Bell's Amusement Park in Tulsa OK just added a ride exactly like this one. Same model and everything. It opened for the Tulsa State Fair in September. They named it the Mind Melt and it is the first new ride since 97! I was extatic!! Then to top it all off, I got to be in the commercial for it!!! I got to ride it 13 times in a row, and baby it's sweet!!!!!! AWESOME drop! It feels much higher than it looks!

^Congratulations on your commerial and excitement and everything else that I did't mention.

When does Morey's Piers open? That looks pretty cool, I wanna try it out. Let's hope that it can top Drop Zone at PKD (Not literally, of course )

Ummm...are you sure it was Morey's? The GNE, to my knowledge, has NEVER valleyed, and the White just opened this weekend.

Well I saw a Vekoma SLC valleyed in a spot an a wooden roller coaster. But you know, come to think of it, it was a Mind Eraser, because the supports were blue. Hmm, was there a power outage at SFNE or another park with a Mind Eraser?

Just got back from my moreys piers trip, jeez they changed so much, sea serpent looked to be painted, doo whoper was moved and re paint, flitzer was moved, got new trains and painted black and was still under construction. I saw the first test run for there new screamin swing and got it on video, looks awsome! Atmosfear was the highlight of the trip, led lights going the whole way up the tower and the smoke and thunder effects were awsome. They also had a story line going up with speakers above your head going up about how this mad scientist creation goes wrong. Very intense drop Il give it a 9/10 in the flat ride rating.

Yes I do have pictures of the tower. I will post them up as soon as I get a chance. The thing looks kind of little from staring at it on the ground and while rideing it looked seriously around 250 ft high because the way it makes you look down over the ocean..man great ride.
