Readers' Opinions
Although it's super exciting and intense, it's too short. The coaster is basically and inverted version of a LIM coaster. Most people will be easily lured to take the front seats, but don't. The experience is the same in all rows. Go get the front seats if you like backward drops but go get the rear seats if you love forward drops. - Adriel Tjokrosaputro I love this ride!!! Except the look on my face when it launches, that the people on the platform get to see! Haha! - Adam Clinard Nothing I've ever riden before. It's a suspended roller coaster (feet dangling), that goes up one side and twists a bit, then goes back down and up the other side backwards and twists a bit. It does it about about 3 times, and you're done. Really fun. Thrill factor for me: 4 out of 5 - Carrie Wehlage Not quite Top Thrill Dragster, but a great ride all the same! A great choice for a ride that takes up a small amount of space. Usually the line is very small. The acceleration is impressive! - Sean McAvella The ultimate in LIM shuttle coasters by virtue of being the only one that twists on the forward and backward spires. - Todd Houts One of the best shuttle coasters I have been on. However, I do not think it is worth more than a half-hour wait. - AJ Hummel
