The run through these sweeping curves is very pleasant; if you are looking for black-out G-forces, you will be disappointed.
Still, they are a nice contrast to the trip home, which is a solid progression of Morgan-style bunny hops.
Do I sound less enthusiastic than you might expect? I don't wish to undersell Steel Dragon 2000; it's really great, I swear.
The problem is, the next coaster I rode made me forget all about Steel Dragon 2000. That next coaster was the Ultra-Twister.
Look at this train. It says, "I'm bad for you. I'm dangerous. You might as well be climbing into a garbage disposal. You're dog meat, pal."
The whole of Ultra-Twister is actually one big visual statement urging you to go do something else. The main vertical tower, the track, the supports, the dead-end rear tower, it looks more like a fracking rig than an amusement ride, even when you tart it up in pretty colors (nice try, Spaland).
And we should know better anyway. WE know that Togo created the Ultra-Twister. "Yes, I would very much like a hard kick in the groin. Where do I get in line?"
Seriously, why am I doing this? Stupid, stupid, stupid....
Hey, that first drop, intense, but in the same voting district as "fun!"
So far, so good! Still breathing, no visible scars or bruises... yet!
