Whoa, that was one intense launch. This S&S air thrusting coaster was supposed to be the top of the line just five years ago, but has already been outdone by the Intamin rocket coasters. The launch was intense, more so than any other launch I have been on. The vertical tower was certainly fun, up you went at 80 mph and before you could throw your hands up you were at the top. Once at the top, you were able to enjoy the best part of the ride, the slow crawl over which gives the rider a nice chance to check out a nice view, all before plummeting back down vertically. After that, I wish the ride ended. Instead, the train was sent through a couple of high-banked turns, and the transition between the two was really rough and painful. After that, just a bunny hill seperated you and the station, and it was over. The trains had comfortable seats, but the lap bar and stapling caused a great deal of pain for me. I wanted to give this a 7, but now I think an 8 is good. The ride isnt quite as good as Dragster, even though I am giving it the same score primarily based on the incredible launch. HyperSonic is a very fun ride yall, but I would not recommend waiting hours upon hours to ride it.
