Has anyone ridden Anaconda (Gio inverted)?

I was just wondering out of curiostiy if they were as smooth as their hypers.

Warning!: If I'm cranky...tell me and I'll blame it on hormones.

While I have not ridden it, I have heard several reports. (There was an excellent article with lots of color pics in the last RollerCoaster magazine.

The 2 or 3 accounts I have heard or read have said that it's as smooth as they come, and VERY B&M like. (It the best possible way) It could be mistaken for a B&M invert in looks and ride quality, except for the 2-abreast trains, supposedly.

Man, I wish I could post the awsome pictures from Rollercoaster. The helix is wrapped around a rock structure, way cool looking!

Gios first inverted, the mobile EUROSTAR is becoming VERY rough in its sixths year of operation. It uses the four abreast seating, has four inversions and a overbanked turn. It was very rideable in the first years, but the stress of dismantling and moving it every two weeks took its share on the ride. It was romoured a few weeks ago that it will be taken off the fair circuit and will be sold to La Ronde. I dont know what happened to this rumour, though.
Again, as with the Schwarzkopf coasters, this ride is credited to Intamin, but it was entirely built by Giovanola.

What is life without it's ups and downs

According to the track record, "2 people have this ride in their track record." Well we have to find those people!

My brain is ¼ coaster!

Bruce, while someone here may have ridden it, don't count it by that. Look at the page for X, a whopping 39 people have it in their track record!

Peabody-
Well considering that there are alot of roller coasters that are named Anaconda, that could be a factor
