Looks like a stomach churning, cookie tossing 3 minute ride... My stomach aches just looking at it. LOL

It is a stomach churning ride. I'm not a roller coaster fan but I did watch it in operation a few years ago... the riders, for the most part looked petrified and faces all out of shape. Stats say it hits 97kph and 5.6 g's... Not for this guy it doesn't... lol...

I think this was a feature race at the NHRA drags a few years back (National Hot Railcar Association). Heard they did the 1/4 in under 7 minutes...
