This is a great ride, but after the third time, it gets kinda' old. The 2 dives after the curves are the best part of the ride, because you get lots of air-time. Front row is definately the worst row, and back is by far the best. Depending on how long the line is, definately do it, but it's not worth it if you have to wait 45 minutes (that rarely happens; the line is usually freakishly short). I think this ride is great for all ages that can ride. - Asher Oosterbaan
