It saddens me to give this beautiful coaster such a low ranking, but the ride continue to deteriorate. I rode MS last Thursday (8/2)after it finally opened in the evening. The ride was shut down for most of the day for repairs. They ran three trains, but in each train they had several seats roped off because they were broken. I rode with my brother in the front seat around 9pm. As the train entered the lift, we hopped a couple of times and felt as if our car was off the track. The same thing happened at the top of the hill: a couple of bounces as the car appears to want to hop the tracks. The first drop is slowed by the break run, which is the cheap way CP has tried to stop the roughness of the ride from the past. After we went down the first drop, the ride became worse. I really felt unsafe on the ride, and so did my brother. Every turn the wheels would screech and hop, as if the coaster didnt want to follow the track and derail. My brother and I both felt as if the train was falling apart. After the turns, the train would speed up slightly but then slow way down so it feels like you are hardly moving. I will not ride MS again until CP either retracks the ride or redesigns it. I would give it a 4, but because the ride seems to be falling apart, I give it a 3.
