It's a damn shame, really. It was my favorite flat at Great Adventure in the short time it spent there, I rode it every chance I got (still wasn't super reliable even then) and even got a few different cycle programs so I was able to see what it was capable of rather than the typical Six Flags-ing of flats where they run the pansy programs. It would stall at the top and everyone would be facing inwards at each other, sometimes it would just spin in place on top or at the bottom, sometimes it would spin faster, slower, etc. The ride was a beast. RIP.
Speaking of ride programs, being the op on the top spin was really fun. Management was pretty specific about what program we ran with guests but we'd go buckwild in the morning when we were testing it before the park opened. One program had over 10 flips, IIRC, and the only thing that's come close to matching those wacky programs is Talocan at Phantasialand.
