One side of the Racer has trains
that face forward and the other side faces backwards to give you a different
sensation.
Outside of coasters Paramount's Kings Island has a really great carousel with hand carved horses. We are coming
back here in June and this will be Bond's first amusement park visit
and this will be his first carousel.
This carousel is a Philadelphia
Toboggan Coaster carousel as noted by the PTC shield carved into the
horse behind the saddle.
The Vikings Fury is the place to
go if you want to chant back and forth "Great Taste...Less Filling"
as the ship rocks back and forth or at least you can try to get everyone
to sing "Row Row Row Your Boat" as it swings.
Yes you are looking at the Beastie
which is the parent of the Beast and by that train of thought (thanks
Dave Althoff) it is the grandparent of the Son Of Beast.
