This ride was pretty cool! But make sure you get to the park at opening, so you can ride it early in the day, after rides on things like Mr. Freeze and evel knievel, so the wait is short. It's fun, but the line can get out of hand. You won't expect what you do at the top! - Eli Katzman

This Bussink Evolution ride is a pretty intense midway experience. However, it is not a Flashpass attraction and the line moves slower than any midway line I have ever experienced. At five minutes per cycle (load, ride, unload), this ride will suck the life out of your amusement park visit. Honestly, on a busy day, if you have Flashpass, ride this attraction first thing, and then ride your Flashpass attractions. Xcalibur is worth a ride, but not if the wait is more than about 10 minutes. - James Rao
