Armageddon

Armageddon has the longest continuous drop and the highest average speed of all of the competing coasters.  Riders start out high and rapidly descend to a nauseating loop.  If you enjoy speed and a gut wrenching free-fall, this ride is for you.  Though it's not the end of the world, the designers hope you will fight your way back in line for a second 'battle'.
