THIS IS THE BEST RIDE IN THE PARK! THIS IS WORTH THE 3 HOUR WAIT! if you dont get the chance to go on this ride you missed out big time no matter how long the lines are wait! the drop at the beginning is soo exhilarating its one of the best feelings in the world! - Jaren Mitchell

Tall, fast, intense, about 4 Gs in the spiral helix. Outstanding ride. - W.G. Overman

Went on when i was little and luvd it total 9/10 - Jack Borgeson

Other than the first hill, the ride isn't that scary as it looks. Just scream and relax, and you'll enjoy the rest of the ride. But be careful towards the end there's a part where you might want to put your hands inside again. - Adriel Tjokrosaputro

Impressive and intimidating but the g-force on the loops at the end is too much and caused blackouts for me and 14 year old coaster fanatic daughter- glad i rode it for the experience, but cannot recommend it as great and would not ride it again; it the blackout risk does not worry you then I would give it a 9 - Fraser Paskell

lots of fun without loops. I started to black out a little, and i heard this is not uncommon. Went away at end of ride, so no big deal. The G force is absolutely worth the wait. - nik hunter

This one was really fun. I love the drop. - Chloe !

Smooth turns and hills with lots of speed...perfection, although there are times when breathing just isn't possible - Ryan L

G force hurts. Great ride though with lots of hills. It deserves a 9 - Jason Kelly
