Marley can stay on the ground and get the beers in for when we get off.  :thumbsup:

To make you feel even better Apey, if Zumanjaro is on the list then Kingda Ka has to be as well seeing as Zumanjaro is built on to the side of the arch.   eveilgrin:

When the train is in position, the hydraulic launch mechanism accelerates the train from 0 to 128 miles per hour (0 to 206 km/h) in 3.5 seconds.[2] At the end of the launch track, the train climbs the main tower (or top hat) and rolls 90 degrees to the right before reaching a height of 456 feet (139 m).[3] The train then descends 418 feet (127 m) straight down through a 270-degree right-hand spiral. The train climbs the second hill of 129 feet (39 m), producing a moment of weightlessness before being smoothly brought to a stop by the magnetic brakes; it then makes a left-hand U-turn and enters the station. The ride lasts 28 seconds from the start of the launch

You wouldn't get Marley within 2 miles of those things - beers notwithstanding!

Work of the devil I tells ye . . .

Well, someone had to say it!
