Hello all,

A little over a week ago, I went to SFOG with some friends for the first time. Overall good park, but there is a beast that resides there that I will probably NEVER ride again.....

This monster you see in the picture above is the most painful steel coaster I've been on lol. I feel like with a trip to the design board, it has the potential to be a good coaster. However, right now, it had to be the most unpleasurable experience ever. Usually I hear keeping your head back will prevent your head from banging the OTSR, but that didn't work nor did tilting my head forward... as that made it worse lol. My question is, has anyone one here ever rode this? If so, was it a rough ride for you?

It's been a while since I been at Six Flags over Georgia. It's been like the 90's when I went and I think that coaster wasn't there at the time. Look's crazy and fun, but if it's rough well that going to be disappointed. I sure wanted to hear too from more people who rode this.

i rode it while there in june. its definitely the typical "may cause bleeding from ears" Vekoma. fortunately, im tall enough to get tightly wedged in under the otsr since they hit the top of my shoulders before anything else. that helps a lot, but the ride was still a "one and done" during my 2 days there.

Vekoma always frustrates me... they have such incredibly awesome track layouts, but the rides are just too rough. id love to see b&m take a crack at a compact invert design comparable to the typical vekoma slc.
