| - Fast. Holy Hell fast.
As part of "So Long To the Sahara", The Gang(TM) and I got the rollercoaster combo pass. For an older ride, that thing takes off like a shot, surprising me so into saying one of my preferred expletives I use for these types of situations.
Since the Sahara is pretty much "done" within a month from now, they were doing a deal: $15 for unlimited rides for this and Cyber Speedway. Speed is a fast ride that doesn't beat you around, even with the sharp turns, the loop, or the launching straight up... before it sends you through all of that again, but backwards.
I had a good time, and rode it twice. I would have done more, but I was feeling a little off after the second ride, and once we ate dinner... not in my best interests, as I didn't want to "decorate" the ride. The ride seems actually well maintained, though I can't understand why they would need 15 minutes between each ride when the area was as quiet as it was.
This is one of those "Better later than never" discoveries. I've visited the Sahara on and off throughout the decade, but never tried their rollercoaster. Now that I have, it was worth it.
Catch it before it's gone.
