      My only problem with SLCs, and most shoulder restraints really, is that I'm way too tall and have to arch my back to fit. I end up wedged in there pretty well with some bruised shoulders after a long day at a big park but thats it.

      I mean, it's a short ride, while Shivering Timbers is quite long and the water park is so fun you can spend 4 hours there and lose track of time. Wildcat should get RMC'd.

    If I ever win the lottery I would bring this ride, dominator, and steel venom back to Ohio. This ride would get a retrack and new vekoma trains and would be named back to its old name serial thriller, ide have intamin outfit steel venom with more powerful lsm mottors and add a second twisted spike like wicked twister. Would also have a big vertical loop installed before you went up the spike. Last dominator is still in pretty good shape but ide have new trains purchased for it. I would try to recover as many of the geauga lake coasters as I could and bring them back to Ohio. Night even buy the corkscrew they closed and moved before the park closed.
