Try it, you'll like it....



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 — straight down!) that's coming.
But I'm being cheated out of the G-forces.  So gimme the release, and show me where to sign!!

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.

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! :ok :mrgreen:

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.
