Why was there some guy moaning when the ride was almost donw

@NoLimitzki NTAG just seems to be ridiculously insane with the amount of airtime it has haha! Well to break the ride down in its elements, the first drop is actually really awesome, then the low to the ground turn is actually much more awesome than it looks and that first large airtime hill is floaty goodness. Then you get the helixes (which I still think are alot of fun) and the airtime hill that is between those is insane. Then you get the last 3 airtime hills which are really fun!

@rollercoasterfan97 I actually have not. I know for a fact however that I just wouldn't enjoy it. I've been very picky with what I consider a "good" ride ever since the New Texas Giant opened at my home park 20 minutes away. Sustaining 10 seconds of approximately 2 G's (judging by the bank of the turn) twice with only one airtime hill in between just doesn't seem like it'd be fun to me.

@NoLimitzki but just because a ride isnt 'fast paced' doesnt mean its not an amazing coaster, or any worse than some coasters that are 'fast paced'.

Sure this roller coaster doesn't have any noticeable twists or turns, but it still feels plenty fast, and has absolutely amazing airtime.

An honest question though, have you been on this ride?

Because really it rides much better than it looks, I was very happily surprised the first time I rode it!

@rollercoasterfan97 There's a difference between being fast and having a fast pace, and this is one of the slowest paced rides I've ever seen. Millennium Force is a close second. Rides like Maverick on the other hand, are technically a bit slower in comparison but you're constantly changing direction and doing crazy shit. This ride doesn't do that.

@NoLimitzki haha, you obviously havent been on this ride :)

The guy who died on this ride had nothing to do with the ride. The guy was a war vet with no legs and the frigging idiot running the ride didn't have the juice to tell him he wasn't allowed to go on the ride. Well he told him but the guy just didn't listen. They also said the guy had a history of suicidal actions. They also think the guy was trying to get himself killed cuz the ride doesn't go upside down at all. They think he did something.

All I know is i didn't get to go on the ride because

@ToriLolz2Kute no, a lay down coaster would have the coaster track above them, like an inverted one does, this is just a regular old giga coaster. still pretty awesome tho
