LOVE SFKK Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 So I was in Vegas for a night and i decided that I should go to Adventuredome since this would be my last trip to vegas for a while. We got to the park and Inverter kinda of towers over the entrance and looks cool but 1 word...OUCH...since im not tall enough to get my shoulders cut off i got super big bruises on my thighs. Then i decided to go ride the infamous Canyon Blaster. Well first off the people operating the ride did not check restraints and then when the train pulled out of the station the dispatcher spilled a Dr Pepper bottle all over the front two cars and did NOTHING. then we started up the very out of tune chain lift. the first drop wasnt rough and gave a little airtime which was scary as this coaster is an arrow. then the double loops came which were really fun. After the loops the there was a turn the soars over Chaos that gave EXTREME airtime. I was so in shock that there was airtime that i put my hands up and i got so much headbanging from the double corscrews which is why i label this coaster an OUCH. The rest of the ride consists of dodging through the man made mountain which is slightly rough. I though it was king of coll that the brake run is in complete darkness. Except for the bright lite of the upcoming station. SO i got off canyon blaster with a slight headache. and then went to Chaos. this is a pretty good ride since when your flipping you always feel like your going to hit the ground and Canyon Blaster which is right above you. Since i had done three of the 4 big attractions at the park i decided to skip Rim Runner, the water ride since i rode when i was like 4. put by the looks of the station this is not the good ride that it used to be. So adventureland was okay for a cheesy vegas attraction. Even if they had lots of Ouch rides!

FeelTheFORCE Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Yea they didnt check the restraints when I rode it either, but I found the corkscrews to be rather smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvcoasterguy Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Inverters = mass suckage. They truly hurt your legs. Really bad. I've never had that much pain on a ride before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVE SFKK Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 ^ yes, and expecially when you get your hand whacked super hard when that safety bar comes down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I agree. Inverters are the most painful and pointless rides around. I used to go on SFNE's until I came to my sense and couldn't tolerate it's aging to an even worse state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 The problem with Inverter is that, for one thing, only eight people out of 52 or however many get a good view. Everyone else gets to stare at the back of the bulky headrest in front of them. Another problem is that it's way too slow. It just takes its time, crawwwllliiiing over the top and then coming back down at a slightly faster pace, never giving any sensation of dropping. It's just boring...

LOVE SFKK Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 Thanks Robb for making that edit. Its much easier to read now! THANK YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calaway Park Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I LOVE Inverter!!!! I HATE Kamikaze. I think Kamikaze is a pointless invention.. its extremely boring.... Ring Of Fire is much better because it depends on the operator to controll what it does. Tango is boring too. I think its because I like rides that give different experiences every time you ride. For example, Zipper, Tilt~a~whirl, Chaos and etc. Anyway, sounds like you had a crappy time Come to West Edmonton Mall/Mall Of America To get a good indoor park experience.

Loco Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I LOVE Inverter!!!! I HATE Kamikaze. I think Kamikaze is a pointless invention Well I love Kamikaze better because atleast the thing freefalls back down or watever. Inverter is just powered the whole way up and down.

haiderodes Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I wonder if Adventuredome had a contract with Chance/Morgan because their last three large rides were all made by them...Inverter, Slingshot, and Chaos...and note all three were/are very tempermental to operate, at least at the dome. Inverter isn't only a pain to ride its also a pain to operate. Not because its difficult, but because people can never seem to understand "do not pull down on the restraints" nor do they understand "keep your head back as restraints will be coming up quickly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfmman2000 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I think Kamikaze is a pointless invention.. its extremely boring.... Ring Of Fire is much better because it depends on the operator to controll what it does. The Kamikaze is fully controllable. It's the only way there is to run it.

QueerRudie Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Did something happen to Canyon Blaster since I was last there in May? I've never heard such bashing in my life about it- I know they'd done some stress crack repairs, but those should not have any effect on the actual ride performance. I've always found that Canyon Blaster is a good solid Arrow- yes, it can get a little choppy in some parts, but I've never found the 'screw to be rough at all- and I've logged quite a few rides on it since 1995. Or is it me? Have I become too numb to the roughness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bk1870 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I've always wondered about this park. It's showing its age...but they are kind of stuck with it being INSIDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
