When I was around 16/17 I had a folder full of bizzare coaster ideas. One of them was a dark-ride sized coaster that started as a floorless coaster with a set of wheels on a bracket above the car. At a point in the ride, an overhead track would appear out of view while the bottom track ended, with special effects convincing riders they were going to crash, as the top track picks up the coaster, it sweeps them around a corner into the inverted section of the coaster. The brake run would return the train to the floorless position. Gotta go dig for that folder...

The ride typically rolls back only in the morning while they are testing, unlike Dragster, which I saw rolling back with park guests quite frequently. After 4 rollbacks between 9:15 and 9:30 am, I never saw it rollback throughout the day, even after it went down for repairs. It's going to be down for at least a couple weeks, but it's definately worth a visit, especially if you're into Intamin coasters as much as I am. There's a ton of parks within a few hours drive worth hitting. just make sure you get a q-bot for Kingda Ka. Thanks for the kind words on the video.

During ERT at Coaster Celebration, I waited 50 minutes for the front seat. DURING ERT! It was supposed to open at 9 am, it opened at 930 after the first train finally made it over, with the public coming in a at 10 that gave 30 minutes of ERT. Don't get me wrong, I was very grateful for it. It's just a shame it had to break down so often.

Anyone have any more info on this coaster... http://www.rcdb.com/ig3141.htm Is it an original or a Superman clone:?:

I'm heading out there 2 weeks from today. Anyone know how the lines have been for Hydra?

Hey there, I'm brand new to the site... my name's Sean, I'm from RI. I'll be providing tons of links to videos as I hit the parks this summer. The first is of Kingda Ka at SFGADV, the next will be Hydra in a couple weeks. I have a lot of footage that still needs to be edited. I know the quality isn't the best, but I hope you'll enjoy it anyways. http://sean.elitemrp.net/ -Sean C
