Togos always seem to get a bad rap, especially their stand-up coasters, but I have enjoyed the two that I have been on. In all honesty, I have enjoyed them more than the Bolliger and Mabillard ones that I have been on (blasphemy I know). Like Shockwave, Skyrider has an action-packed layout and is laced with crazy ejector air-time. I can see where some people would find this uncomfortable while standing up thanks to the restraints, but it did not bother me one bit and was incredibly thrilling. Plus the vertical loop is one of the most forceful I have experienced and even caused me to gray out slightly. My one complaint about the coaster is the trick track segment. The rest of the ride is really smooth (including the helix), but the trick track gives riders a violent jolt to the side like a haymaker from George Foreman. I still recommend Skyrider, but just be prepared for this part.
