Montu has all of those really cool trenches, and Thunderhead at Dollywood flies through the station.

Tremors OWNS. We need something like that here on the east US. It does no one any good where its at...

Tremors is amazing. I rode it in August last year, and those tunnels are just awesome. Between the first and last two tunnels theres an airtime hill, so after you dive into tunnel 1 and 3, you float out of your seat and are just held there as the next tunnel comes right at you... and then you enter it while still being in the air. I still think Timber Terror is a better ride though.

^ I almost rode it in August, too, but there wasn't enough time after we got off the river, and I was so damn close to that park, too.
