Theming Launch Disappointing! Dead spots

This was one of my favourites when I was young, but I rode it today and I was baffled by the dullness of the ride. Dont get me wrong, the launch was still great and the first inversion after you hit the sunlight again is awesome, but thats it. There's really not much more to it. They put a lot of work in the theming, I really enjoyed the walkthrough of the haunted metro, but that does not make the ride any better for me.

A lot of thought was put into the design of this coaster overhaul and it totally paid off. The cue line is a fantastic attraction in itself, that is not to be spoiled in this review. The train hardware is quite uncomfortable, but alright for most people, I guess. Light and sound effects in the launch tunnel are fantastic and the launch is surprisingly strong for its age and technology. It really can compete with some much more recent launches and packs a punch! The entrance into the sea serpent roll features very strong positives and ends a great opening. The rest of the layout is mediocre and it can be argued it doesn't work outdoors. I did not find it too bad, because it always provides some amount of force, but it surely leaves something to be desired. The ending sequence in the subway provides a great closer, though. All in all, this is gonna be a controversial attraction in terms of ratings. Personally, I have a soft spot for this coaster, consider it the third best coaster in the park and am willing to look past its shortcomings.

The definition of a dragging ride, this coaster starts off with people (possibly) greying out, but that's it.

Launch was really great but after that... there was not much to enjoy. It doesnt help that the first row of each train dont have enough space for your legs and that the ride was shaky.

After the launch and the sea-serpent loop, the the ride is pretty much over. Theming is on point.

Xpress platform is a hit or miss. The themeing and launch are great but the rest of the ride is just.. boring. I can’t help to feel that it is kind of pointless.

In my opinion the best themed ride of this park. The ride itself is fun, especially the fourceful launch.

Great and unique theme, good and forceful launch and I suggest riding it in the middle of the day since there's probably no queue by then.

I wouldn't call this ride rough - it just has a bit of a shuffle. I kept my head forward and didn't bang my head once.

Good theming and overall experience, the ride would be better if it was indoors.

The only good thing about the coaster is its theming, especially the queuline. I never enjoyed Xpress and find it uninspired and very rough!
