The Mind Eraser is a steel inverted roller coaster at 4 different Six Flags & PARC theme parks. Built by Vekoma, they are of the most common and standard Suspended Looping Coaster model (689m Standard) that is found in many theme parks; at least fifteen other parks around the world have this exact same ride under other names [1]. The highlight of the track is a sidewinder inversion immediately following the drop. Riders should be advised to keep their head against the padded facerest because all of these rides tend to get rough and bumpy as the ride progresses.
