A violent slap in the face to any fanatic of the Flying Scooter - this is just a boring, castrated mess. First off, the sails are clipped, as compared to the earlier Bisch-Rocco examples (Knoebels, Paramounts Carowinds, etc). Secondly, cables have been added to the car mechanisms to prevent snapping. Also, the rudders are limited by a stopper. Finally, the death blow - the ride is painfully slow. As a result, although it is certainly pretty to look at, the ride is rather useless, relegated to kiddie status. With all the skill I could possibly muster, there was not a snap to be had. Sigh.
