    A lot of people overreact about the lift hill. Sure the ride may not be as intense, but its still an RMC.

    First Drop Intensität Headbanging Unangenehm

    since they removed the launch, the ride is slower and therefore much rougher. definitely a headbanger, gave me an instant headache. still worth it though!

    Definitely worse with the lift hill since the layout was meant for a launch, also much MUCH more rough than anticipated, even in the very front.

    What an amazing ride. Even without the amazing launch and a litter slower pace, the wave turns, the airtime hills, and the quad-down more than make up for it and are all absolutely amazing. This is st...

    I’ve been riding since 2017. It’s been slowly been getting neutered, but it’s still an incredible ride. I miss the launch, but the airtime is still very intense and the setting is beautiful.
