Really impressed with this one. Blisteringly fast, shockingly forceful. It's hard to keep the ride straight in your head because every element delivers an unexpected mix of forces. The tophat transitions strong positives into laterals and ejector on the way down. The stall is a blissful moment of zero-G bookended by ejector pops on the entry and exit. The turnaround gives two pops of forces in quick succession--airtime and a jolt towards the ground. Most of the rolls eject you, but one includes a sneaky moment of strong positives. It also throws all these things at you with hardly any time to breathe. Overall a diverse, fastpaced, creative ride. Tons of fun. I would almost say it was too short, except for the fact that if it was any longer, it would probably be too intense. This is just right up to the perfect level of intensity, and I don't think I would change a thing.
The launch is great, but after that there's really nothing. I also banged my knee really badly on the plastic shell of the horses on the trains--watch...

Far better than its reputation suggests, and narrowly my favourite at Coney Island. The layout is a genuinely excellent mix of airtime and whip through the inversions (several of which also give good airtime). It's probably sacrilegious, but I found the weird shaping of the inversions reminded me of Iron Gwazi's death roll at times. Yes, it's true, it does ride like a shopping cart down a cobbled street. But think of it this way: the experience is something like you'd imagine if someone told you that GCI somehow made a eurofighter. Although the roughness can be uncomfortable, it made the ride feel more out of control and intense than it would otherwise be at times. The restraints are terrible, but at least they leave you lots of freedom for your upper body to get tossed around by laterals. If you like rougher wood coasters and intense loopers, then this is a perfect ride for you.
What can you say, it's a classic. Somewhat mild in the front, but there are pops of real standing airtime at the back and violent laterals at the back...
What can you say, it's a classic. Somewhat mild in the front, but there are pops of real standing airtime at the back and violent laterals at the back. Definitely recommend sitting as far back as you can. If you like laterals, sit by yourself to get thrown from side to side at every turn. An unpredictable, wild, absolutely classic ride.
