Obviously, everyone is correct. Like I said, that was way too easy for this group. :) I always thought Z-Force was a great ride. If nothing else, it was very unique at the time. I had the opportunity to ride it again much later in its life at Magic Mountain in 1996 and it was a total disaster. The t...

Power Dive was such a...
