This was a great ride. I can't believe they got rid of it. Spinning your cabin at 130 feet high was so great.

Rare and unique, what else can I say? This ride was awesome. I just hope a park in the US gets one, because there aren't any left in the US.

This ride was crazy...I went on this a while ago w/my brother and dad...while we were standing online my brother mentioned that he hopes we are put into a cabin w/people that want to spin really fast. It so happened we were standing next to a father and his son who had the same idea.

So...basically, they were able to spin this thing so fast that it was like sitting in a gravitron for 5 min in there air. The best part was since there was no way to slow the cabin down before we touched down...the cabin came to the most abrupt stop when we touched down that everyone slammed into eachother.

It was a great ride.
