One thing that I wanted to mention before we are done with Maxx
Force was our second ride. As we sat there patiently waiting to
launch Bond mentioned that this launch was no big deal.
Preparing to be shot out like a cannon ball I had my head back and rams
mostly down I had a second to comment "are you nuts" before we were
catapulted up to seventy-eight miles an hour in under two seconds.
As the slam of the launch kicked in Bond was thrown back into the seat
and a scream of pure terror roared out of his mouth as the ride reminded
him that Maxx Force was no gradual launch. Needless to say when we
finished our day on our third ride he respected Maxx Force's launch.
Finishing up the twenty-three second ride on Maxx Force there is another
brief moment of bliss as the train heads up into a dive loop...
...where you just hang there with nothing but a lap bar holding you in.
