Check out the awesome new minisite for iSpeed!
Go to www.mirabilandia.it , and when it loads click the iSpeed banner at the bottom, left.
There are pictures, wallpapers, and most importantly, STATS!
Not just any stats, there are G forces for single elements, and from those i can tell, that That is going to be one of the most powerful coasters EVER!
4.6G on the climb to the tophat
-0.5G over the tophat
4.9G at the bottom of the first drop
-1.5G on the camelback
4.5G on the first turn
4.3G in the corkscrew (?)
4.3G in the Italian loop

A loop on a coaster built by Italians, in Italy?

An Italian loop, as it is referred to by the Parksmania people, is the slanted immelman-ish element before the berrelroll...
Hmmm, thinking about the forces, I still think it will be pretty strong, I mean, it wouldn't make sense to put the spikes on the official site... They're probably quite sustained... I'm quite sure for the turn, the airhill and the climb and the drop from the tophat...
If the forces varyed by a lot, the track would have to have non-constant radii, no?
Oh, and I'd love to hear more about Loefet's Gforce meter thingy!

^ It all depends on what you call sustained force, TTD pulls about 5 g's on the pull up after the launch for about 2 seconds, that is no spike for me, but it not really sustained as well.
But your right, even if the ride pulls "so and so"many g's at some point it still pretty short so the effect isn't as bad as you think.
An example is that 3 g's for 7-10 seconds are way worse than 5 g's in 2 seconds.

A bit slow over the top hat, but it is a test run.
