Great launch, comfy trains, and surprisingly decent dips of airtime, but it's also offensively short and has a few dead spots. Not exactly what I would have liked for my home park, but it's a step in the right direction. The operations are the worst I have ever experienced on any coaster on the planet, though. This shouldn't be a 2-hour wait on a low-crowd day.

From when this ride was announced to after my first ride, I was pretty disappointed. This ride is EXTREMELY short, and has many dead spots. This ride replaced 3 existing rides that I would argue were ...

From when this ride was announced to after my first ride, I was pretty disappointed. This ride is EXTREMELY short, and has many dead spots. This ride replaced 3 existing rides that I would argue were all better than this one. The launch is a bit punchy though, and the first top hat has some good sustained ejector. From there the ride pretty much meanders around some forceless turns with some weak ejector thrown in. The trains are very comfortable though, except there is a noticeable rattle in the valleys, which is a shame, because TT2 has the same issue and is a similar story to this ride, where zamperla came in and renovated it. This ride is too short for its own good and despite having 2 good moments, the rest doesn't make up for it at all. Also this ride cost 18 million dollars??

The launch is punchy, every hill provides decently strong ejector but the capacity and operations are absolutely abysmal. This would be a great ride as a walk on as while the duration extremely short ...

The launch is punchy, every hill provides decently strong ejector but the capacity and operations are absolutely abysmal. This would be a great ride as a walk on as while the duration extremely short it is punchy, however with just the one 12 seat train and sleepwalking attendants it ended up being a two hour wait on a slower weekday. Sprint to this at opening and don't bother coming back.
