okay what the fuck is that. am i being pranked. like. what the fuck.

so i have not been on a vekoma flying before. i’ve been on two B&M flying coasters! they’re fantastic! super easy to ride, not weird at all, just genuinely great roller coasters, both manta and tatsu!

but this thing? this is… a unique form of torture that is somehow really, really fun. you get in and the thing tilts you on your back—like, you’re sitting up and then the thing dips backwards and you’re laying down staring at the ceiling. you go up the lift hill that way too—on your back, staring at the sky. why? who knows! it’s bizarre! the restraints are these big heavy vests and there’s just no handles or anything so you’re just sort of scrambling for literally any purchase so you have something to hold onto.

and then you descend, and you’re flipped on your belly. and like the B&Ms, the belly bits are great. like genuinely great, no complaints, love to fly and lay down and stuff. cool sensations, good forces, okay? but THEN. then they flip you over onto your back again, through a rough hairline roll, and into a fucking vertical loop. on your BACK. you go through a vertical loop laying down on your back. why? vekoma why? why did you do this? why was it fun even though it felt terrible?

and then you flip over again, and whee i’m on my belly it feels great look at the ground i’m flying NOPE HERE COMES A TERRIBLE CORKSCREW THAT RATTLES MY NECK AROUND OKAY WE’RE ON OUR BACKS AGAIN I GUESS.

and then you hit the brake run. on your back. and crawl into the station, where you tilt back up.

no wonder there’s only 3 of these. and i say all of this knowing that i’m still calling it a b tier, because for some unknown reason i actually thought that was really fun, and i’m super glad i got to go on it. sheesh. what the fuck even is that?

b tier. credit 156.
