the date was yesterday july 18 but they tore it down already?im going august 6 and i wanna take pictures of it to remember it :P i alwaysed wanted to go on that ride :( every year i was to short DX RIP now im finally tall enought and i cant go on it! FAIL
I went on it on Saturday, I kept my eyes closed the whole time. My friends went on it 6 times in a row because the line was short and they convinced me to go on it.
Wow...i didn't realize till seeing this video that the trim brakes on this ride before the cobra roll actually stop the train completely? That's crazy. I've been on many Arrow coasters at different parks, and yes the trim brakes slow you down before a certain element, but never that much lol!
Great camera work. I heard a lot of bad things about this coaster before going on it. A lot of people told me to skip it completely because it gave them headaches. I'm glad I went on it to see for myself. Lots of fun but the harness dug into my shoulders. No headaches, though. It seems like it would be easy just to put some more comfortable restraints on this. Adrenaline and fear are great, neck and shoulder pain just suck.
Phenomenal camera work. I haven't been on this ride yet. I keep hearing that it is poorly designed and gives you a headache from slamming your head into the shoulder harness. Is this true? Anyway, kudos for keeping the camera so steady and giving me a good idea of what it's like to ride this thing.

I rode this thing in 1989, my senior year of high school. Not as hairy as the coasters that came after it, but still fun nonetheless!

Nope.
This ride was built in 1989 and is still in operation.
The ride your thinking of was called Shockwave (a slightly smaller clone of this ride) and it opened 1988 and was torn down for scrap metal in 2003.

The ride is old, and bangs you around a bit. I went on it 5 times in a row without getting a headache, but the other guy puked afterwards.
