A "dark" coaster filled with various lighting effects. This ride is actually a bobsled coaster. Cedar Point rethemed the old Avalanche Run ride in 1990 to become this ride. The ride is quite a different experience, a departure from the tracked steel and wooden coasters. It is also fun, and worth a try. There are 3D glasses available, but really not worth it.

Not a great ride. It was pretty fun the 1st time. Its way better than La Vibora @ SF Over Texas. Intensity: 3/10 - Will Gibson

When you are waiting in line you get scared and expect something like flight of fear at kings island or kings dominion but is a great ride for people of all ages. 7/10 - Steven D

I actaully found this ride enjoyable. 8/10 - Bob Miller

2 out of 10. After the ride was over, I thought, "That's IT???" This seemed like a kiddie ride. I was bored. Hey, Cedar Point: Gut this ride and turn it into a great indoor coaster like Rock n' Roller Coaster at Disney! - Roger S

This ride is pointless and should be dismantled. - ben breeg

7-Good. I had a surprisingly good time on this ride, possibly because there are so few bobsled coasters around, possibly because it was campy to the point of being entertaining. The effects are cheap, but that seemed to enhance the enjoyment of the ride. The coaster also feels somewhat out of control at times, particularly if you're sitting in the front seat. - Joshua Counsil

4 out of 10. I noticed The theming was pretty lame, but it must have been pretty neat in the nineties. The ride was cool, but when I got off, I realized twenty minute wait probabuly wasn't worth it. - Bradley Keith

This ride is pretty good and being in the dark is fun. Unlike other dark coasters I have ridden this may be the darkest. The line was a walk on so that was great. - Kris Peerman

Use this enclosed bobsled as a break from the sun. When my father and I rode, I think the AC was either broken down or not pumping as much cool air as it should -- it got rather warm rather quickly inside the building. Nonetheless, you'll be in the dark, at least. The ride itself isn't anything to write home about, and as others have said, the 'theming' is definitely lax. Still, it's different, so it gets a decent mark from me. - Beth Bickar
