Luckily I’ve only encountered one stand up coaster. It was Riddler Revenge at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Along with roughing up my “Family jewels” it also did a number on the bottom of my feet. Almost the entire ride exerted multiple G’s of force on my feet resulting in a tingling sensation that lasted for over an hour.

I have respect for those that seek out other standup coasters, there braver than I am! Also thank you Arther Levine for your continued efforts to bring quality material to a hobby that brings me joy and happiness. Keep up the awesome work!

As an avid Super Mario Cart player in my youth, I can’t wait to see what they do! Augmented reality sounds like the perfect way to go for this kind of attraction. One thing is for sure, I will be there to check it out!

I've ridden Shockwave at Drayton Manor, UK. No problem with the standing up part, but my ears got a bashing from the head restraints. I obviously needed to be shorter or taller!

I think I have ridden two stand up coasters in my lifetime - Mantis at Cedar Point and King Cobra at Kings Island. I loved the first half of Mantis, but the second half track was so tight that my ears would get so banged up in the restraints. I don't recall having that issue with King Cobra. I also never had 'neither region' problems with either coaster.

I think the Gibson Amphitheater was in the upper lot and was replaced by the Wizarding World.
