@danny12315 oh my god this is basically why theme park employees (and everyone else) can't stand most coaster enthusiasts--so what if you run a website, you're the general public just like anyone else haha
There might only be 2 vertical loops, but they are LAZY slow loops have that a POWERFUL push against you. There are faster coasters with more loops, but you do not feel them or experience their loops for nearly as long. Wonderfully great coaster, and my favorite.
I rode this yesterday and I must say that loop d loop is so STRONG I help both of my hands up and it slapped me down onto the lap bar but I LOVE THIS RIDE
@monkeyluv60 Yup! Lap bars only, but that makes it even more fun. Also, about the third loop... it's technically horizontal, and a lot of people don't really consider it to be a loop. It's from 1:28 to 1:34, I believe.
the mindbender was my first coaster... i didnt know it had 3 loops. my friend told me it did when we were going up the hil and when i went down i screamed holy $h!t!
they didn't fix the lap bar right over my legs because i'm so tall and could barely fit my knees under it, so one knee wasn't under the bar, and going through the loops i almost flew completely out of this ride, and i had to press my knee as hard as i could against the bar to hold it under it; i was screaming at my friend to pull me down as i was flying up above him, and he couldn't hear me and kept screaming for the ride; those behind me saw it and helped pull me down; i bitched at the workers
Were you at all waiting for a tree branch to smack you? That's what I would've been thinking. & w/ my luck I actually would've been hit by one too... Awesome vids man.
@bigpboy1012 it opened march 25th 1978..when i first saw the mindbender i thought it was the ugliest coaster in the world it was a grayish silver color with a blue sewage round tunnel, which they got rid of a year later and check this out in 1979 the mindbender made a siren noise whenever it hit the first loop..they should bring that siren back.
whoever made this video doesnt know what theyre talking about, theres no such thing as a horizonal loop, this roller coaster has 2 inversions. I could have understood if you were referringt o a helix (though that would still be wrong), but this doesnt even have one of those.
@skitzo429 We run one of the largest & most comprehensive roller coaster/theme park websites in the world, so we do know what we're talking about. There is such thing as a horizonal loop & there are quite a few coasters with non-inversion loops. The newest is Hollywood, Rip, Ride, Rockit at Universal Studios Florida.
@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom Im familiar with the ride, its considered the textbook "non inverting loop," there are no analogous track elemnts on mind bender corresponding to the noninverting loop on hollywood rip ride rockit. Since when did any marginally circular noninverting track element become a loop? I dont buy that this is a 'terrain coaster' either, that would seem to have to encompass all ride with drops down to the ground, the Beast and the thunderbolt are terrain coasters.
It goes upside-down 2 times and has 2 loops. That thing on it's side. It means it's on it's side not upside-down. And just because it's upside-down doesn't mean it's a loop. There are corkscrews heartline rolls cobra rolls etc.
@skitzo429 There are coasters that have non-inverting loops. The best example is the new Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit coaster at Universal Studios Florida. It has a huge loop, but the coaster never inverts. It was designed that way to be more family friendly.
IT HAS 3 LOOPS PPL!!! theres 2 verticle then one on its side AND YES IT IS CONSIDERED A LOOP ITS JUST LAYED ON ITS SIDE!!!!!! its a very fun not to scary roller coaster though its a classic...
Okay to clear things up. There is really only 2 loops/inversions. The park advertised it has having 3 loops/inversions to increase publicity. The park considered the dive at 1:29 to be a inversion., but it's not. Corkscrew at Cedar Point was the first coaster to have 3 inversions.
Well, both of you guys are wrong, it has 3 loops it's just that one of the loops go doesn't upside down, it is between 1:27 to 1:36. So yea... it's hard to find but it's there. A loop doesn't have to go upside down always. Just here to help :D
Umm....No. It was designed by Werner Stengel and built by Schwarzkopf, always intended to have 2 full loops. If you look at 1:55 like you said, there's no room to fit another loop. And why would they build the ride with 3 loops, test it, then a mere month before opening remove it, get more steel, and build it back without a record-breaking loop? Not only is it BS, but it's also not logical. And I can tell from your profile you have a LOT of room to talk about coasters. Get your facts straight.
Nope, it's the same! Execpt the new "hair gel" cars are SO STUPID!!! They are the same desing of the old cars, just with different paint, and it's from U2 hair gel or something...it's been there this entire year and it's annoying...
I love this ride! I just wanted to point out one thing. One of the cool things about this coaster is that it actually has 3 loops, 2 vertical and 1 horizontal. It was the world's first 3 looping coaster! :)
Well, the only reason I say it's a "loop" is because on Wikipedia it says that exact statement that it has 3. Type in Six Flags Over Georgia and at the bottom of the page it will have a list of all the current and past rides. Mindbender will be listed there and it says that in the description...somewhere. I get what you mean though, I wouldn't really say it's a loop, but that's what it says on Wikipedia...
