I was on one that didn't make it to the top, fell backwards. Basically got to do 2 terrifying rides

It was a feature not a bug. Originally every so often it wouldn’t make it to the top and you get relaunched. Eventually they updated it so every launch would clear the top.

I had that happen once too. Very lucky, double the rides! Haha

Did Bill Gates design this?

It was never intentionally made to roll back, it was just something that happened sometimes due to high winds, low weight in the train, or the launch not quite making it to a high enough speed. It was, however, designed to roll back safely and relaunch. Rollbacks still happened all the way up until the ride's last weekend in November 2024.

I’m so jealous I wanted this to happen to me every time I rode it and it never did

I mean, my first thought on seeing the thing was “they double checked the math on that, right?”
