I actually didn't think this one was so great. Shockwave just doesn't seem like an interesting ride with interesting footage. I would've like to seen a Euro-woodie like Thunder of Zues, MegaFobia, or Colossus...

I thought the video was very well done, but unfortunately, I didn't really care about Shockwave, and don't understand why it got its own video.

Honestly i thot it was really bad the first time i watched it, but i watched it a couple more times and now i love it. It is a bit short, but that is the parks fault, not gregs. I really like the video, and the corkscrews on that coaster look really funny! Good job!

It was a good video. I don't really like shockwave but I did like seeing footage of it. Did anyone notice on that coastershow on friday they said it had the largest loop on a standup. I found that to be very funny.

i added it b/c of several reasons - [list][*]Only Stand-Up with a Zero-G Roll[*]Largest Loop on Stand-Up[*]I knew it was going to be on the coaster special, so I figured it would make a good video[*]It was crucial in the development of stand-ups[*]I had good footage[*]I found a song that fit :)[/list]

How can it have the largest loop on a standup? This loop looks bigger than the entire coaster:

It is the [I]only[/I] stand-up in Europe... hence, it holds every stand-up record for Europe.
