This ride was a LOT better than I expected. It's not exactly good but it does not deserve the hate it gets. -> Update: I take that back after I got to reride it in 2021 in the back row and dam that sucked a lot.

i used to really not like this coaster, but with my recent rides in 2021, it actually wasnt too bad. you just gotta brace yourself in some of the turns. its certainly a short coaster but for such a compact ride i cant really complain. i think the roughness can work in the coaster's favour to make it feel a bit more intense than it actually is. although, obviously it still isnt perfect, some of the transitions are really weird and oddly-shaped and the trains are super compact, and its not much better when you pull the restraint down, you cant even hold onto the restraint properly if you wanted to. but whatever, this is a super old ride model and weird things like that are just kinda something you have to expect, and not really worth complaining about. it would probably be better to just avoid the ride if you really cant find any reason to like it. but if you're weird like me and love a good old rough steel coaster, sure, give it a go!

This blew me away the first time I rode it. It’s an incredible coaster with amazing theming, a decent layout, and great surroundings. This ride is just great fun. It doesn’t have many extreme forces, but the side to side turns and launches make this a must ride. It used to break down a ton, but now it’s better.

It’s a great ride if you appreciate it for what it is. Sure, it would be nice if there were more and longer coaster sections. But the main focus of this ride is to appeal to younger children. The theming and storyline are great. Look at this as a dark ride, not a coaster, and you will come off satisfied.
Also, it’s a launch coaster, dive coaster, spinning coaster, dark ride, and a 4D coaster.

The vertical lift is a great way to start this ride, especially with just a lap bar (albeit a terrible one). The first drop provides great ejector airtime in all rows, especially the back. The non inverting loop throws you from side to side. Here come the mid-courses! Oh boy, do these kill the ride. Every time there should be a great element like an airtime hill or something, you go into an MCBR that is severely trimmed. In the front, you do get some airtime going up into one, and in the back you get airtime going out of it. They do kill the ride’s pace. The helix in the middle of the ride and the inclined loop at the end are very intense elements and a nice surprise. The restraints are bad and the ride can be rough at times. Overall, this coaster is good, just with dead spots.
Great theming throughout the queue and ride, as Universal usually has. The uphill launch is great and there are a few good airtime moments on the ride...
Great theming throughout the queue and ride, as Universal usually has. The uphill launch is great and there are a few good airtime moments on the ride. It feels really short and the section after the MCBR feels slow. I love the fire and mist effects throughout the ride and the part after the launch makes the ride.
