Bound for Earth

Darien Lake Theme Park in New York

The coaster uses a traditional lift hill. The train click-clack-clicks up, up, and WAY up, until it seems it should be approaching the planet Krypton. Then eeeeyah!, there's a delirious high-speed 205-foot first drop followed by a wonderful burst of airtime (that free-floating, butterflies-in-your-stomach sensation) and an equally exquisite second drop.
