This has to be the greatest launch coaster in the U.S. Like my night ride 4 MF, I had to wait an hour and a quarter, and there werent even any breakdowns! When I finally got into my seat (1st row, second car), The lap bar felt like Millies, and I had to sit on my hat. Train is checked, all clear, and then we were off. Both this and Kingda Ka have a way of reminding you that the launch is coming. Kingda Ka, a horn. Dragster, light system. And off we go, up the straightaway eventually flying at 121 mph. Reaching the top of the hill, I looked ahead and caught an incredible view of the Force ahead of me. I had to enjoy it while it lasted, because the train had to fall into a twisted 400 foot plunge. Reaching 100+ mph once again, we entered the straightaway at the base of the tower until the entrance to the brakes.Applause and dispersal.
This ride might not have too much airtime, but its plenty intense and a notch better than Ka. Bring something to do in line, because the ride is subject to break down. Thats all for my review of one of the greatest coasters ever. 10/10 by theme and intensity.
