Date Ridden: Summer of 2008. Times Ridden: 1. This thing is basically horrible. The concept is unique. Time Warp (aka Tomb Raider until Cedar Fair bought out the park and eliminated the Paramount names) is a flying coaster which only holds 4 people per train. The ride itself never actually stops so loading is an adventure in itself. You, the rider/victim, stand in a certain location and hop aboard as the train moves slowly by you. The ride op then slams it shut and away you go. The lift is different in that it spends you in a circle taking the train up to the top before it is finally dropped on to the course. Up to this point, the ride has not been great but not bad either. That is about to change. Time Warp is really uncomfortable and I could not wait to get off of it. Your head constantly bangs into the side of the restraint, the inversions are among the most painful out there, and there is not one single comfortable moment once the ride starts its descent. From a distance, Time Warp looks like a fun little coaster that has some different elements. On board, it is a torture machine that I will never ride again. Time Warp is well below average. Just go to youtube, download a video, and put it in your ride tracker. That would be much easier on all parts of your anatomy.Overall Score - 4 for the unique elements. The ride quality would actually be a 2 or 3.
