Dust off your cowboy boots, grab a turkey leg, and travel back over two decades to ride the biggest, wildest beast in Texas carnival history! This is a full, uncut front-seat ride-through of the legendary "Hi-Miler" roller coaster at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in Houston, Texas, beautifully preserved from a thrilling Saturday night on March 13, 2004.
Serving for years as the towering centerpiece of the Ray Cammack Shows (RCS) midway right outside NRG Stadium, the Hi-Miler was a massive, custom-designed traveling steel coaster engineered with classic Schwarzkopf-style intensity. This vintage 2004 archive captures the coaster in peak operating condition, sending you plunging down ferocious drops, tearing through heavily banked turns, and flying over airtime hills while the blinding neon lights of the Houston rodeo blur into a spectacular kaleidoscope below. It is an invaluable, nostalgic time capsule of a retired Texas midway icon.
If you remember conquering this massive mountain of steel every spring, miss the classic early-2000s look of traveling midways, or just love tracking down rare, defunct roller coaster history, hit that Subscribe button and turn on notifications for more vintage attraction archives and travel reviews! 🤠🎡🎢
