what would you like to know about it? I believe Intamin called them Looping Starships. it was basically a swinging ship ride that went upside down. restraints were painful as they automatically closed and tightened, but the ride itself was fun. contrary to what many GP will tell you, the ride did not stop upside down for any amount of time. the ship needed to be in motion at all times for it to complete the loop as the only source of power for the ride were the wheels at the base (once the ship left the wheels, it was under its own power and, if stopped, would be a might difficult to safely re-start).

I got stuck on Power Dive once. When the ride was over the restraints wouldn't open so we were stuck there for about 25 minutes before they fixed it. I got one of those passes where you could go to the exit of the ride and get right on the ride and I tried to use it on Raging Bull but it started raining and they shut down the park since it was near closing time anyway. It was a packed day and it would have been my first time riding the Bull

I ended up losing the pass anyways

I noticed something. King Chaos' restraints are very simillar to Power Dive's. I wonder if they came from the Dive.

No they didn't why would they do that.

That's what it looked like. This was at a different park though.

Great Adventure's looping starship? I think I rode that, I'm not sure. Was it removed, or is it still around?

Its still around. I rode it earlier this month. Thing looks like a POS though.

They used to have something similar to this in GAm a few years ago. I remember it got removed. But it was a ship that went upside down but I have forgotten the name.

And the collective knowledge of the world has gone down a step...

I hope you are joking.

Thats just a ridiculous post if 'Rapid' wasn't joking.

I think it was called Dare Devil Dive...

I hope you picked up on the sarcasm :lol:

by **CoasterDude12-2** on August 24th, 2005, 12:27 pm

Alright Rapid, It was Power Dive. Ya know, the title of this topic.

by **twixmix0303** on August 24th, 2005, 4:52 pm

I didn't even notice that :lol:

by **Rapid** on August 24th, 2005, 6:57 pm

Sorry, I'm new to the whole rollercoaster thing.

by **punkbunny24242** on August 24th, 2005, 9:28 pm

It hurt women like heck!!

by **CoasterTycoon77** on August 27th, 2005, 7:22 pm

Oh yeah...the restraints KILLED my chest...besides the fact I'm asthmatic...other than that, I thought it was great...one of my favorite rides, even after the time I slid off the seat going upside down and the lap restraint ended up a couple inches below my knee cap.

by **Andrew** on August 27th, 2005, 11:24 pm

I personally loved the ride and was very disappointed when they removed it. :cry:

Do you meen "the whole message board thing" or do you meen "the whole "rollercoaster" thing?"

I think that that area of Mardi Gras is haunted or something. First Edge, then Power Dive, and now King Chaos. What next a Huss Top Spin? :lol:
