it's the 76 mph 200 ft. face first drop the picture is taken of you on the first back flip which is right after you just 'freefalled' face first.

Prototype vehicles that spin 360-degrees forwards and backwards.
One twisting front flip, two back flips and two raven turns will leave you speechless!

Ride Description

For the first time ever, riders race in prototype vehicles that can now spin independently 360-degrees forwards or backwards on a separate axis -- creating an unprecedented "don't know what to expect next" sensation. Perched on the EDGE of a massive 20-foot wide wing-shaped vehicle, riders plummet 200 feet to the ground - head-first face down -- and race at 76 miles-per-hour spinning head-over-heels and performing forward and backward acrobatics through the massive 3,600-foot twisting steel maze.

Top Speed

76 miles-per-hour

Height at Tallest Point

First Drop: 200 feet

Length

3,610 feet

Vehicles

The prototype design allows vehicles to spin 360-degrees forward and backward independent of the train's primary movement. Weighing 5 tons, the vehicle has a unique wing-shaped design that spans an unprecedented 20-feet wide. Each of the three trains carries 28 passengers sitting four abreast.

Safety Systems

Computer controlled fail-safe magnetic brakes and trains with state-of-the-art specially designed seats and shoulder restraints to assure proper ride speed and rider comfort at all times.

Height Restriction

You must be at least 48" tall to ride X

Manufacturer

Arrow Dynamics

They have a new one opening the end of April...to be the fastest coaster in the US. (for now)

@ Ron my season pass is good at any six flags :-) except this year I'm flying out sooner.....oh well.

I have a Takamine EF350MC. I absolutely love it. You have a great looking axe. I prefer the full body, as full body = fuller sound, but I know taks and I know it sounds really good unplugged and amazing "plugged in." You couldn't buy better electronics than stock Tak pickups and EQ etc.

I see no reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane!
My bro-in-law went, said it was the ultimate, the coolest feeling ever. He also sees absolutely no reason to do it again. I don't think I'll skydive or bungi any time soon. Now a ride in a shuttle, or flight to Mars? Sign my old mean ass up!

I might do it again, but I am not taking it up as a hobby. I did it tandem, basically with some guy strapped to my back doing the work (though I had my own chute) and though I normally don't like to put my life in someone else's hands, if this guy fucks up... he is killing himself as well, not only me. I would like to try it solo once.

LOL'ing at this reply, taking it TOTALLY out of context.

It sounds like Brokeback Sky Diving School!

Well his dick really wasn't big enough. Maybe the next guy I do tandem will be more well endowed. Know any black/polish mixed guys I can hook up with ? Supposedly Africans have the greatest length and Polish have the biggest girth (big around.)
