So if the super conductive disk was going around the track at an extremely fast speed, would the g forces eventually pull it off?

no, it's not going to keep accelerating because there's still air resistance.
unless you're asking if there's a speed at which the centrifugal force is greater than the force keeping it there... then the answer is yes

It's for the release of the next Wipeout game

oops, sorry everyone. i guess i wanted it to be real badly enough that I was duped. +1 to whoever came up with the idea..
oh well, any excuse to bump the video in the OP
TBH mate, I think we all wanted to believe. I was properly gutted, like pit of my stomach stuff, when my housemate told me.

So wait... Only the wipeout video isn't real, or the entire "superconductive floating idea" is fake?
