"...a one-of-a-kind 95-degree drop"

It's one-of-a-kind because all the others dropped their passengers onto the pavement on the first run. 95 degrees is rough.

I love tall fast coasters, and until I was about 55 I rode a lot of them. I don’t do that any more, my 70+ body won’t take it well. But they are great fun.

For liability insurance reasons they might want to consider setting up an EKG station and clearance to ride it. lol

[Jim W N]

Hope there's no Didn't Earn It in the manufacture and maintenance of this beast...

[PhillyPhreeper]

I tend to stay away from coasters. Coming from the engineering/construction industry I can’t help thinking “low bid”.

[ConservativeMind]

I will consider that.

I’ve been there and to other amusement parks for their most thrilling rides.

This sounds intriguing!

Specialized jobs like this with human life at stake are built upon contractor relationships over many years, not "low bid." Welds especially are inspected. This isn't kindergarten or government work. The insurance companies are involved.

A ping out to the Texas Ping list, founded by Windflier.

A Texas ping! bringing to your attention that Six Flags will need more security for all the new roller coaster aficionados!

Another special Texas summer edition for your perusal.

As always, please FReepmail me if you want on or off the Texas Ping list.

Blessings, and stay cool!

Sigh. I wish I could ride amusement park rides, as I always had an iron stomach and enjoyed those kinds of things, even though they were maintained and operated by “Carney Folk”.

Now, I have the inner ear stuff that goes with age. I was able to ride on one of those rides that has the chair attached by chains, and it swings you out around 45-60 degrees, and my head was swimming. Darn it. But I didn’t hurl, and enjoyed it.

Here’s your virtual ride of this monster coaster ...

This ride sounds like a Vomit Comet. Ye-ha!!

[Jane Long]

Maybe you can still enjoy the log rides!

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

Nothing could possibly go wrong.

[rlmorel]

I did do the log ride all these years ago!

However, I don't believe I will ever go back to one of those big parks (I think this was in King's Dominion Amusement Park back in the late Seventies or early Eighties) not just because of the cost, but because of the people who roam around and cause trouble in them.

Benjamin Crump on speed dial yet?

[Jane Long]

I hear ya.

That looks like a good one!!

We used to love Splash Mountain in the Days Before Woke.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Will the people operating the ride have more tattoos than teeth?

[ConservativeMind]

I've been to King's Dominion. I recall having perhaps the best lemonade shake-up of my life, there.

It was a nice place, when I went, decades ago.

95 degrees is 5 degrees past vertical. Not sure I believe that. 85 degrees is more likely.
