Guest norm[T12SDSUD] Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 WWWWOOOOOOOOO HHHHHOOOOOO!!! Now this is what I call a vacation!! I got to ride the best ride in the world tonight in Kissimmee Florida off US 192 next to Old Town beside Disney World. It's a steam driven catapulted Mustang drag car!! It applies the equivalent of 3000 HP to the race car!!!!!!! This thing is incredible!! I had a .04 RT on a Pro tree and turned 112 mph in 1.76 seconds in 200 feet and then you stop in less than 2 seconds!!!! You guys HAVE to visit this ride the next time you come to Orlando!! They strap you into a five point harness and then you line up next to another identical car and off you go!! I got beat the third time by a girl that worked there! She had an .03 light against my .05 . She won $200 bet from the ride owner when she cut a .00 to his .01 light!! The catapult compensates for weight to get identical times and you can take your kid along with you in the passenger seat as long as he is over 52 inches tall. I did it three times and the first time was just a frightening scare!!! The second and third time was even better as I knew what to expect! This ride is faster than an F14 on takeoff !!! You pull 4.5 G's BUT the ride is capable of 7 G's but is limited to 4.5 G's due to possible eye damage from the incredible fast stops!!!! AIN'T NOTHING like it and if I was a RICH man I'd ride it every day!! Oh yeah it costs $30 ,but if it's slow they let you ride for $20 and then $10 to go every time thereafter!! DON'T MISS THIS RIDE !!!!!! Here's the website!! http://www.skycoaster.cc/gffact.htm Later,Norm 12.804 @ 107.26 mph on Street Tires N/A 2.9L Dual SU powered http://grannypotts.freeservers.com/NormPics.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 sounds kind of like top thrill dragster at cedar point in cleveland ohio. Its 0 to 125 mph in like 2 seconds or less plus it goes like 300 feet in the air its the tallest fastest roller coaster in the country at the time I believe.

Guest squalor Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Baddest coaster I ever rode was the Kracken at Sea World, Orlando. That catapulted Mustang sounds even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I was just at Old Town in June checking out a car show, and saw that ride! It looked like a blast, not to mention very loud when the steam released Unfortunetly I didn't go on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 How could you guys come to Orlando and not plan a quick get-together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 How could you guys come to Orlando and not plan a quick get-together? I thought about it, but I was only there for a weekend with the wife, brother-in-law and his wife, our schedule was pretty tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest norm[T12SDSUD] Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 How could you guys come to Orlando and not plan a quick get-together? Hey Scottie, I'm sorry but we tried to reach you the night I was at Ken's house with Rick Bowers. I had my kid with me the couple days in Orlando and they were spent at Universal and then on the way back to Clearwater we stopped by Old Town. Hopefully I can come back down again and see Ken in the early Fall and we can all get together at Bithlo on Wednesday night!!

clarkspeed Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 I've ridden the Top Fuel ride twice now. It is a blast, very realistic. My wife loves it more that I do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goldraven Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 hehe, i like the warning on their website saying that it could be faster, however if it were any faster they would have to deal with eye damage. since the slowing down part is so fast. now that is my kind of ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
