BACKWARDS RIDE REVIEW - hands down the most intense ride experience I've ever had on a rollercoaster. This ride actually feels dangerous. You have nothing but a lap bar to hold you in and you feel like you're going to fall off the back of the rollercoaster the whole way through. As you ascend the lift hill your upper body falls forward from headrest and you're just hanging helplessly. You try to desperately cling to the hand grips, but they're slippery and it doesn't help. That's when you realise what you've gotten yourself into.
As you whip over the top of the lift hill and rush down the first drop on your back, eyes to the sky, it is SUCH an intense stomach dropping moment. Much more so than facing forwards.
What ensues can only be described as pure chaos. Because you're going backwards you have no idea what's coming next, and you can't brace yourself against the turns. It's so disorienting. 1000 x more insane than forwards facing. You're flung around like a rag doll, getting crazy Gs from every direction. It's utterly relentless until the end. You feel like it'll be a miracle if you somehow make it through the ride without being flung out of your seat or having your neck snap!
