An extreme steel roller coaster at King's Dominion. My daughter and I actually passed out for a short duration while on this ride. Lost my glasses too, but luckily they fell into our train car.

According to Wikipedia, Before the train leaves the station, a recording of Earnhardt's son, Dale Earnhardt Jr., shouting "GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES!!!" is played, followed by a loud revving sound.
Once the train is dispatched, the train ascends the 45-degree lift hill at 15 miles per hour (24 km/h) to a maximum height of 305 feet (93 m). Once the train crests the top of the lift, the train descends down the 300-foot (91 m), 85-degree drop, reaching speeds up to 90 miles per hour (140 km/h). The drop is steep enough and sudden enough that riders towards the back of the train are thrown out of their seats into the restraints, so that during the 300-foot near-vertical drop they feel as if they're about to fall out of the ride.
The train turns right into a 270-degree turn, reaching a little over 6Gs before ascending the 150-foot (46 m) airtime hill. The train then descends into a high-speed bunny hop before entering another high-speed turn. The train then maneuvers 3 sharp twists before entering the final high-speed turn. The train then climbs another airtime hill, followed by another airtime hill before entering a final twist and then climbing a small, twisty bunny hop into the magnetic brakes.
For the Fast Lane on this ride, it is only available in the Fast Lane Plus.
