This ride is too jerky and is not safe for any kid up to 60". My daughter is 58 inches tall and was injured on this ride. It has been 2 weeks and she still has a black eye. - Brian McClellan

It's pretty rough & jerky. I accidentally whopped my hubby in the head w/my shoulder on the ride if that tells you anything. I might ride it again, I don't know. - Adrienne McDonald

* OUCH! * - Jean Seo-Park

More pain than fun. - James Rao

one word for this ride......ROUGH!!!! OUCH!!!!! KD, you need to fix up this ride like you did grizzly..... So I just wanted to add to this, went to KD on 3-16-10 and they had redid alot of the track, its slower, brakes at bottom of hill, but its much more smooth now, it went from an ok ride to an outstanding ride... goood job KD.... next shockwave.... - bryan shepard

6.5 -7 out of 10 Good ride, fun..Its worth the usual 1 minute wait hahahah - Jason Skaggs

Some people hate this ride, but I think it's pretty intense! Nice drop, but you can't ride it 4 times in a row! I tried 3, and I was done with this ride for the day... Still, try it! Not as bad as I just made it sound. ... but can someone remind me what TLC is? - Eli Katzman

Justin pretty much has it all right on this woodie. This thing is fast, powerful, and hard-hitting, but its theming is...well, its theming has been decimated. TLC = MUCH needed. - LG Mills
