Octotron, Control Freak, and a few other Belmont Park rides

Opening weekend was MLK holiday and it was warm. The octotron basically just spins. The rider controls the thrill by a stick which runs a motor which creates sommersaults forward or backwards. Releasing the stick will leave the carriage in what position is was, not upright unless the ride ends. People were twirling their carriages and some wewre riding around on their back or stomachs or even inverted. Others just kept the spin going as they could tolerate it. I also added the Beach Blaster, Tilt-a-Whirl, Chaos, Control Freak, and parts of the Giant Dipper.

I bet that was me running Chaos. I was really upset when Belmont traded it for the Octotron.

@EvolutionRider88 The Chaos footage was taken December 5, 2005

@kennykeyboard I didn't start operating Chaos until a week later of that year.
