It was smoother in the front carriage!

I rode this 3 times and loved it.

The track looks like the Loch Ness monster that's still running to this day

0:01 That support is tall lol

I never had any issues with headaches or whiplash on this coaster. In fact- one trip I was there with some buddies till the park closed and since there was nobody in that part of the park, we stayed on this coaster and rode it like 4-5 consecutive times without even having to get up (until the park closed, of course)

0:30 Still blows my mind pipe benders, especially the fact they had to be some of the most experienced in the world at the time, weren't able to bend smooth radius turns over multiple track pieces. I just don't get it. Even by hand, just low effort. I've always loved this coaster though. Truly unique layout. And was Arrow actually FINALLY trying something new after realizing competition was pushing them aside.

I legit think riding this so many times as a young teenage has led to some of my health conditions I have today. Probably got so many concussions riding this and didn't even know it.

I marathoned this ride as a kid the year it came out. Was one of the most fun rides I ever rode at the time. The roughness was overrated, probably by a bunch of 40 year old moms that shouldn't be riding it anyway.

his best solo song.

This ride is truly one of the pivotal attractions in roller coaster history.

It’s basically a B&M coaster in Arrow’s clothing. Interesting concept, poor execution.

Was this ruffer then scream machine at six flags great adventure?

*When you try to be like B&M but fail miserably* I think they had a good idea and a pretty good layout (excluding the roughness and bad transitions) but the execution was very bad.

This was truly one of the coasters at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

Loved this one, think I rode it within the first two years it was open…Yeah it was a lil bit punishing, but it was worth the ride! Too bad they didn’t go bigger and faster from the start…Give it a 200ft drop somewhere and smooth it out a bit and it would have been legendary!

They should bring it back courtesy of Alan Schilke’s computer assisted/Tennessee tornado arrow track design. Make her a bit taller and faster, theme it on the heat of blue fire and add a double corkscrew instead of a single on the finale before the high speed helix under the “boomerang” element!

This is why Roller Coaster Tycoon was invented, so humans didn’t have to be subjected to the whims of a madman.

I never got the chance to ride this. I went to busch gardens for the first time I believe the same year they closed this coaster.

Bring it back! Same layout with a mid tier launch.

I rode this in 1997-1998, don't remember it being excessively rough, but for comparison, I still ride Anaconda at KD... but with my neck sticking out so my ears/head never touch the restraints... on the entry and exit of the break run, and corkscrews. For those who remember, would that strategy have worked here, for example on the cobra roll and corkscrew parts?

Why cant i find this song anymore? 😭😭

They closed it because all of these complaints I I rode that thing several times now you do have to hold on keep your body pretty stiff because you're the g-forces it was probably the one best rides I've ever had

I rode this many times. Such great memories.

How long did you have to wait in line for such a short ride? just curious I remember having to wait 2to3 hours for a three minute ride totally ridiculous.👍😁😎

You can tell it was trying SO very hard to be a B&M !

Arrow Dynamics engineers: "Heartlining? What the hell is that?"

I love it

This is the best designed roller coaster by arrow(referring to the layout) outside of their multi dimension coasters, this looks so wild. It’s a shame arrow could never figure out the head banging/transitions very well

Even though this video is dubbed, it's the best POV of this coster out there.

Just watching this gives me a headache

Why is it so janky yet it feels like a B&M?

Oof f your brain

Still smoother than coasters in planet coaster

I remember riding this for the first time and cut my knee on the edge of the train and I had to go to first aid. Once they put a bandage on my knee and asked was I okay, I got right back in line and wrote it about 7 more times. The trains were horrible. The only trains that I really like are Intamin trains.

It had a good layout it just needed stuff like better trains and such

I rode this coaster 5x in a row at the end of the day with my daughters when the park was about to close. The operators just kept asking us "want to go again". We could barely walk when we were done. I feel my head bumping the side restraints a couple of times just watching this video!😵‍💫

Can't believe there was a cutback element on this thing.

I always thought the crap about hurt necks etc started with 1 person and it just spread to give people something to cry about. This ride was not rough...but I was also 13 at the time

I wish I would have been able to ride this coaster. It looked so cool. I have seen coasters that are much rougher than this. I want to become an engineer that designs rides for Busch gardens and I would love to pitch an idea similar to this but there are parts I would definitely change

This was the the most painful rollercoaster I've ever been on. The soreness took the fun away unfortunately...

I’m glad I was able to ride this coaster several times before they shut it down. I don’t think it was rough. It did give the rider high g forces. The same roller coaster was built in another theme park and a person died while riding it. That’s the reason why they closed the one at Bush Gardens.

Omgggg I wish I got to ride thisssss

It doesn't look that rough. Rough rides would shake these old cameras and cause the image to distort and studder this didn't do that.

My head hurts just watching this lol

This roller coaster was responsible for sabotaging at least 3 visits after sustaining severe headaches. Riding through the corkscrews felt like someone was slamming a rubber mallet against my head repeatedly. I chalked it up to "maybe I'm getting too old for this" even though I was in my 20's. Stayed away from roller coasters in general for a few years after that. Now I feel a bit validated learning that others felt the same way.

This was an AWESOME ride. I would love to see it make a comeback somewhere. It was epic!

One of the few Arrows that I really liked. this layout was one of a kind. Shame she's gone.

First coaster I’ve ever seen with a cutback inversion

this was worse than the ninja at six flags

its like someone turned down the gravity
