The Scorpion Rollercoaster at Busch Gardens Tampa, Tampa, Florida

Being designed primarily as a portable ride Scorpion has an extremely compact and very twisted laout.

Scorpion fits in a space 93 by 213 feet so if I ever am able to get Carrie to agree to Bond and I having our own coaster we could fit it in our side yard.

Like the rest of Anton's creations Scorpion "flows" through its 1,876 feet of lift, drop, loop, hills and helices.

It's such a perfect ride that you can't end up with anything but a big grin on your face when you hit the brakes.

Sometimes childhood memories don't really live up to what you remember them to be but in this case Scorpion was just as good and it was great putting my hands up on it this time with my son sitting next to me.
