A full train takes the 95 foot plunge on the first drop.

The train about to dive into the airtime filled finale.

The Dania Beach Hurricane opened in November of 2000.

100 feet tall, 3200 feet long and 50 miles per hour - this is the Dania Beach Hurricane.

The loading station.

Coming out of the first turnaround.

A good look at the blue train.

At the bottom of the lift hill about to catch the chain.

Thanks for visiting!

At the top of the lift.
(note the flags - you'll need this info later in the gallery)

A train leaving the station.

The ride whips through the structure towards the end.

Looking through the structure you see these flags at the top of the lift.
They're actually nautical warning flags that signal an approaching hurricane when displayed in a pair like this.
(A single flag indicates winds of 55 to 73 miles per hour.)

The entire ride as seen from the south.

Dania Beach Hurricane as seen from the west.

I'd say that's some prominent advertising - especially as this sign faces I-95.

We are here to blow you away!

This big sweeping turn produces some nice lateral forces.

Pricing as of August 2009.

The hurricane warning flags are long gone.

A mostly empty train about do take the first drop.

Fun on the Hurricane.

Compare this to some of my older photos from 2004 and you can see how these trees really grew in.

A nice wide shot of the ride.
