My mum rode that on the first day it opened

@natekproductions1 The one at Cedar Point is not a replica of this. The one at Ceder Point is an Arrow Dynamics Custom Looping coaster which features both a loop and a double corkscrew. This is a Vekoma Mk-1200 Corkscrew with Bayerncurve and only has 2 corkscrews.
