    Now that looks like fun! Front seat!

    I envision the flight characteristics of some combat maneuvers in those turns and twists.

    ‘.. roll and invert, pull back hard on the stick pitch it into a dive, barrel roll, pull back on the stick hard in a loop at a steady three G climb, throttle unchanged approaching a stall, roll invert, pitch it back down, one quarter hard right roll, full mil power, pull back hard on the stick…” FUN!!!!!

    I've been wanting to go up there and ride that since this summer when my friend went there. I think it's only like 5 hours or so away from me. I rode a coaster similiar to that one at the six flags around Chicago.

    And my favorite coaster yet.

    But neither one of these coasters get even near the speeds really of the one posted about. God I really gotta go up to ceader point.

    This thread has got me all excited about this summer now.

    Only one way to conquer your fear...to do it! I love roller coasters but this thing is a monster. However, count me IN :)

    Not me, and I have a pilots license and went sky diving in Vegas. I HATE the falling sensation and super afraid of heights. However all the twists and turns are nothing to me. It is always the first drop of a rollercoaster that gets me.

    Note. Just one more fear I will have to eventually get rid of at some point in life.

    No way, I just don't get people who have a fascination with doing death defying stuff. Just making it thru this dangerous world safely is enough for me

    Ryan,

    I didn't like painting my house, as I was 2 stories high - I had an irrational fear I would impulsively jump. BUT, I have no problem strapping a hang glider on and jumping off MUCH higher things! So, pilots are OK with heights when they have wings on.

    Now, who will be the first to base jump that bad boy?

    I'm in. I won't walk to the edge of a balcony, but roller coasters don't scare me, can't figure it out. It must be the false sense of security of being fastened in?

    Yes... Emphasis on the "false sense of security"...!

    When at Six Flags in NJ a few years ago, i began slipping and almost fell out of one of the roller coasters; it was upside down at the time... What could've happened didn't look promising...

    With that said, i wouldn't think twice about going on this one... It looks like a rush and i couldn't pass that up...
