As if I needed another reason to hate the ride “Invertigo” at Six Flags Great America. Last time I went, it was with Joe and EJ when we went for “Gay Day” and even while intoxicated, it was scary as hell. I can’t stand that “hang.”
The funniest bit are the sound bites that were included in the story posted on MSNBC (…seriously, though, would you laugh this off?):
“They’re being fed and drinks are available to them,” Kouns said. “They’re being accommodated quite nicely by the Great America staff here.” “There are people out there laughing, carrying on and talking about their experiences,” he said as the rescue was taking place. Many of those stuck on the ride could be seen swinging their legs back and forth as they waited to be rescued. The Invertigo consists of a seven-car train that takes riders upside-down six times, to heights of up to 161 feet, in one minute and 10 seconds, according to Great America’s Web site.
