@wickedestplace it was the engineering. Arrow designed their coasters using the center of the car as the center of gravity. It works for simple straight drops, loops, and corkscrews, but when arrow tried to do more complex elemtents it made the ride rough as all hell. companies like B&M use the rider's heartline as the center of gravity, resulting in smoother rides

oh ya, i was one of the lucky ones that actuall got to ride it while it was in williamsburg

[wickedestplace]

i remember riding this ride in it's debut. very fun ride although not sure if it was design or just track welds because it beat me half to death.

Hah! the music in the background was in the promotional video for their suspended coaster "the bat" in 1981!

@Someonece I was born the year it opened and didn't get to ride it... I didn't go to Busch Gardens until 2008
