I've ridden the KD version several times, but I must say I enjoyed this one more. I think it was either because the interior lighting was less or maybe since it was a walk-on my eye didn't have time to adjust. - M. Ryan Traylor

Never go to Kings Island and not ride this ride. This is the best ride at Kings Island by far the only bad thing is the air conditioning makes a longer wait because people want the ac. Dont be a wimp if your 54 inches tall and just ride the ride. - Darrell Weaver

I couldn't tell which way was up. Easily the best indoor dark coaster I've ever ridden. - Jamie Bennish

This ride is extremely fun as you get launched out into the darkness full of loops and a fun corkscrew at the end. Although jerkey for a steel ride, if you can handle the beast you can handle this. - Michael Hurley

I love this Ride, its a lot shorter wait than Firehawk - J Goodman

I love this ride! I never knew what it looked like without the building. Was the building something KI and KD added after? - Adam Clinard

If you thought Vortex was good, wait till you ride this. It's a launched coaster, which means no lift hill, but other than that, expect more of the same- as in going upside down multiple times. It may have 2 less inversions than Vortex, but it does this indoors where there is no light and is not very rough at all. It can easily give the Beast and Diamondback a run for their money. - Jon Williams

Interesting ride that I honestly didn't expect much from, initially. A sudden launch into darkness, and lots of twists and turns left me disoriented but pleasantly surprised. - Erin B

Decent ride. Identical to the Kings Dominion version. - Will Chilcote

The best day coaster in the park... power launch+ darkness + cool waiting area= a must ride at KI - Byron Smith

It's back to lights off in 2009, and the launch is as disorienting as ever. The train stops in the middle of the ride, then proceeds thru a short segment to the finish. Nice ride! Great theming. So THIS is where the aliens are buried...? - Larry Zimmerman
