1. OMFG, look at the people hanging off the edges!

I'm an Ironworker, and I wouldn't go near that thing.

Well, I'd climb up the side to fix it, but you know what I mean. :rofl:

13. I just watched a TV show about the making of that coaster, and some others.

Looks awesome!!

That one actually has a little latch that catches right before the downdrop to hold the car for 4 tension-building seconds before letting it plummet. Genius design!
