By actively trying to kill you I mean that good Lord this ride doesn't just push the limits but it pushes YOU to the limits by whipping you left and right, slamming you down into your seat and half a nanosecond later ejecting you up against the restraints with premeditated violence.  Oh my God it is so good!  I mean just look on all of the faces of the riders in this photo.  You have the look of shock, awe, joy and pure terror with several people, especially those in the back row holding on for their lives unsure if they are going to survive the next few seconds.  You live the hardest when you are closest to death and I'm sure some of those people were thinking of kissing the ground when they got off of Skyrush.

I expected Skyrush to be good but wow with it the second coaster of our five day seven park trip I was already completely blown away!



After hitting his 50th and 100th coaster on kiddie coasters Skyrush gave John a memorable coaster for his 200th.



I am not the only one in the family with a fanny pack full of camera gear who likes to find the cool out of the way places to grab a few cool coaster pictures as Bond is following in my footsteps.



Just across the midway from Skyrush is a coaster that I had been looking forward to riding since July of 1977.



Opening on July 4th, 1977 the Sooper Dooper Looper opened as the first looping coaster on the East Coast.  Back then I was just five years old and I was just starting to be afflicted with "coaster fever".
