 Review of Shockwave @ Kings Dominion

I'm surprised this ride is still running. Load times are slow, the restraint system looks like something out of a mad scientists basement, and it's dated. The Japanese are great at making a lot of things, but roller coasters just have never been one of them. As others have mentioned, if you're in the back of the train, the first drop does provide some awesome airtime. The loop generates some nice positive Gs as well. From there, it's all down hill... It's painful, jerky, and a headbanger. My neck was sore afterwards. And the banking on the first helix seems really off- it's overbanked by at least 15 degrees in my opinion. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think someone was thrown out of this thing many years ago.
