There was a day in my life, before my back became an issue, That I would have said...”Let’s go...about three or four times!”

I wonder how many people get sick on this ride.

The tallest comes from the overall height. The terrifying comes from the fact it takes you through Camden.

As I recall from my 1967 physics class, 128 mph is the maximum speed a falling body can reach at sea level.

That means you should experience a couple seconds of zero G weightlessness.

I would imagine there’s plenty of vomiting and I ain’t having any of that. Uh,uh.

I actually begin to panic if I’m in close quarters with someone who is about to vomit.
