I had REALLY high expectations before riding this and let me just say...IT EXCEDED ALL OF THEM! I cant even begin to describe it, thats how insane it is. After you ride it, you dont know what happened or what you did. You go up the first hill backwords, looking down at the ground. This method is so much more exciting, because you cant tell when you are going to drop and in return, this disorients you from the beginning. Before the big plummit, you drop 20ft, then climb back up 15 ft or so and without any warning then dive 200 ft at an almost 90 deg angle face first! That is not all though...around 3/4 down the drop you are intensly flipped onto your back...it was so confusing I dont even know which way I was flipped- Forwards or backwords. From there on in I coudnt even begin to tell you what I actually rode. All I remember is the long turn where you are finally upright and going forward...it gives you a slight break in the ride to say - "What the hell am I riding!" and those were my exact words if youre wonderin. On to airtime. bb asked me there was any...I thought for a second and realized it was something more then airtime. It was more like being thrown around then anything else, but it was a "good" thing not a bad thing. You really feel like you are going to be thrown OUT of the ride. X flips you, throws you around, goes forwards, backwards. This leads to one thing....INSANITY. So no..there isnt airtime like in Nitro or something, but trust me...its an awesome feeling, brand new to coasters. Now on to the "minor" faults of the ride....#1- They NEED to speed up the load time. This ride must have taken twice as long to load then any other coaster I have been one. The ride oporators actually push back the seats so you are reclined. It should be done automatically! Though they dont need to do each car, still doing 3 at a time is a pain in the butt. #2- This ride is not smooth. Now its hard to say whether this is negative or not, cuz if they make it smoother it might take away some of the personality of the ride. You must be thinking to yourself..."Damn this ride really is different then other coasters if Sephiroth doesnt want it to be smooth". I would love to see B+M make one, but I have to say I enjoyed the shaking...but it can be a little rough for some. That is the list of my complaints...which means I dont have many. This is now my #1 ride even topping Spiderman, yes, Spiderman. It is soooo sweet for me to be saying that. I really wanted to go on a ride that blew me away as much as Spiderman did and lets just say Magic Mountain had what Ive been craving for...
