Well, I went to Six Flags and was pretty much going there all for one reason... this monster. When you go into the park, you could see this green coaster from all around it. The queue is elaborately decorated when you go inside, and theres some cool jungle music in here (im really impressed with the golden kingdom as well). I got on this twice... the first time only a 20 minute wait, and the second time an hour. As you get into the seat (i was in the second row) and lurch up to the launchpad, things get a little nervewracking. Then you hear the loud siren, and you know this means to keep your head back. Lalala... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Thats exactly whats its like. Count to three and then inhale, because you wont be able to breathe until the ride is over... The launch is the most incredible thing ive ever experienced, and the pull up gives some awesome gs. On the launch, you cant breathe, scream, or open your eyes (at least I couldnt)... the speed is insane. Then you crest the hill... well almost. "What the heck? Im going backwards!" was the quote my dad made... we went back into the brakes... we heard the siren again, and launched another time. Wow just as crazy as the first time. We finally made it over the hill, and you will remember the view up there until your dieing day. Then the spiral comes... duck, because the supports are inches away from your head (or so it seems), and before you know it, youre going 100+ again... Still cant see much, but then you rocket over the last airtime filled hill and it stops dead... the most intense ride I was ever on. Wow. Its only flaw is its ride time. only 25 seconds after the launch (I was lucky; I got a rollback).
This is a great coaster, and you shouldnt miss it. Nitro still tops it as the best ride in the park, but its still awesome.
