I hate this ride, and cant believe that Kennywood brought it back. (Kennywood had removed this ride for quite awhile.) This ride entered Kennywood, and other parks under different names, in the 70s. Park owners keep slowing this ride down as people were falling out of it, and getting killed! To my knowledge, no one fell out and got killed at Kennywood - not even me, but I felt like I was going to - and at the time, I hadnt heard that people were getting killed on this, or I wouldnt have gone on it. What the problem with this ride was: It didnt need slowed down. What it needed, and may still need, was better rider restraints. If theyve gotten those, then it should be fine now. However, I felt like I was holding on for dear life when I rode this.
