It depends on the size of the loop and the speed you go into the loop. The avareage is about 3.5 G's (I got that from Ultimate Ride Coaster Deluxe-Great Game.)

Not sure about the exact number of g-forces in a pretzel loop. Maybe someone who plays coaster simulator games might know.

Thanks for dropping in from France!

Flying roller coasters are my favorite type of roller coaster. I just love the feeling of being hung in midair with nothing but a seat belt holding you in, the G-forces you can get on one that you can't get on any other type of roller coaster, and the feeling of your blood rushing to your head on the pretzel loop.

Prof. BAM, look at the article more closely. It says that B&M has already made six flyers. Vekoma has built three, Zamperla has built 5, and Wiegand has built one.

Am I the only one who has noticed that only Vekoma flyers are located at Cedar Fair parks? Six Flags has the B&Ms, so where and when is one going to fly to a Cedar Fair park. Personally, I believe that the first B&M flyer will land somewhare around Cedar Point's property.

The Fly to Lie/Fly to Lie are reminiscent of barrel rolls

is the lie to fly a pretzel loop? because when you start heading down, you do feel like you are standing on your head

The inversions that these coasters claim to have, I would't count all of them. Like the Fly to Lie/Lie to Fly. That is the train itself inverting. I define an inversion on a roller coaster as the occupants in a fashion similar to standing on their heads. In the Fly to Lie/Lie to Fly-you jsut roll over. You don't invert.
