come with scrapers to clean the seats after the ride finishes. XD Great vid

Marcel, I have been wondering for a while, is it possible to build a gentle ride, water ride or transport ride with intensity or nausea higher than 10?

"after we have scraped your remains from the moon" i'm fucking losing it

I can only imagine that after he passes, Marcel will find himself in hell. Not to be punished, but to be the punisher.

These are great roller coaster designs.

Had forgotten this game, man this is full of nostalgia, wow.

Guests know when a coaster is too intense and they won’t go on it. Yet they are ignorant of an untested coaster that is deadly and will go on it

4:59 the galaxy is so big you could fit an entire football field in it

Quick reference on G forces: G Force is an acceleration function representing the gravitational constant of 9.8 m/s Vertical G's: Forces going vertical. A positive g-force corresponds to a downward force, and a negative force sends you up. When standing still, you experience 1 vertical G from Earth's gravitational force pulling you downward. 0 G's creates the feeling of weightlessness in a rider. Lateral G's: Forces from the side. Positive is to the left, negative is to the right. Note that RCT2 uses absolute values when finding the maximum lat. G's, so you can't tell if the offending area is a left or right turn. Longitudinal G's: Forces going forward and backward. Longitudinal G's are not in RCT1 and 2, but they are in other park sim games like Parkitect and Planet Coaster (where they're called "Forward Gs").

Gotta name that coaster “The Spine”. Cause you’re about to snap yours in half and eject it out your back like some Mortal Kombat fatality.

My brains are in my toes and my toes are in the upper atmosphere

Almost hitting the speed of sound into those loops, spike, and turns, the who train would shattering into millions of pieces and gooify their bodies

I love you specifying that the ride with 8 negative gforces is deadly when even 3 negative gforces would be hella dangerous

I love your videos. Such awesomeness

Great video friend!

"I don't want to go on Extreme G-Force coaster 1, It looks to intense for me" 😂
