Excellent new concept to have motorbike shaped carriages. My son (7 year old) and I went on this. Very slow loading, long queues even on a slow day. Cages for people that had flip flops or jandles to put their shoes and bags in. You get really jammed in to the bikes especially the guys (if you know what I mean). Tip: when the back piece is closing on your back to secure you in, arch your back towards it a little otherwise you are in too tight. Second time round my son went in the side car, he found that alot more comfortable. Good ride. - Jennifer Sharpe
