*Relocated from Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom where it was know as Road Runner Express
This sprawling megacoaster with over a mile of track is truly an exhilarating adventure. From the 210 foot lift and its breathtaking 227 foot first drop (into a tunnel) you are off and running. That is just the beginning, the long drawn out hills provide huge air time. The top-hat style turn around and spaghetti bowl elements all contribute to the overall experience. Although the synchronized sound is good, some believe that it actually detracts from the overall experience, as the needed headrest extensions for sound do limit visibility from all but the first seat.
