The Powder Keg rollercoaster at Silver Dollar City, Branson, MO

I was completely blown away (sorry for the pun) by Powder Keg's launch.  It had such power and force that I haven't felt on a coaster since I rode the Montezooma's Revenge Schwarzkopf fly wheel launch coaster over at Knott's Berry Farm.  It just took my breath away.

Before the shock of the launch is over you are propelled over the first of many airtime hills where the awe of the valley that is suddenly before you completely blows you away.  It's just too incredible to describe.

You can tell which track is new and old on Powder Keg.  If you look on the lift the spineless track is from Buzz Saw Falls that was built by Premier Rides.  The track with a spine is from S&S who took a little of the old and added to it to make a coaster that's going to seriously change my coaster rankings.
