I wasnt overly impressed with this ride, but it was still pretty entertaining. The preshow was mildly humorous at best. The transition to the other room to be seated was very bad considering the ride op had to go in and check things out and stuff. A smoother transition would have made things a little better, say if there were two people working the ride or something. It kind of killed the moment for me. Considering I knew how the ride worked before I went in, it was funny to watch peoples reactions and what they were doing. One person was actually holding a penny on his hand to see if we were really going upsidedown. I think the fact that my girlfriends hair was not flipping over head and was staying put was a bit of a tell. However, my girlfriend insisted that we were going upsidedown the first few swings and when I tried to tell her how it worked, she didnt believe me. She knew something was up after a while but didnt really believe me until after. It is kind of hard to believe that you are going upsidedown when there is a very loose bar "holding you down". Anyway, if you havent been on the ride dont let this get you down. I hope you enjoy it. I was just expecting more. I thought there would have been more use of images and stuff. I was a little disappointed by that. A decent ride. I guess Ill get back into it at some point since my girlfriend wants to go on it again because she enjoyed it. The theming is the best part. The ride is different to say the least.

Unfortunately - The crystal ball effect is noe gone at SFGAdv. I knew something was missing once we sat in the swing and I just couldnt remember what it was.
