It's a Vekoma Boosterbike Coaster, there's only 4 in the world,
The one pictured is the original one built in 2004 at Toverland in the Netherlands http://rcdb.com/2747.htm
There is also Velocity, in Flamingo Land, Yorkshire, England, which was built in 2005 http://rcdb.com/2949.htm
And two in China, one built in 2006 http://rcdb.com/3418.htm and another built in 2011 http://rcdb.com/3418.htm |

"Just buy a bike."
That's like saying "just buy a car." A car on the highway goes the same speed as a roller coaster, doesn't mean it's anything at all the same. |

They have one like that at Knotts in CA. It's actually pretty lame and the seats are uncomfortable if you don't position yourself rights. They crush your nuts and it's hard to breath. |

whats the point..? unless it goes like 200mph, its be cheaper and more thrilling to just take a ride on a real bike.. |

"6 flags Dairen lake in western New York"
I don't think it's the same ride as the one in Darien Lake. That one is similar, but the scenery doesn't look the same. Also, it's no longer a 6 flags park. It's just Darien lake now. |

I hate rides where the only thing holding you to the seat is a clamp down "bar" and gravity. & those don't even look like they're helping all that much! |

There is one similar to this at Knotts Berry Farm, it's called the Pony Express. Same concept, except the motorcycles are horses. It's fast and a lot of fun. |

I only ride roller coasters that allow me to kick peoples heads off when they jump 5 fences to pick up the hat they dropped. |

@champ: I think you mean Universal Studios. Disney World has nothing like this (I have an annual pass and go there at least once a month). |
