so, if I understand correctly, it will be at both Cedar Point and at King's Island next year?

the second wmv. file posted by dave shows it in its location at King's Island, near the Racer?

I will probably try it once... It looks alright. CP better have a new coaster by 2013. The last time I was at CP me and my friends said they should come up with some ride where you are laying down.

Both look pretty sweet. Though I want to do the Vegas one BADLY. Ive always wanted to sky dive, and I think that is the closest I will get without climbing out of a plane door. I should be haeded back in January for my Anniversary...seems like something I may have to try out!

when has King's Island and Cedar Point ever featured the same ride in the same year.



Seems a bit strange.

It does seem like a county fair swing that is just really really really really high.

okay, engineering geniuses..........congrats.

Seems like a better fit for KI since they cater more to families. They must have got a deal from the makers by both purchasing the ride.

Well, technically, Cedar Fair bought both as they own both parks.

I would like to see them keep some of these older rides somewhere on premise, they did not take up alot of room: Ocean motion, Demon Drop, Rotor, Fun House, Giant Slide (which I help retire with a group of hell's angles), Pirate Ride.

I think people are underestimating how high this ride is going to be.
