I think this is a fun ride! - Adam Clinard

Much, much better than it's Paramount version. Cedar Fair shortened the ride and made it a bit more intense, worth a mild wait - Byron Smith

the launch and then the spiral are great....the rest not so great and lines are WAY too long - Glenn Sims

Nice little (short) coaster, with extraordinary theming for a regional park. We liked it, and would ride it over and over again. - Larry Zimmerman

Although its short ride-time causes many negative rankings, the ride itself is a great family attraction. The shooting-helicopter scene is also an accomplishment for a seasonl amusement park- guests are surrounded in an eruption of fire and water. If the line is short, riding the attraction is a must. - Ty Mullins

a surprisingly very good ride - Brandon S

its really not all that bad:yes it is a little short and yes the lines can be a little long, but usually they are relatively short. the ride is pretty much great after that just not thrilling...its just not a usual roller coaster but it is still good - kalb smith

Okay ride. It's fun, but not worth the lone line. Way too overhyped. - David Kildal

This had such great potential. It's too bad. It's still worth a ride if lines are short. But just know the ride will be short as well. - Don Neal

Too short. - Richard Roman

Such potential - but they so missed it. The initial launch and twisting hill are great, then it's just too lame for words. And the load capacity is atrocious. Nice try, but they missed the mark. - Scottland Jacobson

i absoulotling....... HATE IT - Nate Dapper
