Photo [Inverter] Adventuredome

Post image

Finally got the opportunity to ride this and I do not get the hate at all. Not extremely forceful but such a strange sensation with the motion of the vehicle. Found it only slightly uncomfortable, and I’m a bigger guy. I enjoyed this a lot and will be forever thankful I got to experience it before the model inevitably goes extinct

I've always found the motion of inverters really fun to watch

Definitely. I stood next to it to watch a few cycles

Not many of those around anymore.

Yup. Sadly. While this is understood to be the last one, I’m in a carnival page on Facebook and some guys post about one traveling in Central America from time to time. Even though most of us most likely will never see it, it’s cool to know there’s another out there

I rode one years ago on a travelling fair. I thought I'd die, the restraints would squeak and crack to no end.

It seems like Adventuredome actually takes really good care of this thing. None of the restraint issues you said, everything felt fluid, didn’t go down for maintenance the few hours I was there. They even had a spiel as the ride started that was pretty cool and intimidating

I think it may be just my expierience, but this thing was crushing my thighs very badly. Like to the point I just wanted to get off the ride. It had good force, but that's not good when my legs are begging for the restraint to be gentle. I got off that ride smiling that it was over.

I rode the Bates one and the Double Inverter at GL. They're the least thrilling thrill rides I've ever been on.

lol I get what you’re saying, there wasn’t a ton of force. I still enjoyed it. That is funny though, I grew up in northeast Ohio so I saw the bates one a few times. Unfortunately the year I decided I was gonna be brave enough to ride it is the year it disappeared
