This was the last Togo Stand-Up coaster operating in the United States when it closed on August 9, 2015.

Kings Dominion's Shockwave roller coaster once sent riders through a 360-degree vertical loop and a 540-degree helix that angled riders virtually parallel with the ground – all while standing up!
