Six Flags Great Adventure... in New Joysee... trumping Cedar Point's "Top Thrill Dragster".

Launch from standing start to 128 mph...
Go vertical and do 1/4 roll...
Crest at 456 ft...
Go vertical and do 3/4 roll on way down... and
A camel hump just for a little air time...

I am so there...

    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Never mind, I resized the pics and just cannot get it to post correctly for some reason. They are showing up as a bmp, would changing them to jpeg help?

    The only problem with that is, you have a windshield and stuff, plus it's illegal, this is perfectly safe and you only have a lap-bar ;)

    Wow.... It's not a roller coaster IMO, it's a thrill ride, but what a ride.

    It's so fast that the ride is literally a blur due to the tearing. First time I've ever worried about my contact lenses being blown out of my eyes.

    I can only remember the acceleration, looking straight down from 450 feet and then bottoming out and the run back to the station.

    Obviously I need more rides... :D
    More later,
    Tour...

    I wish I could get the pic I have of this girl that rode that beast to post, lets just say that she was just a tad wet when she got off the ride. :D

    For the curious... Download is VERY slow, but video is good quality for a "sneak".

    Bunch of kids, so obviously there's plenty of profanity.. cause it's cool to cuss.

    Yeah it would definatly be scary. Video took quite a while to download (being only 8 mb...) but it was pretty cool - aside from the kids riding it.
