WT's location is excellent, though it can get cold standing in line at night. Ride in the very back seat; the view looking down from the top of the back spiral is amazing. - Jamie Bennish

7- Nice ride, enjoyed the launch, sit in very front or very back for best results. - Justin Vuong

Great smooth coaster. I love how every time it shoots through the station it gains more speed. I was somewhat nervous before the ride, but I ended up enjoying it. I also noticed the lake mist in you face because it is right next to the lake. - Bradley Keith

8-Commendable. Fast and twisted, but the backwards deceleration at the end of the ride left me feeling somewhat nauseous, a first for a roller coaster. The queue line is adjacent to the beach, which provides a mercifully cool breeze while you wait. - Joshua Counsil

Usually has fairly short lines. I enjoyed this ride. I wish it went higher, though. The initial launch is great and is my favorite part. We rode it about ten times, and found the very back to be the best spot. 8 out of 10. - Roger S

I waited a little longer than what I thought was worth it for this. It takes them a while to load because (I think) all the seats need to be filled? Regardless of that, it was a decent shuttle. I was a little dizzy afterwards, but nothing too serious. Try it. - Beth Bickar

8-10 Great ride... but it wont be the face of Cpoint ...ever. - Jason Skaggs
