| | | Hi everybody, now the screaming squirrel has a name, it's called SEQUOIA ADVENTURE! A SEQUOIA is a very old big tree like the one you can see in some parks in noth America!
I know that cause i'm Italian and SEQOUIA is an italian word! |

| | | Looks awesome! Oh how I hope the states get one soon.
I tried building a SS in NLs and it didn't go over so well haha.

| | if http://www.rcdb.com/ig470.htm?picture=5 is an inversion or any other inclined loop is, screaming squirrel definitely should have inversions, and an overbanked turn should be too.....

| | | I full heartedly agree that the SS should be considered an inverting coaster. You're frickin' UP-SIDE DOWN! Its an inversion! |

| | | People say that it isn't upside down because it goes upside down, but comes back out in the same way, and doesn't complet 360*.
Fine, I'd agree with that under the same logic that top hats like on the chiller and freezes aren't upsidedown either, nor is a cutback like on DF or Space Mountain Paris, because they dont' complete 360* either. |

| | | I still hope that future SS models will feature turns like mid layout. Can you imagine having 180 degree hairpin turns while upside down!!! They could do so much with this concept. I hope that it catches on.

| | | is it just me or does this ride look like complete pants?!?! It doesnt do anything....it just goes up, turns you upsidedown a couple of times and its over. I can only imagine it being a very uncomfortable ride just think of the rush to the head you'd get going over the edge.... I hope that no parks in the UK waste their money on one and get a better ride instead

| | | Yes, its...pants. I guess. I do wish that it were longer and higher with more inverted sections, but I'm sure that the feeling of flipping over and under the track will be a unique moment in roller coaster history. And I don't think you'll be upside down for as long as you think. You will be moving at a half-way high rate of speed. Besides that, even if it did hold you upside down forever, that doeasn't mean it will be uncomfortable. Look at the Top Spins and other flat rides that hold you upside down for extended periods of time, people enjoy those pretty well. |
