Yeah, I remember the commercial promoting this ride when I was a pre-teen, in the summer of 1980. Everybody wanted to go to KBF that summer to ride it. It was a very popular and fun ride, don't know why they replaced it with that Windjammer junk. But I do like Xcelerator though, lol!!
This use to be a bike ride (using the same rail system here) and it was ten times scarier because the only thing securing you was a leather seatbelt. I remember the sensation of falling off the bike because their one-size fits all belt was so loose.
when this ride was new it was well themed and really fun.. all through the 80's they chipped away at it and by the time this video was made there was nothing left .

The technology seems very similar to the old steeplechase ride at Coney Island.

Such memories! I remember riding it, thinking that leaning into the turns would make a crap load of difference. Such fun.
