Default Terrible.

Did you get a chance to ride the monster roller coaster?

Default You should see the ride "drag race"

It starts with something like 16 people, there is a cable with launch capabilities like a air craft carrier.....

Then you go on a very slight incline, about 1/8 mile, 0-120 MPH!!!

Then straight up.....through a corkscrew......then over the top (420 feet high), then corkscrew down and back to where you started from and hard on the brakes.

Here's where you go from 0-120 MPH before going vertical!!! It takes about 3 seconds to get there.

Default Didn't do the monster......but that thing is huge!!

We did a few roller coasters, actually a bunch, really liked the small one, we called it "mighty mouse", just a little 4 person car kinda old school style, really had some good negative g's.

Food poisoning sucks. I wanted literally to die instead of enduring another second of it.
