I prefer Mind Eraser to its twin that is five hours to the west on I-90. The ride, though the same, was remarkably better. While in line, the darned thing broke down a couple of times, so we almost were compelled to skip the ride. It turned out ok and we rode in the middle of the train, which automatically reduces the headbanging. The ride was actuall fairly fun. The first two inversions are always wildly disorienting because of the unique nature of the design, and then the third one (which is sort of like an Immelman) was pretty neat as well. That third inversion also came close to giving me a case of cardiac arrest with the awesome footchopper, something I dont remember being so good at Darien Lake. The same goes for some awesome footchoppers in the double inline twist, and overall it was a decent ride. While not among the best of the Inverts, even it can be fun. As I noted after getting off, my head was shaking but not banging because of the pillow-esque pads that surrounded my head, so that probably helped and I also cant specifically recall if the other SLC that I rode had them. Overall, a better than expected ride for me, a ride that we almost ended up missing.
