They look an awful lot like rocket coasters. [:D]

I thought for sure that the one on Stealth was going to be a full blown stall...

[jayman]

no WAY!!!!.. now i REALLLY want to wait in line to go up a big hill and down again!!!!
o.k. ok. there's some turns afterwards sometimes..
[sillyme]

ka BARELY ever rolls back, i been on it 50-60+ times and STILL havent gotten a rollback[}:)]

I am a rocket coaster fan and I had no need or desire to watch this. Big deal; a rollback. Wooh.

I've never been on one are they fun?

I wonder if there's some poor person who's freaking the chuff out during the rollback.

i have experienced a rollback on top thrill, it was acctually pretty fun cuz they let you go again after it rolls back, but the rush of a 400' 90 degree drop backwards is pretty fun.

What's really funny is when someone doesn't know that it is a common thing, and starts panicking like "Oh my god! they're going to die! Oh my god!" and covers their eyes. That makes me laugh every time.

The people sitting on the waiting track on Stealth were probably saying a few prayers as the rollback train came barreling at them with no signs of slowing down until the last second...

^I would've been afraid at that moment. Whether or not I know the train will brake on a rollback, sitting front seat in the preceding train, waiting for the train to come to the beginning of the launch run, that's scary!

ummm, yeeeeaaaahhhh... cooool....

I want a rollback [:(]

I wonder if Storm Runner has ever rolled back..

It has during testing at least. I'm pretty sure that when they first test the rockets they launch them in increasing increments of about 3mph until they get to the desired speed.

Does anybody know where that one rollback is with Monty Jasper and the news lady who freaked out?

I'm not sure apart from tests like Xcelerator.
I can remember a stronger power on both top-hats and they even have a "different" heigth,even if Kanonen is the smallest among the others.

A big gold medal to Stealth's roll back....amazing!

I agree with GerstlCrazy, I also thought it was going to be a dead stop.

if u listen carefully on kingda ka theres some women screaming THEIR GONNA DIE! OMG THEIR GONNA DIE!!! hilarious, also everyone laughs when stealth looks like it stopped lol
