I love a good kick in the pants and Vertical Velocity certainly dishes
that up when it launches out of the station.
Vertical Velocity races back and forth accelerating as it speeds up to seventy
miles an hour.
The forward and reverse launches are fun but I really love plummeting straight
down the 90 degree back spike after coasting to a stall.
Logger's Run is an oldie but a goodie. The expressions on the faces
of these two girls are great.
They looked completely freaked out but I bet they were all smiles, laughs
and a little damp as they exited the ride ready to go again. The fun
that comes out of a little fear is one of the many reasons people keep coming
to parks like Six Flags Great America.
