Title: Wild Adventures new ride: The Rattler
Post by: sdcforever on April 21, 2008, 12:09:17 PM

I don't know if anyone has posted this or not, but HFE opened a new frisbee ride at Wild Adventures, The Rattler.  It looks pretty cool.  It's a spinning swing ride that almost flips you upside down and is designed to give riders the free fall feeling of a roller coaster's first hill over and over again.  I have a feeling HFE got the idea to install this type of ride at Wild Adventures from SDC's Giant Swing.  Has anyone ridden The Rattler?  If so, what do you think?  Here's a pic of it (click on it to enlarge):

Yeah, most of us thought this might come to SDC, though the size of it kept me in disbelief. I'm glad WA has it though, it really fits them well.

I'm sure it won't be too long now until the old Pendulum Swing concept is resurrected and we get a full-size Huss model for ourselves.
