Yes, actually last time I rode it I decided I wouldn't ride it again. It beat me up, I also felt a little woozy later on in the day because it hurt my head so much!

While going on the first run through (Up the hill and through the station) I put my head down for some reason and when it went back down the hill, for SOME reason I couldn't raise my head back up till about midway through the loop...

I guess the forces were so strong that I couldn't raise my head up...

That happened to me after it released on the second hill. My head was thrust down on the loop and through the cobra roll. It was painful, but I learned how to brace myself and to never look down. The bracing is true on rides like Vortex and The Beast.

The ride by design is going to jerk you sideways and back and forth in the twists and loops with the sudden G forces. If you have any spine problems, heed the warnings and DO NOT ride. You have to brace yourself and keep your neck from jerking by using your neck muscles. I have screws and rods in my cervical spine so I know not to ride those extreme rides.

As having two spinal surgeries , I take the warnings posted on roller coasters very seriously. Just by watching the ride and observing the forces placed on riders is enough for me not to ride.

Indeed. As it should be. I'm just saying the days when a park could depend on its guests to ride defensively, or even not to stand up or to get out, and to stay out of lock-out areas, are long gone. At least in the USA. I can only imagine if Harry Traver's coasters operated today....

My head hurt really bad after riding it last year. It felt almost like when you stand up to fast and you get a headrush but it stayed for several minutes. I also had trouble keeping my head up. Haven't ridden it since.

Invertigo has always been uncomfortable to me. It doesn't hurt, just incomfortable. It really bothers my ears and sides of my head because of the OTSR. It's just too tight. Thats why I pnly ride Invertigo 2-3 times a season.

Nytro, how tall are you?

I have only ridden once, and this is a fun ride, but you really have to know how to hold your head & how to sit in the seat before locking in, what I did was scooted all the way back in the seat, and kind of lifted my self up & then locked my self in with the restraints so I had a little left over room to control myself, I know it sounds bizarre but it works for me oddly, but try to keep your head back as much as possible.
