New VertiGo Experience?

I was thinking, about cool new option to add. I love VertiGo! I want a combination off Cosmic Flip, Big Bang, and Big Bang Plus. My favorite ride has to have me coming down at 150 degrees. So, that gives me Cosmic Flip and Big Bang. I love going up at 150 degrees too. But, I love the airtime on Big Bang Plus! So, it would be cool to have, after you take off you flip forward 150 degrees. At the top flip up again to get the airtime and the great view! Then going down, flip forward again! They could call it, Absolutely Insane!
That's just a cool idea I thought up.

That would be very cool. I've only done Big Bang so far, and I loved it.

Big Band Plus? Does that include the tuba?

Just kidding.

Are you sure you just thought that up, or did you read one of Red Garter Rob's TR's? He mentioned something exactly the same as that, name and all.

What a "coincidence."

I went back and looked and he said on his Thank you page...

"We rotate who rides with who.. what rides we take.. and even get to try out the 4th option called "Absolutely Insane" which involves you nose-diving upon takeoff then being flipped upright at the apex, a feeling that makes you think you're being thrown OUT of the seat and into Soak City or Magnum depending on which side of the vehicle you're on."

I give him credit for the name because I like it and it fits in with my description. He describes Big Bang Plus. I don't recall any one talking about this experience I thought of. If you do give me the link.

It's the name that Stan assigned to it.. It's also the name of the ride when it was in development. If you look at tower #1 (the one nearest the go-kart track that you can get to) there is a plaque with the ride name and patent info on it. It's read "Absolutly Insane".

Although, on the control screen.. Stan had the display name changed.. ;)

Yeah, I know what Stan changed Big Bang Plus to on the screen. He has a real good sense of humor!;)

Do you think that they can't do that because it can only pivot twice during any given launch? I really like all the options except Hot Rocket, which seemed kinda boring, although I didn't even try it, i bet that options only good thing would be bigtime air at the top, but you get that with Big Bang Plus anyways....Hey Rob, I think you rode it with my friend on Friday, she looks like Helen Hunt, do you remember? There were five of us......

Yep... I remember her...

For those of you that have ridden both, which do you think is better, Big Bang or Big Bang Plus? This is coming from a person that, if I get a chance to ride it, it will be once, and I want the best experience possible.

Big Bang.. hands down.. a feeling like no other... litterally..

Thanks. I hope to make it there for my first HalloWeekends...hopefully. VertiGo would make it all the more sweet.

I agree about the oversized harness, the big white velcro thing had me scared, and loving every minute of it. I'm kind of partial to the Cosmic Flip, though, but don't get me wrong, the Big Bang rocked the house as well....I thought that was you Rob, since you never left Vertigo that day....or at least you were there everytime i dragged my friends there during that day....

Never left... left on Thurs for about 45 mins to get something to eat.. other than that.. I was there..
