For those of you who don't know, Eejanaika is an S&S/Arrow "4th Dimension"
roller coaster much like "X" at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
Now that is one STEEP DROP!!!
Click HERE for an
Eejanaika
video including complete onride footage of the ride!
What makes Eejanaika so unique is that as the train travels around the
track, the seats are able to rotate
independently of the maneuvers the the train makes. The combination of
seat rotates and train position can make for a very exciting ride!
Here you can see the seats rotating. Look at the seat position of
the back row versus the front row!
The entrance way looks really cool....
...it's all decked out with awesome Japanese stuff!
The first drop TOWERS over the ride entrance!
Yeah, the ride is pretty damn big!
This is what's called a "Full-Full" meaning the train does a complete
rotation while the cars on the train ALSO do a full rotation!
Yes, get your barf bags ready! =)
This would be the 2nd Raven turn which is one of the last elements before
you hit the brakes.
Hang on tight!!!
Yay! Now it's our turn to ride!
In the station everyone is strapped in and bolted to the seat!
It's a party in the control room!
And this monstrosity helps guide the train around the track.
The station, like the entrance, has cool looking "Japanese stuff!"
We like that! ;)
Ok, are you ready for YOUR ride!
