Thanks, I knew it was something like that. It feels way faster than that. I thought it was 60 but wasent sure.

"Feeling" faster is more a byproduct of the acceleration, which is pretty awesome.
And do note that you can't go too fast through a loop, as you'd experience too much change in direction (also considered "acceleration") for your body to handle it.

It's more the G-forces that'd probably kill ya if you went too fast through the loop, or any other maneuver for that matter.

Ain't that the truth about wiki.

It's not 55... it has to be higher. Why, because...

I can't ride... 55!

I wouldn't mind it so much, except that most facts can be double-checked for accuracy. I don't know why this one has not been updated, unless someone can verify that top speed.

And I wouldn't say that all wiki is wrong. I just wouldn't use it as my one and only source. Oh, and I wouldn't use the various copies that people seem to throw onto their own web sites that state exactly what wiki states.
