Fastest ride I have ever been on! Loses a mark for being an eyesore on the lake. 9/10 - D H

This ride looks incredible and I hope to be able to ride it one day!!! - Thrill Seeker82

Exceptional feeling of speed, especially on the front row! - Mark Moore

Almost perfect! This ride is my favourite at the park. It looked a shorter ride than it actually is and didn't look like much. However, it is clear when you get close to the front of the ride that a considerable amount of money has been spent and it is well themed and modern. I think that you are supposed to shoot out of the building due to an explosion caused by a monkey. There is a short film involving a scientist and a monkey before you shoot at high speeds out of the building around the track turning upside down at one point and flying over the lake. The ride is floorless and having rode on both the second and the front row I would say that the experience is not lost if you are not on the front row. This ride is fabulous and worth queuing for! - Emily G
