With one last pop of airtime Gold Rusher sends you into the brake
run. Don't worry you can be like me and if there is no one in line
for your seat Six Flags will let you stay on. Like Ninja I lost
count somewhere after my 40th lap.
Across the way from Gold Rusher is one of the few stand up coasters by
Bolliger & Mabillard that probably won't be turned into a floorless
coaster; like so many other stand up coasters of recent, as the park already has one.
I do have to admit if you filled a park with all of the different styles
of steel coasters like mine trains, looping coasters, floorless, flying,
4D, hyper, giga, strata, launched, family, inverted, suspended the
standing coaster would probably he near the bottom of the list as to the
order that I ride them.
Riddler's Revenge is a fun looping coaster with six inversions.
When it originally opened the coaster was wrapped around Six Flags Magic
Mountain's first generation Intamin freefall ride. One of
Riddler's final corkscrews looped right over Freefall's brake run.
Sitting down to write this going through my mind wondering which of the
stand up coasters that I have experienced is the best. I'm torn a
bit between Riddler's Revenge and the Georgia Scorcher. Both of
those were the last stand up coasters designed by Bolliger & Mabillard
so we may just end up with a tie.
