The Wild Thing Rollercoaster At Valleyfair, Shakopee, Minnesota

The crest of Wild Thing's lift hill is kind of weird.

On most coasters once you've crested the lift the hill starts to curve down sharply but on Wild Thing you've got this little pause in the rate of descent that is just different.  I just want the drop to happen sooner I guess.

Once you get past Wild Thing's idiosyncrasy it's time to plummet to the ground.

After Wild Thing's 195 foot first drop that gets you going about seventy four miles per hour there's this nice low speed hill that gives some great negative g's.
