She definatley looked frightened. Either way, I wonder how they can get cars to safely drop at an 112 degree angle.

Too much...screamin' bloody murder until the end and then gets the giggles when she realizes that she's not going to die. Isn't human nature funny?

Tornado, it has brakes at the top of the drop to control the speed it goes down the drop.

Also I'd like to point out that this is only 1 degree steeper than the original, Steel Hawg @ Indiana Beach.

This image from http://www.rcdb.com/...8.htm?picture=1 claims to be the layout of the ride. The red rectangle is my addition and shows the very brief time that the ride descends at more than 90 degrees.
