I'm sorry that you were feeling ill after this ride. The ride has been going at this speed ever since I was little (I'm 51 now) and probably for a long time before that. I doubt that the new company will do anything with the speed. They would have to do something physically with the motor or drive system to slow it down since its not computer controlled.
@lovinustinks588 If I remember correctly the lady wasn't actually on the ride, but was under the roof either waiting in line or seeking shelter from the storm, when the roof collapsed
This ride is awesome, it's just a shame they never re-built the roof, and that they changed the cars from that cool pattern to what they are now, solid colors with "Whip" on the back of them
Robert Rose it probably just seemed bigger. It’s the same size ride that it’s always been. The roof would have to be bigger than the ride to encompass it, so it might appear bigger. I believe the original building and roof, by the old Log Jammer was bigger than the one they built here.
Mikayla DeFazio Nah, the roof was gone WAY before 2006 or 2007. The roof of the Whip collapsed in June of 2002, so the video had to of been taken before then.
Dang. I remember when the ride used to be like this. They moved it and now it has no roof. Some memory.
I like that u can hear the radio call from the extremeant

I remember when the the microburst happened. It was our school picnic and a bunch of my friends were there
Not a tornado but a Micro-burst. Very strong downdraft of wind but in a straight line, not like the twisting of a tornado.
I noticed that the ride moves alot slower without the roof than it did with it. it practically zoomed on the corners.
@kpdave she was by the building not under it, plus it didn't collapse a piece of roof hit her. The tore it down.
Is it just me or did the ride seem bigger when it had the roof?

Ya some girl died wen the roof collapsed. my family didnt let me go on that until they said that they werent gonna rebuild the roof
Was this before the roof collapsed and killed someone
didnt the company that built the roof get sued over thing collapsing?
9 years ago today that the roof came down
What year is that
pretty sure it was 2006 or 2007.
