...Shock Wave!

The Shock Wave Rollercoaster at Six Flags Over Texas, Arlington, TX

Shock Wave has been THE coaster at Six Flags Over Texas since it opened up in 1978. I just love that they still have it's classic sign up. It just has that wonderful late 70's early 80's look that makes me think about video game arcades, big hair and the sounds of Journey blasting out of my "Boom Box".

In 1978 when Shock Wave opened this 116 foot tall lift hill made it the tallest coaster in the world.
