Yes, that is most definitely a frisbee. ;)

That ride doesn't even look fun!

LOL! I thought it might be a frisbee but I was wrong.

The gondolas swing back and forth via hydraulic pistons during the ride... it's pretty disorienting actually!

I actually have a movie of it running, even though it is very low quality. Just scroll down the screen a bit here:

The ride really isn't that fun to me. It gets a bit boring, but hey, it's a well needed flat ride to be added back to GL's flat ride arsenal.

The ride might not be an adult favorite, but it is popular with families and children, and yes adds a falt ride to the park that needs some very badly.

If you have ever been to Kennywood....

The ride action is pretty much the same as the thing Kennywood has on top of the Island Stage.

(in fact, the Bee Bee is the "ASR" version of the same ride...no, I don't remember what ASR stands for, it was some Huss design and marketing gimmick a few years ago)

Looks terrifying.
