It is always fun when we go on these behind the scenes tours
watching the faces of the riders as they speed by and an expression
of "what the heck" comes across their faces when they see us.
Behind the scene tours like this are some of the things that make
going to ACE events really special.
Of course one of the other things that make events like Daredevil
Daze a must is the chance to spend time with my "coaster family".
Working our way around the Boss we finally came to the first drop.
It is easy to design a first drop but when the design tram at Custom
Coasters worked on this ride they built the lift a hundred and
twenty seven feet tall. The drop is a hundred and fifty feet
because they worked the ride into the terrain with an amazing double
dip. Being on the hillside the Boss levels out at about the
same height as where the lift began then after a straightaway that
is angled down the bottom drops out of you as the ride plummets to
the bottom of the hundred and fifty foot drop for a truly stellar
start to the ride.
