Montezooma's Revenge - Passengers are catapulted from 0 to 80mph in 4 seconds,
then through a loop.
Straight up (2nd pic) they are halted by gravity and then cars hurtle backwards
at about 60 mph through
the loading platform on the left and on to vertical again. Gravity again
slows the cars and the passengers
are braked at the loading dock. Entire ride: 32 seconds. NOT
scary. Thrilling.
I rode it maybe 5 times in 1975, ONCE in 2001. Michael went haywire and rode
it 3 times by himself.
