     Introduced in 1988 as the worlds tallest and fasted steel-looping coaster is still one of the tallest and fastest steel-looping in the world. Travaling 170 feet down to the ground on a turn into the first of 7 inversions at 65 mph. Short lines and good quality will make you want to come back for more or sometimes if you please stay on the ride and go on a coaster marathon (only when no one is in your line may this happen which it does a lot).
