Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast this

week coming to you live from Manchester!

My name is Jan Schreiber and I'm sitting here with Anich Zinski, Andrew Hunter Murray

and James Harkin and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite

facts from the last seven days and in a particular order here we go starting with you, James

Harkin.

My fact this week is that the first loop the loop roller coaster closed because so many

riders were passing out.

Oh, that's the end of the show!

They were passing out, this was so it was on Coney Island, it was in 1901 and what it

was it was a loop the loop.

I don't know if you would notice this today if you look at a loop the loop they're not

circular, they're kind of like elliptical things and the reason is if you have a circular

loop the loop it basically kills you.

Really?

Yeah this one it's called the Coney Flip Flap and it was giving people, it was, it's

that rude in Manchester and so the Coney Flip Flap produced 12 G's of gravitational force.

What how, what is that?

That's about 9G is like the maximum that like air jet pilots, fighter pilots ever go

up to?

Oh my god, exactly.

So the biggest, the craziest roller coaster today I think is 6G and this was 12G.
