I've ridden many a roller coaster in my day and this one in Illinois is rather tame by comparison. However, it has a history that tells a different story. Over 46 years ago, it injured 31 people in two different incidents just weeks apart.
If the fastest acceleration in North America combined with the tallest and fastest double-inversion in the world appeals to you, you're gonna love this.
Y'know, I'll never forget my last ride on a roller coaster. Because that's what it was--my last ride on a roller coaster. I was in my early 20s, and despite having had a miserable experience on every previous roller coaster spin I'd taken, I thought that this time would be better, because a very pretty girl asked me ever-so-sweetly to ride with her. That was a big error on both our parts.
