Im not really too fond of this ride. I have heard people say that this is Schwartkopfs best work, but I dont buy it. It is the worst coaster in the park. There are some parts that I enjoy, but Im not that big of a fan. I hate how you cant pick your own seat. I dont think I have ever been in the front. And if you ask, the attendent gets mad and says that you have to go where they tell you. If you sit somewhere other than where they tell you, they get mad. I do like going upsidedown with just a lapbar. That is cool. The lift hill is so unbelievable slow. It takes longer to get to the top, than the entire duration of the ride. The first drop is pretty cool. Then after that, nothing great. The ride does get really super intense though. Those turns are crazy. There are people that say that they have actually blacked out on this, but I have not experienced that. This was actually my first looping coaster. I was 7. I was so scared that I cried all the way up the lift hill. However, nothing to be scared of here, especially since I went on it again right after that. Im not really too fond of the wood blocks that this right is set on, or the fact that water is used as a weight. Yet, Im not a ride designer or engineer or anything. When going to the exit, once again, the walk to it is like the lift hill--longer than the actual ride. Overall, this ride is short and intense. The drop into the double loop is fun. The twists and turns pack a mega punch. But, this ride is nothing great, but in turn, it is nothing really too bad either. UPDATE: I have a new found love for this ride. Rating changed from 7 to 8.
