What is the G-Force of the 13 story drop?

I don't think too much. Maybe 2 G's max on the positive side and about 2 on the negative side.

Thanks. My Dad wanted to give it a go but was concerned about the g-force. Says he can't handle heavy g's in his ripe old age of 64. He really used to do some serious coasters. Were going Feb 15th and 16th. Dad loves the old twilight zone shows and is very excited about TOT.

Also keep in mind, it's very smooth and not jarring at all.

What is the G-Force of the 13 story drop?According to an article on the WDW version:
The car pauses in pitch darkness. And then the ride plunges down. And back up. And back down. And down more -- subjecting riders to forces as high as 3.1 G's and as low as negative 0.9 G's in about 30 seconds.

If your dad loves the show, you will have a hard time getting him out of the tower. They did a fantastic job. There is supposedly "Hidden" twilight zone objects throughout the building. Does anyone else know about these. I heard that there are items in the lobby and other areas that are recreated props from the original episodes.

Anyone else know about this or what some of the item are? I believe the boiler room is a recreation of a boiler in an episode but am not sure.

Here's a link (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/showthread.php?t=27885). :)

My mother (now 63) LOVES ToT. We have to beg her to go on something else. LOL!! In fact, she can't wait until her grandkids are old enough to join her.

Tell your dad to have fun!
