Stand up coaster. Tons of fun. First drop is around 170' i think. Goes upside down 4 times, 4 different ways.

Kinda hurts the shoulders after a couple times tho :D

OH MAN!! That looks crazy. The names of the rollercoasters that you listed were all mentioned on this like world's best rollercoaster special program on either TLC/Discovery Channel -can't remember which one. Man... all those coasters look wicked, except for Power Tower, Wicked Twister.

:rofl: They set all 71 or so of the stampede rides up in a matter of 3 days...I dont know if I'd trust those kinds of roller coasters to be put up in that little amount of time and still be safe :D Calaway park needs some new stuff though.
