Guests must be tall enough to straddle the seat and place both feet firmly on the floor to ride.

Readers' rating:

The loop kinda felt wierd, but overall this was a great ride for a TOGO coaster. It may look short and have a very simple layout but it seems longer than dominator when you are on it. - Steven D

Uncomfortable. It feels weird but the rehab helps. The drop and loop were great in the back both with airtime. Rest just hurts neck, back, legs, and GROIN.the brake before turn into station takes 10 minutes. Waits have gotten worse since rehab. Ow. 3/10 - Edward Morgan

The groin seat is not the most comfortable. Reminds me of the standing Mantis at CP. The drops are pretty good. - Jean Seo-Park

Short, compact, and a little on the painful side, this stand up is worth a visit, but won't make anyone's top 50 list, for sure. - James Rao

Just like LG said, a good warm up, but nothing special. B&M stand ups are much better and smoother, too... Still, this was my first steel and looping coaster ever! - Eli Katzman

A good warm-up ride, nothing too extreme but not boring, either. Maybe it's because it's a stander, but the inversion has a uniquely intense feel to it. - LG Mills
