Hot take, this is wildly overrated. Like someone else said running way too fast through some of those smaller inversions. Snappy inversions can be fun and intense but these were uncomfortable and headache inducing. Plus there’s a noticeable rattle. The ride itself and surrounding scenery do look beautiful however.

Wow thing kinda blew me away. I went in super excited for the big 4, but to my surprise I ended up liking this more than 2 of the 4 (Nitro and Jersey Devil). I’m sure the front row ride helped but this thing is so incredibly fun and surprisingly comfortable. The feeling of flying coasters is so unique and compared to stand ups they’re the way better and more practical out of the box idea. This definitely isn’t the most intense coaster but it doesn’t need to be. You’re moving along at a decent pace, not even through a crazy layout or anything but it’s just such an enjoyable almost relaxing experience, plus it’s butter smooth. Not to mention it also has one of the most insane elements on any coaster which is the pretzel loop. Such a weird but amazing sensation. Compared to the rest of the ride it’s super intense but the contrast between the loop and everything else is actually kinda nice and just works for some reason. Maybe my ratings a little too generous but what can I say it was just too much fun. Kinda underrated if you ask me.

So, I went in knowing this is generally considered to be one of the not as great rides at the park, but I was cautiously optimistic because its B&M and the stand up concept seemed pretty cool to me. I mean what could be so bad about it? Well for starters, literally everything. When I first got on I was baffled by the restraint system cause I’ve never ridden a standup before. When I managed to get into it my toes were touching the floor, but most of my feet were off the ground. I asked the ride op if he could do anything to adjust the height, but he sorta just brushed it off. (Not saying it’s his fault, this was my first time on a stand up so idk how these things work). Still, even in discomfort already I was hoping it would deliver. What would follow is an actual soul sucking experience of a coaster. Usually pain on a coaster comes from head banging, and there was plenty of that, but this is the first time a restraint completely ruined a ride for me. My entire lower half was in excruciating pain through every inversion. When we got to the mid course break run I had a glorious sigh of relief, only to discover it wasn’t over yet. Now I don’t wanna give this thing too much flak cause I’m sure it’s different depending on the rider, but it’s the only coaster I’ve ridden where the pain massively outweighed any fun I was having to the point where you couldn’t pay me to do it again. It just sucked too much for me to ever consider reriding it.
