Great American Scream Machine

A lot of Arrow Dynamics coasters feature back-to-back corkscrews, but it was uncommon to see a ride with two vertical loops in a row like this one.

Great American Scream Machine featured a 155-foot drop, seven inversions, and 3,800 feet of track.  After the ride's first year, the original track at the top of the vertical loops was replaced with modified track having extra cross-brace supports between the rails in order to increase the structure's rigidity.
