Question

Is Kingda Ka too many G's for an 8 year old girl?

Answer 1

No.

At 8 years old--if she's even tall enough for KK's minimum height requirement--she could take more Gs than most adults because she weighs less.  A 150-pound person at 3 positive Gs (about what the launch is) makes them feel like they weigh 450.  An 8-year-old at 50 pounds x 3 positive Gs makes them feel like they weigh 150.  Not to mention that children tend to be in better physical shape than adults, so their bodies are more resilient and they have less health problems.  So as long as she has a clean bill of health with no heart, neck, or back problems, the only thing stopping her would be the height requirement, or her own fear.

Answer 2

kingda ka has about 4-5 g's so probably too much for an 8 year old

Answer 3

to many G's what

Answer 4

It sort of depends.  If this is an 8-year old girl's first time on a roller coaster, she might not even want to go on it.  I was 14 and hesitated at first.  Also, the height requirement might be too much for an 8-year old.  You'll have to check it out first.  As for G's, you should be alright.  Good luck with Kingda Ka!!
