Readers' Opinions
Amazing speed. Totally euphoric. Just don't close your eyes or you'll miss it! Scariest moment is probably right before the launch, when you see the car in front of you go, or not (it occasionally does not launch properly). Feels like what a face-lift might be like (not that I would know). - Jean Seo-Park Oh... my... G-D! Amazing! I waited a total of 2 hours and 20 minutes for 2 rides, both of which in the front, because I didn't want to risk it. It was so intense! Just the force on your face, and even your BODY was just so amazing. The end of the launch and the end of the drop both felt like the same amount of force, which I knew was true but didn't expect! The first time I rode it, I was halfway up the first hill, and thought "SNAP, I'M HIGH UP!" so I threw up my hands and kept em up. On the 2nd one, I threw em up halfway through the launch! It is so hard to keep your hands up during the launch and after the drop! Anyway, the force of the ride was too much... this barely overturns el toro! - Eli Katzman Waiting in line for this ride was my scariest moments in a long time- staring at the incredible height, watching the speed, and listening to people scream. The ride itself was good, but not spectacular. It's so fast, you can't even see how high up you are or enjoy the drop. I could barely keep my eyes open, it was so fast. Also, if you're having a good hair day, don't get on, because you certainly won't be when you get off. I couldn't even brush my hair afterwards. However, I can't imagine a coaster lover arriving at GADV and leaving without riding this one. And remember that even if the line sign says 120 minutes like it did for us, we got on within 40. - K P Very dissapointing!!! The launch was weak, and the whole ride was rough and had way too much vibration. XLC at KD was SO much better even tho it wasnt the tallest or fastest. - Christy Shuman I was fortunate enough to get on this ride within 45 minutes, as opposed to the posted "2 hour wait". I'd say it's not worth much longer than that, but it was pretty good while it lasted. The launch is amazing; I don't think I've ever gone that fast in my life. My only complaint was that the ride was REALLY rattling me around... almost to the point where I was sure I had a headache getting off. Still, if the line wasn't too long, I'd ride it again. - Mitch Rozetar Great Ride! The Only Problem Is The Ride Is To Short. - James Kurek The lines were tooooooo long, and I did not have the patience to wait and wait. The whole park was that way. Too many people, too little staff, and a few mechanical failures here and there. Did I mention my entrance fee was only $50 (sarcasm intended)? - Larry Levine This ride is very overrated. It was a huge waste of money and a huge disappointment. If you really want to ride it, it's not worth more than a 30 minute wait (if that), but I will not ride it again. - J Whetzel The launch was euphoric and the drop had a lot of force and was scary. - Nick S
