I generally don’t have an issue with doing facially dangerous shite in a controlled environment, but that tilt handoff mechanism seems like a lot of mechanical complexity for no reason, and that’s something I don’t like.

That looks awesome. I rode one called Sheikra at Busch Gardens that paused at the top of the first hill and held you in suspension for a couple of seconds looking down, and it was a lot of fun. I'm just getting too old for amusement parks and roller coasters, or groups of people, or leaving my house.

Going to an amusement park and taking a ride on the kiddie roller coaster is a fun experience whether you’re a child or an adult. Every year, 300 million people ride roller coasters. It’s a common experience.
However, the loop-de-loops and upside-down roller coasters may give you pause. You may feel scared. You may feel like vomiting. You may even worry about a possible brain injury.
You may have seen articles and statistics linking brain injuries to roller coasters. While there have been rare cases of injuries, there is no conclusive evidence that going on a roller coaster of any type will cause you to suffer a brain injury.
To prove this, Stanford researchers outfitted two men with mouth guards equipped to measure head movement. The men engaged in several activities. They took three roller coaster rides at an amusement park, seated side-by-side, to reduce potential variation in the data. For comparison, one man also completed 14 soccer headers, while both men went for a three-minute jog while wearing the mouth guards.
The researchers used mathematical models to see if the movements they measured during these activities could cause brain problems. In general, roller coaster rides were less likely to cause harm than soccer headers. However, riding a roller coaster did exert more force on the brain than jogging.
The researchers did see a large degree of variation between the two men, so it can be assumed that the dangers of roller coasters may not be the same for everyone. One person may not be affected by roller coasters at all, while someone else may suffer long-term brain damage from riding one.
What About Headaches?
While a ride on a roller coaster may not cause a traumatic brain injury, it could cause a major headache. Again, this will depend on the person, but some roller coasters are more likely than others to put the body under high levels of stress and strain. The jerky movements can greatly impact the head and brain, which can result in headaches and migraines.
These headaches may be short-lived, going away after taking some painkillers and getting some rest. However, in some people, the damage is more long-term. A headache could be a sign of a concussion or head trauma. Concussions are especially common among adolescents.
Dizziness and motion sickness are also common after riding a roller coaster. Motion sickness occurs when the brain receives conflicting signals from spatial orientation senses. The main symptoms include:
Cold sweats
Nausea
Vomiting
Paleness in the face

I have a pass at cedar point. Live 50 min away. It’s not that intimidating up close. It’s not very tall and the track isn’t very long. They kinda crammed it in a corner. They were test running it the times I’ve been there. Opening up today for riders I believe

My kids and I went in '19. Rode the one this replaced. I still can't believe I rode it. Twice. Insane acceleration.

I remember going when the Magnum XL 200 first opened, and then a few years later when Millenium Force opened. My favorite coaster there is the Raptor. Haven't been there in 25 years though.

Yeah, the power went out there yesterday

Went to Cedar Point a few weeks ago. Was great. Top Thrill 2 is a must. Gave me a headache for a few minutes but definitely worth it.

Just rode this recently and got on the first row. It’s pretty crazy, those few seconds feel like an eternity.
