My mom said this was so scary. She never went on a coaster like it again. I on the other hand love every one.

They need to bring the waterfall back

I miss this ride

This video is almost black-and-white.

I remember when it was relatively new and they ran 2 trains at the same time at right angles to each other and they entered the loops at the same time.

I recall being so afraid when I went on this first time at about 9 years old! I got glued to the back of the seat in an awkward position and was glued there from g-forces! LOL

I remember riding the Lighting ➿ loop many many years ago 😂😂😂 it was scary but fun.

I rode the lower half at Frontier City last weekend. To say it was amazing is putting it lightly...

As a kid my grandfather took me to Great Adventure every summer drone the late 80’s to early 90’s. I would always see this but was too little to get on it until the summer of 91. Sadly I didn’t take advantage of my opportunity to ride it that year and by the following year it was gone.

This is definitely Great Adventure. Those are the Parachutes and the Scream Machine in the background. If you were a ride operator in this section, you would be cross trained to work as an operator for the Joust A Bout, the Parachutes and the Scream Machine. Working Parachutes was the worst bc you were in the direct sun and you had to secure each set of riders in place each time they went up and also operate the control. Joust about was cool bc it was in the shade. And Scream machine was the premium spot to be assigned. You had to be 18 to operate it, but us kids who were assigned to scream machine had to run down the line and check the restraints before the rollercoaster would be sent off. Good times.

Thanks for posting this. I used to be a rider operator for this ride in the mid 90’s. Good times.

When did it stop dueling?

I rode that a few times. I wss scared to death the first time but it seems pretty lame compared with today's coasters

YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTTEN!! :):)

this ride is at frontier city in okc

It should stayed as black

I came to hear the sound. Great memory.

My first upside down coaster!

in the uk we still have this ride but its called icon or revolution its not dangerous at all but i mean a girl dies on it in america whereas here weve never had any accidents on the ride and plus there were alot of hurricanes ther but no ther

I remember riding this as a kid. It did the loop forward and then did it again in reverse.

It only does that one loop and that’s it? Really boring, I kno it’s a childhood memory, but it had to go down, it doesn’t compare to what’s there today...

My dad took me on this in 1979. I was 3.

Is that all it was? One loop?

Don’t fight it ride it

where in the park was lightning loops?

I rode this once sometime in the mid 80s. That was enough.

great video the force you felt on that hill after the launch was the most ejector I had ever felt on a coaster then you did it backwards

The lower loop is still in operation

Good coaster!!
