Anyone ever ride one anywhere? If so, which? And do you count it in your track record? I’ve never had the opportunity yet, but I’ve seen some photos and videos of some I think I’d feel okay trying.

I rode the two at John Ivers' home. I enjoyed them both, though the looper was a little hard on the neck!

I wonder if I will get a chance to try that one (the Blue Flash) some time.
Rumor has it that it has been moved to and set up at a semi-public facility
in Pataskala, not far from me, and the owner would like to figure out a way
to let the public ride it. I question whether there is any way at all that
the Department of Agriculture would ever sign off on it, though.

It's well beyond a rumour - there's video of them set up and operating in the new location.



As for letting the public ride, maybe the Glenwood Caverns approach of requiring a signed waiver to visit might be the way to go?
