Buy your very own Intamin LSM launching coaster for the low, low price of $125,000 USD!

This just has to be a mistake.

It's for the near exact price of their 1st gen freefall. They probably mixed the two rides up in the ad...

Hmm, do you think Bloomberg will let me build this in my backyard?

Maybe it is a mistake but i honestly think that the fact its old technology and also that its a pain to maintain is what is giving a bargain tag on this ride

There's bargain...then there's that price.

It would cost more to just take it apart.

I agree, this is most likely a typo.....otherwise, I'd seriously consider coming up with the money, well, if I lived in the middle of nowhere lol.

The price is the exact same amount all of the Free Falls were going for and Intamin manufactured both of them.

I wonder if we could sue them after buying it and get superman instead lol

Is it a typo, or a picture error?   I wouldn't be surprised with either one.

I'd say its a typo over picture error.  They did get all of the specs right.

As many problems as they have had with that thing, I would not bet the farm the price is incorrect.

I'd bet the LSM's alone - used even, are worth more than $125.  So its either a typo on the price, which is possible since the Free Falls were all going for this much, or they used the wrong picture and specs.

This ride is loud, boring, an eyesore and has the most pathetic capacity ever. They almost never race both sides, the car rarely makes it to the breaks on the tower and the technology is a joke compared to Hydraulic Launch coasters. Let go of the most coasters in one park record MM and scrap this god awful coaster!

This coaster needs palm trees near by to make it look fast.

Oh, I meant reverse free fall ride.  :P

Reverse Free Fall 1 ride is really good value.

Well, on TPR they said that SFMM PR said that it is a wrong listing and only Freefall is for sale. Not S:TE...
