    Let's all take a moment to appreciate how Jacob will terrify himself for our entertainment. Whenever he screams like a little girl, I giggle like one. We are all terrible people and we should be ashamed of ourselves.

      Why must you gender things? I'm a girl and I rode the original Dragster, numerous times. I honestly thought it was kinda lame to wait in a line that long for a ride that short, even if it had an awesome launch (this version seems to be more about the spike than the launch). If I'm waiting in a line that long, give me a good and long ride. Like Steel Vengeance.

I'm not a regular here, just a coaster girl with little care about the other aspects of a park unless I'm part of them, initially watched some Carpetbagger videos because I was in a haunted house he walked through and I wanted to see how he captured my performance (I certainly disagree with his preference of dark rides over coasters but you know, the diversity of the theme park community is beautiful. I love that people as different as a me and Carpetbagger can both find a lot of reasons to love our theme parks we go to).

    The coaster only goes half-way up on the first attempt. It's a triple-launch coaster.
    That means you get your initial launch halfway up the tower, then you come back and launch backwards up the rear tower, and then launch forward again for the real deal.
    Each launch adds some energy. This is to prevent the whiplash of instant acceleration like they used to do.

    The guys sitting behind you are the most nonchalant people ive ever seen on a roller coaster

    This looks really good and better-designed. Doing a 3-stage rolling-launch probably saves hardware wear and tear and is more comfortable since it doesn't have to plaster riders against the headrest from a standstill, and the transfer track improves loading/capacity since rollback isn't an issue. I assume there might be situations where the second forward climb might not make it all the way over, but they can just launch again.

    Scream of terror followed right away by "the view from the top looks really good"
