From the moment you sit in your seat, you know this ride will be different. Whether your facing backwards or forwards you have a feeling this will be unlike anything you have ever experienced. You pull out of the station and after a quick 90* turn you are heading up the lift.
As you crest the lift you are yanked over the top and the ride begins. A small trop and then a raised turn sends you spinning immediately. Drop, turn, up again and your head is spinning and you have …

The Cedar Point Blog reported that the S-curve has been fully installed. They are finishing up a few odds and ends, particularly painting, but other then that it should be ready for testing. According to the site:

I have to say that I had my doubts, but it doesn’t look half …

The train is already on the track, ready for testing.

Last Saturday, May 12th, Journey to Atlantis opened at SeaWorld San Antonio. According to the site, “Journey to Atlantis is the first of its kind in the United States, incorporating elements of a roller coaster and water ride. Its distinguishing features are that riders enjoy part of the ride traveling backwards, enjoy a panoramic view, and plunge into a lake. Journey to Atlantis opens May 12, 2007.”
There are two parts of this ride that I find really interesting. The first is the theming on the boats, which you can see …
