day started at about 5pm. Here's the ride entrance with the decent into
the
brake run to the right and you can just see the Grizzly behind the sign
to the left.
The ride was built
right in the middle of the midway. You can walk up to just about every
part of the ride.
Here's one of the wheels' that spins VERY fast when the
ride launches!
BAM!!! There
goes the train less than 10 feet in front of me at 80MPH!
The train goes from
being on the ground to 165 feet in the air in just about 2.5
seconds!
Then the vertical
drop right down the other side of the tower.
The train takes
this twisted turn around VERY smoothly!
Dave Escalante
thinks the ride is amazing!
Another train load
of riders gets blasted up the 90 degree, vertical tower!
This camel back
before the brake run produces some amazing airtime!4
As intense as the
ride is, it's very smooth and VERY quiet!
King's Dominion
celebrated the opening with this cake!
