It's a tough one to decide
my favorite hyper coaster. It's either Magnum at Cedar Point or
Raging Bull. I just like the airtime and trains on Raging Bull
and the ejection in the back seat on the first drop is wonderful and
still freaks me out.
Here's a nice mix of airtime
and laterals on this hill. Raging bull flows wonderfully, it gives
plenty of changes in motion, airtime, laterals and surprises.
The Bull's finale is a great
figure eight which it's diving down into.
Excuse me while I touch the
sky. Vertical Velocity is a blast of a ride...especially the blast
of the linear induction motors that get you going up to 70 miles per
hour and then sends you straight up.
Bond is exhausted and beat
after a fun day at Great America. Thankfully with the Whizzer
off of the chopping block he'll be able to enjoy it again.
