It's 1976. You've been waiting in line for a while now, but you're nearing the end of your wait. The empty train is sitting in front of you calling out your name. You climb in and pull down your lap bar, and the train dispatches. As you are climbing the lift you look for the loop but it is no where to be seen. The ride dips to the right and back up to the left, then it dips to the left and back up. And just when you're wondering if the loop is even part of the ride, you see it. You slow down and start to coast down a shallow drop. The loop is directly in front of you. The train slowly picks up speed, but there is no way you'll have enough momentum to make it through, and how is this lap bar supposed to keep you in the train. You reach the bottom of the hill and it's like time stands still. The world is silent. The world is still. The world is........Upside Down. You have just gone through the first modern loop on a roller coaster and survived. The ride isn't even over yet, but you and the whole train have just shared a moment together and everyone is cheering. You don't even remember the tunnel, or remaining drops, or tight helix at the end. All you remember is arriving back to the station, surrounded by loud cheers, and giving everyone high fives as you exit the station. This was incredible. This was monumental. This will never be beaten.
This ride tells a story. I could imagine riding this back in the day and feeling what was felt back then. This coaster was incredible, and is one of the best in the park.
