In some ways, this is a sort of mini version of Kingda Ka or the Top Thrill Dragster. You go from a dead stop to 82 mph in less than 2.5 seconds, up a 200 ft tall tower (completely vertical) over a small himm then straight down (also completely vertical). Its roughly 40 mph slower and 200+ ft shorter than KK or TTD, but make no mistake, still mucho fun. The launch is very intense, and the climb and drop are more fun than a barrel of monkeys (or so I assume). It also has a couple things those bigger coasters dont: some track with actual ride elements after this opening salvo, in the form of two swooping overbanked curves. Its a short ride, but the real purpose is to give you a fast, heavy-duty rush, and it unquestionably delivers.
