ur pain threshold dependson if it hurts imo, but id be more worried about a bug or something like that hitting u at 128 mph then the ride itself causing you any pain lol. i always ride front ride arms up the whole way
if it doesn't make my cheeks flap when I ride it, then I don't care!

Are they going to tear it down at the end of the year though? I heard Universal Orlando Wanted it

I heard if they do install it in Universal, they are going to add Maverick's inline roll to the end of the launch track.


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

I heard that too! Apparently they want to "plus" it similarly to Medusa/Bizarro. It's the same track gauge so it will work! All they have to do is paint the rest of the track red and they can advertise the ride as the all new "Superman Ride of Steel" coaster next year!

I heard that they were going to answer the complaints about the lack of a light package by adding more airplane beacons.  Wack.

No. We are just making jokes. Don't worry. Even if they wanted to, I doubt anyone would buy it ;)

Don't get me started on the lack of lighting on that thing.
