Great video. I love how the coaster plateaus and turns to the right before plunging down, so that as riders go up the first lift they get a clear view of the scream-inducing, 85 mph, 245-foot, 90-degree drop (yeah, you read that right — straightdown!) that's coming.
But I'm being cheated out of the G-forces. So gimme the release, and show me where to sign!! -"BB"-

I wonder what those stairs on the side are for? Are they there in case you'd prefer to jump?

This ain't like a car where you wait until the idiot light comes on to take care of things. Somebody has to inspect and maintain that 'hold-and-release' mechanism daily, and that's how they get out there to do it. -"BB"-

This is my kind of thrill ride. All my life I've been looking for similar rides that will make me puke. I have yet to find it.
I was taught to fly by a crop dusting pilot, and CFI. He tried his damnedest to make me woozy on occasion -- his stalls were magnificent -- but always without success, and wanting more.

Yes, no thanks.
I don't like heights and roller coasters of any type are not my idea of fun.

I think roller coasters are fantastic and I’ve ridden a few really good ones over the years, too. I would ride this one, given the opportunity. Looks like a hella good time!

After the '89 quake, when my house was destroyed with me in it, I am off vomit-inducing thrill rides and scary movies. When that lever in your brain gets thrown ALL the way on, it does not go back.
