There is more to a ride than the top of the lift hill to the brake run. As far as this goes it is almost an average ride. A bit of a drop, a loop, a helix, some hops and its over in less than a minute. Then there is the insufferable wait in the sun waiting for the other train to get onto the lift hill so we could then enter the station. The wait is neccessary because the ride is so incredibly short and the loading so complex.
I had to yell to the guy in front of me to put his arm through the shoulder restraint before trying to buckle the belt. The ride op then appeared and got the guy properly restrained. Unfortunately while the ride op is shuffling along rebuckling as many as half the riders nothing is moving.
This coaster is a standup. If you are familiar with Mantis at CP you have an idea. But, this ride holds only 2 across rather than 4. On the day I rode this the staff was slow also. This ride was just not worth the wait.
