Three seconds of fun. This ride is not worth any sort of wait. If you can get right on, then go for it as the views are nice. If you have to wait, skip this dog. - James Rao

Some good views are about all you can say about this ride. We got right on, but if there was any bit of a wait we probably would have skipped it. 5/10 - Blake Nieman

The only rides I honestly compare this to are Liberty Launch (HW) and Tower of Terror. From memory, the ride was more thrilling than Liberty Launch only because I was not expecting the first shoot upwards. After this, the following drops seemed boring. S: TOP in SFSTL looks way more intense on the first drop, as you see all the other people drop around you. I have never ridden S: TOP because of wait times and my lack of interest in drop towers. 6/10 - Jake Jones

Awesome launcher. It is fun being able to see everything from the top, and to see which tour will launch first. Not worth a long wait, but weekdays the line usually isn't long. The actually ride is great, though. - Jake Gould
