The average speed for the Great
American Scream Machine from the top of the lift to the brakes is fifty-seven
miles an hour.
From the top of the lift to
the brake run the ride takes just fifty-three seconds.
The Great American Scream Machine
was John Allen's sixteenth coaster and is probably the most loved of
his masterpieces that he built in the 1970's before finally retiring
in 1976 three years and three coasters after this was built.
The out run of the Great American
Scream Machine is fun but the return leg is when it gets insane.
It's just airtime filled hill
after airtime filled hill. You can't complain about that.
