Prepare to be launched like you have never been launched before. This is the first public version of the S&S Thrust Air 2000 roller coaster. This crazy contraption takes 8 people per train (4 rows of 2) and straps them in only using a simple t-shaped lap bar. The train slowly creeps around a 90 degree left turn and then you stop. Red... Yellow... Green! All of a sudden you are thrusted from 0 to 80 mph in a mere 1.8 seconds. And if that isn't enough to excite you, this thing then climbs straight up a 90 degree tower, flys over the top, and falls back down another tower. After this you fly through a banked upward turnaround that reaches 40 feet in the air, and then fall back down to earth and pull a few quick turns before a massive camelback. After this airtime maker, your ride is over but I'm sure you'll be getting back in line in no time.
