As you can see by all of the hair that is airborne in this photo if you
love the negative-g's like myself you won't be disappointed by White
Lightning.
One of the things that I wish the amusement park industry would stand
up and notice about little coasters like White Lightning or the Gravity
Group designed Wooden Warrior at
Quassy
Amusement Park is that you don't have to go massive with an equally
massive budget to make a great ride.
For example Orion at Kings Island
cost $30 million dollars.
Cedar Fair has twelve parks. If they took that $30 million and put
it into fun little coasters like this they could add a new coaster to
eight of their parks.
The return on investment for eight fun rides that everyone over 46
inches tall could enjoy the heck out of has to be significantly easier
than one coaster for $30 million. While yes I love me a big giga
coaster like Orion but I'd rather see eight fun as hell coasters like
White Lightning pop up at parks like
Worlds of Fun or
Valleyfair that haven't seen a
new coaster or well over a decade.
