August 8, 200917 yr I just rode Invertigo for the first time today and I have a couple of questions: 1. Do you think is a very unappreciated ride? I rode it and I loved it. Intense, disorenting, and plain fun. It seems like no one rides it. Very short lines. 2. In the line, it took 5 minutes for each train to fill up and run. And one time while we were waiting the restraints came up. Does this happen all the time? This is actually one of the dizziest rides in the park in my opinion and one of my favorites now. Top 3.
August 8, 200917 yr 1: I think it is unnappreciated because of its low capacity and long waiting times on days with lots of people.
August 8, 200917 yr Author 1: I think it is unnappreciated because of its low capacity and long waiting times on days with lots of people. I agree totally. It has short lines usually but because of it being a shuttle coaster it takes forever to load up people.
August 8, 200917 yr i love the ride, but if line surpasses the air tunnel {under the loop}, i try to find something closer with a shorter line.
August 8, 200917 yr in fact i like it so much that i put this picture on my credit card and yes i did take that picture. you just have to stand behind one of the trashcans.
August 8, 200917 yr Author in fact i like it so much that i put this picture on my credit card and yes i did take that picture. you just have to stand behind one of the trashcans. No seriously, is that on your credit card?
August 8, 200917 yr Author yes it is, thank you capital one. Are those the awesome commercials where they some them personalizing their credit cards....I want one
August 8, 200917 yr i was with them before they started personalizing theme. when i got my camera at beginin of the season i decided to just take pictures. i saw that one and said it is the one. as far as the card themselves, just watch what you do. those bills can add up quick if your not paying attention. whats in your wallet?
August 8, 200917 yr I always used to love Invertigo, until last season I just didn't care for it anymore. This season I've only ridden it twice cause I only ride it if it's to the ramp before the station. I do think it's under rated, I'd like to have ERT on it sometime.
August 8, 200917 yr Author It's just so low capacity it's kind of annoying. Even if a line is up to the tunnel beneath the loop (which isn't long) it takes at least a half hour. It takes forever to transition also.
August 9, 200917 yr one time when i was on it, some lady yelled Stop the ride! Stop the Ride! And they stop the ride. Turns out she was just playing. lol
August 9, 200917 yr I think Invertigo is fun, but I've probably only ridden it three times this season. I just can't see waiting that long when I could wait less time for DB or FoF, both of which I enjoy more.
August 9, 200917 yr whats in your wallet? apperently Invertigo is in their wallet ha ha, lol, i have the magical ability to shrink things and stuff them in my wallet. i so needed that laugh. thank you.
August 9, 200917 yr I like Invertigo, but I think it always has a long line (at least when I'm there) and its also just not on the ride list of rides I have to ride. But if the lines short, I will ride it.
August 9, 200917 yr I love it! It's my third favorite ride there. 2nd being The Beast and 1st being Diamondback. It may be short but it packs quite a punch. Two things usually happen to me while I'm riding it. One is; after riding my legs feel very sitff and tight. That's the only way I can describe it. The other thing that happens to me is during the boomerang everything just seems like a blur around me. Does anyone know why these things happen?

Looks to see....a Six Flags Mastercard from Chase. Imagine that... Terpy, who often gets odd looks when using said card at Cedar Fair establishments...
August 9, 200917 yr Author You see a blur obviously because of the Gs. And it's so fast! It's just the design of the ride, the small, short, and very tight but fast ride that whips around the curves. That's what gives you so much Gs, and it makes you so disoriented. That's what I love about it! I don't know a lot about physics on coasters, but I think I'm close to right.
August 10, 200917 yr Invertigo, or as I still call it, Face/Off, is a pretty fun coaster. I only will ride it thought in the morning or late at night when their is no line because otherwise it just takes forever. This was one of my first boomerangs and inverted coasters and it's force full loop and cobra roll make it great. Plus you get to watch the expressions of people across from you.
August 10, 200917 yr I usually black out while riding...Very underrated ride IMO. I will not wait forever to ride it though
August 10, 200917 yr Author It just whips you around the cobra roll and loop and it like kills your head. But it's pretty cool.
August 11, 200917 yr Today was not the best day to be riding the one at California's Great America. http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_13031694
August 11, 200917 yr Today was not the best day to be riding the one at California's Great America. http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_13031694 Yes it is a slow news day. This has made the national news CNN etc.
August 11, 200917 yr Aw man. That is one ride on my list I don't want to get stuck on. Right next to Drop Tower.
August 11, 200917 yr Author Did Kings Island have to shut down Invertigo also? They did that when a Drop Tower ride killed someone.
August 11, 200917 yr Did Kings Island have to shut down Invertigo also? They did that when a Drop Tower ride killed someone. If your talking about the incident with Superman at some Six Flags park, No. They did not close Invertigo due to that, they did close down Drop Tower though. Even though Drop Tower had its cables on the inside, and Superman had it on the outside they closed it for inspection. I don't like it so I think they should tear it down. (sound familiar?) Why? Nothing major has gone wrong with Invertigo that I know of. Totally different than SOB.
August 11, 200917 yr Did Kings Island have to shut down Invertigo also? They did that when a Drop Tower ride killed someone. No they don't have to shut it down . It was a "mechanical delay," and no one was injured.
