Rickety Scream Machine

It's old... It creaks... It has a visible shake when the cars pass over the rails at warp speed.

It's also buttressed by cables clamped onto stell poles at several turns. It's a specific kind of white knuckle thrill with a violent series of aggressive jolts. Dorney Park, PA. Late August 2007.

Slick Scream Machine

The Talon... which is absolutely AMAZING, both from beneath and when strapped into one of the floorless seats. Dorney Park, PA. Late August 2007.
