No thanks.........spin me like a bullet from a barrel and I'm fine, can't handle vertical drops though.

 

[MaddSkillz]

So much yes!

Was that eight-across seating?? Imagine the engineering that had to go into making the center-mounted track resistant to the immense torsional forces imparted by that wide a load!

That's 2 of us then Dennis.
I can't ride those things. That one would probably give me a heart attack.

I can't believe they are going to dangle riders over the edge like that and allow them stare at their own deaths for several seconds before dropping them.

OK now there is 3 things if i die from someone better call for a big investigation, 1 is suicide( not happening) 2 airplane crash ( the only way is if the plane hits me on the head when it fell) and this (not happening).

I love roller coasters, would ride this in a heartbeat. I think it is also one of the ones with the steepest dive hill. I know there are some coasters that go vertical but most of those are powered launch systems.

Used to go to Valley Fair in the Minneapolis area and rode all the coasters there, Paramount's Kings Island (now sold to another company)in Cincinnati as well as Paramount's Great America (Also sold was featured in beverly hills cop 3 though) in California, World's of Fun in KCMO and Adventureland in Des Moines IA. Disneyworld was interesting but the coasters were not really fast but still fun.

Have thought about getting a couple season passes to six flags and the Cedar Fair company and just going on a theme park tour one year to hit everything I can.

In Cincinnati I rode a coaster called "Son of Beast" HUGGEE wooden coaster with an inversion loop, which has actually been dismantled due to some safety issues.

That Son of Beast ride looks awesome!

It was. First downhill was massive. But the material just could not hold up to the stresses involved. I actually was able to ride it with the loop in place. Was a short lived roller coaster though, most last 50 years. That one didn't even make it ten.
