That thing called high energy (i think) looks crazy! how does that work? is it just a modifacation to a skyscraper?

[ChuckR]

It was alot more intense than any Skyscraper I have been on! The G-Forces were pretty intense!

Parkour looks really cool. Kind of reminds me of the monster rides we had here.

The olympics roller coaster looks oddly familiar, Is it like the one that was in AstroWorld?

[kingdakafan]

there are several of those roller coasters i beleve. one of which is indoors (i think)

Chuck, thanks so much for posting this!  I, and many others, truly enjoyed it!

Yeah there are versions slightly different, but similar looping, such as the one from Six Flags AstroWorld.

The indoor one you are referring to I believe is Mindbender at Galaxyland.

That Astroworld coaster, as you call it, was later at what is now Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in California.  I rode it both places.  The restraint system used in America was rather painful...somewhat like Viper's was at Great Adventure, but even worse.

Hmm, I wonder because the restraint system on Olympia Looping was painful as well...

There are steel rides worse than viper?
Damn, I would of thought that viper would be the end of painful steel rides.

[GADVwow]

There are far worse rides, and some of them run yet today.  One, in my humble opinion, is Ninja at Six Flags Over Georgia.  I seldom even ride it.  And Zamperla's Flying Coasters are far, far worse.  See, for instance, Time Warp at Canada's Wonderland (all thumbnails are clickable):

Super Flight at Playland is essentially the same ride. 

Here are the others:

Some of us actually liked Viper.  It was certainly no more painful than say, Steel Phantom at Kennywood, or Batman and Robin: The Chiller when they opened, or the Outer Limits: Flights of Fear and Messrs Freeze when they had over the shoulder restraints.

I didn't like Viper. And from your opinions I probably wouldn't like the zonga's cousins, too.

I don't think he was saying the coaster was worse than Viper, the restraint system was similar, but worse.
