Talk about a headbanging-fest. That would make me NOT want to ride...

It really was just as rough, if not less than going forewards. It's way better than thunder road backwards!

i woulden't know if thunder road backwards was fun(don't you hate it when a ride is closed and you've been looking forward to it your whole life?)



i still think they should turn the trains backwards,




<sarcasm>what if the turned the trains backwards on every coaster! that'd be cool!(and irritating)<sarcasm>

You would ruin Top Gun, and Vortex and every other stand up coaster would be too extreme. I do think it is a good idea for arrow loopers though.

Arrow Loopers!?

I don't think riding those backwards would be fun, at least the old ones, because those are suckers are rough anyways! Riding them forward hurts enough, let alone riding them backwards.

I almost never get sick on rollercoasters, I rode the Shockwave at Six Flags Great America 15 times in a row, and I didn't get sick. I do get sick on flats though.

i only get sick the next day,like once i went to a fair in winston salem and rode a delerium 4 times,a zipper 2,a super looper once,a rigged music express(the cars swing back and fourth while it's going around,and it goes much much higher and the drops are bigger),a zyklon model roller coaster,a rainbow ride, a gravitron, a regular music express,and a ride like Whirling Dervish.i had a big headache and nasuea the next day.




i wish i could ride a boomerang, but they're all too far away.



<sarcasim>what if they put invertigo trains on top gun,that would be wierd<sarcasim>

I think carowinds needs a boomerang of sort really bad. I would want an Invertigo if I could choose. Carowinds also needs a launched coaster (Mr. Freeze).

definitly not an invertigo,they might be fun but you needa be one of the first in line to ride it within the next 2 hours,the have only 600 capacity per hour,and that's when they're working FAST




hehehe mr freeze?? that'd be cool,i woulden't ride it if it only had lap bars though,



i might go to philidelphia this summer and we might go to <a href='http://www.coastergallery.com/2000T/morey.html' target='_blank'>Morey's Piers</a> in wildwood N.J.
that has a boomerang,so if we go there then i can ride one.

Back in 97 while working i heard they were going to turn one train around on all there coasters. I heard it again after the build TG. Whats the hold up, they really need to do this.
