as a kid g force was the scariest ride in the park, i remember finding the lapbar restraint scary in itself as we did not believe a lap bar could keep us in saftey, but i remember liking the ride, but 50% of the time, it felt like the ride was shut, it was always broken down, im not surprised they had low rider ship cause it was never open, but when it was even when i last went in 2017, the que would be 30-60 minuets long, which for small park is large.

I remember being very surprised that people found the lap bars uncomfortable. I thought they were excellent. They had one of those demo-cars out for you to try the bar out and it was what utterly sold me on the ride, in all honesty. But at the same time, it made my brother never want to go near the ride as he found it murderously uncomfortable.

Daniel Hill I loved the Pirate Adventure. It’s so sad that yet another huge building in the park sits unused. I guess it’s in a perfect location for a Thomas The Tank Engine themed dark ride if they decide to expand that area again. But me and my family have long outgrown Thomas, so Alton Towers, Blackpool and Thorpe Park is where they ask to go now. I worry for Drayton Manor, my local theme park :(

G Force was the first-ever rollercoaster I ever rode with inversions. It was so uncomfortable that it put me off rollercoasters for 8 years and I still can't bring myself to ride anything with inversions. I think not having shoulder restraints made the ride so uncomfortable and terrifying to me, as I felt like I would slip out and fall to my death, especially on the lift.

Unbelievable that you should do this video now, I only found the channel in last 2 weeks & it's awesome. I live around 4 miles from Drayton Manor in Sutton Coldfield. I used to go loads as a kid, but haven't been for around 10 years. During my current obsession with coasters I was amazed to read that this ride had closed in the time that I haven't been & wondered why. The Python used to bash your head between the restraints so much, I almost expected to have boxers cauliflower ears. Shockwave is a great ride, the drop tower too but I'll always have memories of going on the SkyFlyer, the original Pirate Ship, The Pirate Adventure, The Buffalo & The Tea Cups with my mom. In fact, I'm gonna call her tomorrow to reminisce. Thanks for the great footage!

02:25 Think you may have your time line mixed up in regards to Klondike Gold Mine, you say "it was removed in 1994 to make room for a bigger attraction" when this isnt the true. Opened as Python in 1984, 1995 changed to Klondike Goldmine, and removed in 2005 to make way for G Force. It was transferred to Hayling Island Funland where it operated for a further 10 years until its removal. Otherwise great video as always!

It was really fun as a ride, except I used to sit next to my mum and that one waist bar would only close to her size and during the pause at the top of the inversion I always felt like I was slipping out haha! Wouldn’t be the UK if the rollercoasters didn’t always feel a little sketchy! Still, a great ride

How interesting. I wasn't aware that the Rip Ride Rockit coaster in Universal IOA was an XCar. I knew I didn't like the way the restraints made me feel. Now I know why. I was a season pass holder at IOA for 4 years and didn't even ride that coaster for the last 2 years. It's just not fun and the restraints are very uncomfortable. It's certainly worth riding at least once or even a few times in one's life, but that XCar needs some serious work . Another great vid. Thanks for posting.

There is an X car coaster called the X Coaster in magic springs and Crystal falls in hot springs Arkansas. I always had such a hard time breathing from that restraint system! It was a sky loop model and each time the train flew through the station the restraints got tighter and tighter.

I know you usually don't do videos on still operating Six Flags parks but this park is currently dying out and not much is being done in the park to make it better, besides the opening of that wonder woman ride. There was also that accident that happened on the Superman ride where a girl's feet were cut off. It's my home park and I would love to know more about it. Thanks.

2:30 Love hearing about the history of DM, but Klondike couldn't have been removed in 1994, as it was my first "big" coaster credit at DM and I wasn't even born in 1994! Just a small nitpick. Great video about G-Force overall 👍

Man I had so may good rides and memories on GForce. The very back row got some killer airtime on that tall camelback, as it got whipped over the top! I'm really sad that they're getting rid of it - that being said, the tightening restraints were pretty bad

In The Netherlands there is a Maurer X Coaster called the Formule X. It is in a theme park called Drievliet and it is also very compact. This coaster has a launch instead of a lift hill and is just 30 seconds long. It also has Techno music composed for the ride just like G Force. I absolutely love that ride and found it was really comfortable.

I was there on opening day. Second public rider, after the VIP's. Loved it then, but rarely rode it after that. As mentioned, the restraints tightening throughout the ride wasn't pleasant. I'm glad it's not open now.

I still hold this beauty in my top 10. So what if it crushed all the air out of you? The hang time was FREAKING NUTS. No other UK coaster has held up to that standard of hangtime (besides Icon at points). Sad to see this ride go. It's sad to look at Drayton Manor now, rapids abandoned, G Force abandoned, Pirate Adventure abandoned, Excalibur abandoned, StormForce10 being unreliable, shockwave not being designed with tall men in mind and the terrible operation of pandemonium. I love this park as I am so close to it, but all my great memories of this park are of rides that no longer exist. I hope that over the next few years Drayton can get their act together otherwise they will go down under without anyone even caring as all the good rides were already gone.

I live in Coventry, and Drayton Manor is effectively my local theme park (roughly 30 mins away). It's a shame to see the lack of investment in the park (outside of Thomas Land) since G-Force opened. I rode G-Force a few years after opening but wasn't wowed by it. I was gutted that it had replaced the old Klondike Gold Mine coaster (which was removed a lot later than 94 as stated in your video. I remember riding it - and thus becoming the first inversion I rode - in the early-mid 00s). Shockwave is starting to show it's age, too. The last time I rode it was not enjoyable at all due to how rough it was. Granted, it's a small park (you can easily get a couple of rides in on all the major attractions in a day), but I feel that if they could get at least one more good quality coaster (maybe a new woodie or a mid-size Gertslauer or similar), or preferably two, then the park might see a better future. At the moment it's thrill rides are the best thing about it. A good ride on Maelstrom is better than any other ride of its type IMO, and Apocalypse is well-renowned for a reason. If they could capitalise on the somewhat dead area around Apocalypse (and to a lesser extent, Pandemonium), they could have a nice new signature attraction right by the main entrance. Most importantly, can we get some love for the Buffalo coaster? ;)

I'm from Ohio and have only been to Cedar Point and all 3 versions of Geauga Lake/Sea World Ohio/Six Flags Worlds of Adventure, but I find myself singing along to the Drayton Manor commercial now. :D On my second go thru of all of your vids, keep it up!

I rode the prototype in the skylinepark wich feels like hundreds of times. Always a pleasue, smooth, high G forces and a wonderful view upside down. The only sad thing is, that the tightening lap bar problem seems to never got fixed. A couple of times, the breaks wich lock the car on the lifthill to slowly descent it into the station for loading didn't catch the car, so we were going backward and forwards for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then another 10 to 15 minutes to lock the car to the chain, so that the sensors detect a safe position and unlocks the restrains. I usally say: Nice, more ride time, but the bars really can make breathing difficult. Especially when your stuck in there for about 30 minutes. It can't really get extended in the parks current state. Theres no space left. The Freischütz coaster in the bayern park is another X-Car from M&S, but with a launch instead of a chainlift. These two coasters are perfect to show the variety possible with it. Thank you for the aditional informations.

I rode it during an organized amusement park tour back in 2006, and will not miss it, especially with the restraint tightening as the ride progressed. Breathing is overrated. The other two X-Car coasters I have been on (the launched Formule X in the Netherlands and Rip RIde Rocket at Universal) were both more enjoyable to ride.
