Scandia Screamer, Scandia Amusement Park
Only the truly masochistic will want to ride this John Miler coaster more than once or twice. The structure of the ride has an imposing presence, and just looking at it, you knew it was going to hurt. The warning of "KEEP ARMS IN CAR, YOU WILL LOSE THEM" in the station is also a bit unsettling. Never the less,we invite you to come ride the Scandia Screamer with us. You'll notice the nervous sounds in our voice as we crest the lift hill, and the screams of pain as we subject ourselves to quite literally "The Most Sadistic Coaster On The Planet"(tm Mike Robinson). Additional fun fact: thus far this is the only coaster to make a digital video camcorder actually SKIP while recording during the course of the ride. This video brought to you between a co-operation of CoasterPhotos.Com and SixFlagsHouston.Com. Added 09/27/02.
