Well I obviously survived the ride or heaven has kickin' net access.  Gauntlet and it's Vekoma brethren look cool, but wow do they stink.  It may not have killed me but it sure made me wish I was with the insane head banging, sudden jerks and intense roughness. 

The owner of Magic Springs started up the latest incarnation of Kentucky Kingdom before selling out to Six Flags and purchased the first SLC there.  One would have thought he had learned his lesson but obviously he didn't.



Plummet Summit is a nice looking shoot the chutes that I'm sure would make any hot Arkansas summer day a bit more bearable.



From Gauntlet you can see X Coaster looming over head.  This twisted insane sculpture of steel beckoned us away from Gauntlet which wasn't that hard after our one painful ride.



On the way to X Coaster we ran into the Diamond Mine Run.
