I rode this 10 times straight yesterday. The park didn’t have many guests and since nobody was in line to take our seats, we just stayed in the cart.

I rode it three times in different seats. The first of which was in the front seat.

A Six Flags park that adopts common sense rather than pedantic rules about making you walk all the way round again?!?!?! Never before heard of such a concept. Whatever next?

@bodsnvimto Жыл бұрын

I've only been to this park twice on back-to-back days (it's not exactly round the corner from Manchester, England) and my first ride was thankfully in the pitch black. I was thus far from ready as to what immediately ensues at the bottom of the first drop. Took a joyous beating.

I operated this ride for the 2021 season and I actually took that idea up with the carpenters and other Mechanics but truth is tht would make the wooden structure supporting the tracks unreliable and costs plus maintenance they'd loose more money. Our park is on a very tight budget

@@deangelowarren3491 I am sorry to hear about the budget. I wish the company would put more money into this park like they do with Great America or Fiesta Texas because this place definitely has a lot of potential. Well hopefully that could change a few years down the road.

They’ve redone the cars and seats so it isn’t nearly as rough as it used to be. Before it was redone the restraints didn’t even touch my lap.

i went on this ride last summer with a couple of my friends from church, and i remember sitting in the 3rd cart (which is one of the roughest carts to ride in on this) and feeling my seatbelt before the first drop and it was so loose! i tightened it and held onto the little bar thing the whole time after that and called my friend outside the ride afterwards and he said if i wouldn’t have messed w the seatbelt i would’ve flown off the rollercoasters. so scary but i’d totally do it again😹

I've never been able to go on an actual rollercoaster just cause I havent gotten the opportunity to go to an actual theme park. I've only ridden smaller rides at local fairs that happen during the summer. Once I get a new job (I'm 16 and my old one closed) I'm gonna pay for me and my family to go and I've decided that this will be the first rollercoaster I ever go on cause it doesnt seem as intimidating as some of the others it just kinda seems like a generic rollercoaster :)

This could be a good coaster if made smoother. I felt like I’d gone a round with Mike Tyson. Worst coaster in park Ninja isn’t far behind. A few years ago they redid the Giant in Texas taking it from bad to good. Bring on that team of engineers quickly before someone is hurt.
