View Park/Ride Count 		On the features, it says the loop was removed after an accident...correct me If i'm wrong but the loop had nothing to do with the accident...it was removed to make way for lighter trains which would cause less of an impact on the rest of the coaster itself.

View Park/Ride Count 		Was a great ride, especially beginning. A little rough though.

View Park/Ride Count 		Ok the worst part about this ride is the lift. The anti rollbacks are stupidly loud, like almost deafening. The ride isn't that rough in the front half of the train but you really feel it in the back seat over wheels.
