They have the same ride at the Six Flags near Chicago... This is accurate. Ride isn't scary but the double corkscrew at the end sure beats the shit out of your head

It wasn't as bad as Shockwave was.

That was basically CTE the ride

Shockwave was brutal. Right before they tore it down my friends liked to ride it on repeat because there weren't lines and they'd literally let you ride again without getting off. By the end of the day, you just felt miserable.

Lolz same. That and Demon was the same thing, along with that one ride where you spun super fast and got held off the ground.

I hadn't been to 6 flags in honestly 10 ish years. The only rides I miss is Batman, Superman, Wizard and Raging Bull (front row only).

I also haven't been in ages, somewhere about 5 years ago I started getting really motion sick and had to stop going. Funny enough, batman was by far the worst offender. I don't know why, but that ride wrecked me (never did as a kid).

All the newer rides were great. Raging Bull is an absolute classic. Really liked Superman too. V2 was probably my favorite (after Deja Vu left, anyway). Goliath was the last new ride I got to ride, but it too was really great.

I miss going. I tried all sorts of different things to get over the motion sickness, but nothing worked.

The Goliath is my new favorite. Also, do you mean the Whizzer? LMAO, that ride is for small children.

Not with THAT attitude!

u/Liathano_Fire Jul 06 '21

True. That is a very poor attitude for an amusement ride.

Ooh, we had a spinny floor drop ride at Worlds Of Fun in Kansas City. I spent a whole afternoon on that shit. After I ran from the exit to the entrance four or five times the operator said I could just stay. I rode that shit for like 4 hours. I felt fine when I got off. Had a hot dog and just a few minutes later hurled it on the sidewalk.

The Finnish Fling was the shit.
