Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

What were you expecting? It is in a scrapyard.

It is hard to watch, but remember, this was a vekoma that had not opened in a while.

Well, considering how painful I'm sure the ride was in the first place, this is most likely an example of the scales of justice evening things out. As the saying goes, do unto others as they do unto you...

That ride was rather smooth actually. Though all the Vekoma Corkscrews are uncharacteristally smooth. It was obvious that they opened it up just cause ACE was in the park though, with weeds growing up through the track in many places and it was really dirty in general.

Also Shockwaqve was cut up in exactly the same way.
