Standard fair for alot of parks now, but Six-Flags has added the stomach churner to their Kentucky theme park.
The egg-shaped gondola holds two people, strapped tightly in their seats, until the countdown is over and the riders soar into the sky on the wings of steel cables. At the apex, they pause, seemingly weightless more than 200 feet above the ground, then plummet back to Earth, then climb back up. This whole time, the capsule flips over and over and over. It tests the stomach and rattles the heart. And its in Louisville.
