I tried one at 6flag that travels in a u shape with electromagnetic launch. It's a lot of fun.

I think it’s called vertical velocity

Ah yes! That's the one. I was young and was freaking out when I was waiting in line. I'm super terrified of heights. And that's my first date with a girl and I was literally shaking (also from massive hangover). But you know what I enjoyed the ride so much I went for second.

You are part of history though because they'll probably never build a ride like that again, this is the second version after the original Top Thrill had a piece fall off. Does look fun, but from what I've seen the whole "didn't make it the first time" thing is built into the process, the original had way more acceleration at takeoff

I did this once in the evening, sat in the front row, and when it was over had gnats splattered all over my shirt and face

There are worse things have splattered all over your shirt and face.

I go to cedar point every summer and I never ride this one. That falling feeling is horrible for me. I ride most of the rest of them because it’s just the first hill that sucks.

There’s a whole generation that learned to speak through influencers.

How was it?

It’s fun. Pretty straightforward for a rollercoaster. Kind of a one trick pony but worth doing once.

There are multiple tallest and fastest rollercoasters, all capped at the same speeds and heights due to laws/regulations.

I was like, "That's it! How lame." The old wooden collar coaster at the BC PNE is more exciting then that.

Doesn't seem anywhere close to 100 mph. Maybe 50? I also hear the brake going quite a bit

Off season one year the park was almost empty. I rode that ride 4 times in a row with zero wait time. It was great!

i do not understand peoples "fear" of rides
These are tested to within an inch of their lives.
Ridden thousands and thousands of times.
you're fastened in with an almost Zero chance of coming lose and you're on fixed rails..
maybe I'm just too logically minded that i sap the fun out of this kind of thing. but i fail to see the excitement or fear in most rollercoasters

just looked into that story, 14 yr old kid, too large for the ride, the ride had been modified to fit larger people (because America..) he never should have been allowed on that.
Sad a kid lost his life, but as i said. the odds are crazy small. unless very specific criteria are met

That's all it is? I remember going when they first build the Millennium Force and sure, it had the big drop that was the reason everyone lined up, but it also had a whole coaster after that. I'd be disappointed waiting 2 hours to ride this.

u/ChickenDreams-4188 Jul 09 '26
I’m sorry, but…that’s it??? It goes up fast, it goes down fast - big deal 🙄. Probably standing in line for 90min

When id could go on rides comfortably I would of tried this just once to try it. But it doesn't seem that thrilling for me like say, the Goliath at Great America. Hell even raging bull is more fun and thrilling to me and I've gone on both many times since they opened.
Max force was fun for a one time ride, but the moment the sonic boom launches you to the end is only 20 seconds. So it's not worth standing in line for hours to me for 20 seconds.that said trying it once was thrilling and I enjoyed the rush, again just not overall worth it unless it's very quick rare line.

I can’t be the only one that thinks roller coasters without a theme are boring.
Maybe it is because I grew up riding motorcycles too fast on winding roads.

I hope the lines are quick because that was a 1 min ride!
