This new all steel monster is a very welcome addition to this originally Canadian theme park. I knew when Cedar Point purchased the park we'd see some improvement but this adrenaline pumper is more than I could have expected. This one's not for those fearful of heights, but if you can get your nerves over the first drop hill, the height will be the last thing on your mind as you buck the wild waves of smooth track to the helix and all the way back to the station...There's a brake on the last drop into a short speed curve before you enter the post ride post-staging area that seems unnecessary, but all in all this is the most air-time (thanks to a sturdy but scary retraint system that leaves your shoulders and feet dangling in an all but non-existent car design) that you'll experience on any Wonderland coaster. The seats are angled back so the lift hill seems even steeper. - William LeMasurier
